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!!

Oh my. *chuckle*


OK. I realize the word "jump" can have many meanings, and it may be difficult for one to decipher what someone could possibly mean by "jump all over," so I'll post the yourdictionary.com definition below. The definition of the word in the context in which I used it is highlighted below.

"No, I stated that in my original statement to you."

No, you did not. Post 668 you stated: "I gave a gift." Nothing about meeting the couple. unitl Post 691 where you stated you had met the couple.

<<I just don't see why as a date you would bring a gift? >>


Think outside the box.

My thinking outside the box as to why he didn't include his gift with yours is not very flattering to you. But, you asked to "think outside the box." shrug
