As working artists living hand to mouth and raising our own kids we declined to give wedding presents from the get go. Many of his family live in a different city and we considered our being there with fancy dress, the gas to get there and back, and hotel room to be gift enough. Besides people now are already well established with households of their own before they get married, either either two or one if they are already living together. The whole point of wedding presents was to give the young couple just starting out, leaving their parents' home, a start on the basic items to set up household. The weddings we went to, those kids probably already made more money than we did. ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-19837229942051526212022-09-25T14:06:56.558-05:002022-09-25T14:06:56.558-05:00Well that is very cool - I'm glad other people...Well that is very cool - I'm glad other people also know how fabulous you are!

As for the wedding, it must be a real conundrum at times for a woman. I know where my one suit hangs in the closet and that's as far as I have to go to make my selection! Having said that, I will be quite happy not to attend weddings for a while. They wind up costing a fortune. The "worst" one for us was to have travelled to Nova Scotia, with plane fares, car rental and accommodation to contend with, to say nothing of clothing and the wedding gift - and it lasted five months!
