Ok, with all the wedding talk and what to give for gifts, I am NOW, after going to weddings for almost 20 years-lol! invited to an outdoor wedding in someone's home.
Here is the scenario:
Bride and Groom (she 22, he 36)
Living together for over 3 years
Groom-12 year old son
Bride and Groom-have a 3 year old and she is due with their 2nd in August
Wedding:
At her mother's house-catered food from restaurant

I know in other posts I said I would probably give the same as a sit down reception but we were orally invited to this wedding so I assume they are doing this just to get married before the 2nd child arrives. I have NO clue now what to do about a gift-lol!!

Less enjoyable how, exactly? What would have been missing that would make your wedding day less than wonderful?

We don't give gifts at weddings, we give money. At a shower, I will spend $30 on a friend and $50 or more on family.

No, it doesn't fit the definition of a lot. Unless you're speaking a language other than American English.

I think it fits the definition in the context the speaker is speaking of. If it's 2 murders, that's alot compared to normal people. If it's 2 drinks, that's alot enough to stop someone from driving right?

OMG-ROTFLMAO!!!!!!
It just bothers them that I ACTUALLY know people like this. They can't keep asking me "Well then give me a link, give me an example".

You remember that you brought a gift, but don't remember if your date did and don't remember if you discussed beforehand about gift giving? Uh-huh.

Nope.

<< If it's 2 murders, that's alot compared to normal people.>>

It's MORE than normal people, but it's not a lot.

<>

It's enough to stop some people from driving, but it still isn't a lot of drinks.

You know TWO. Two doesn't mean there are a lot of people like that ... as you keep saying there are.
