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!!

Especially if you're not a married or engaged couple.

I don't have anything against anybody. Do you think I do? You seem to be after me is all. And I feel like a frightened deer caught in the headlight, TBH.

Yeah...maybe juice was the wrong word. I like "strawman" much better, so I'll go with that. However, my question was a genuine one, asking if you were calling another poster a liar, and you jumped all over it.

Everyone should have kids. They are the greatest joy in the world. But they are also terrorists. You'll realize this as soon as they are born, and they start using sleep deprivation to break you.

Maybe they don't know that there is more out there in the world to enjoy.

It's silly but as she clarified ( to her advantage)they had met on several occasions.

You might not be obligated. But then, I do all sorts of things I'm not obligated to do ... as, I'm sure, does PKA.

No but I would think that my fil would come and see his grandchildren than just sit on his couch and vegetate every night and weekend. To me, my family would be more important than PBS!!

Why did he invited her as his "date" then?
