So last night I went to a wedding of a friend of my husband's family. This man is marrying a very lovely bride and they threw a nice wedding. It was kind of hard for me because I'm still a little bit miffed at him because of MY wedding. When my husband and I were married, this friend and his family all came (11 adults and 6 children) and not one of them brought a gift, or even a card. Now I know that you're supposed to be all like "oh the gift does not matter" but really, honestly, it DOES MATTER. Now it does not have to be something expensive.. just something that says "hey I thought of you and your husband and I hope you have a happy life together and whenever you see this *insert gift name here* you'll think of me" But no, not one of them bothered, and it was not about finances because they all have plenty of money to go out to very fancy restaurants all the time...

ANYWAY, I know it's petty of me to think this way but I just can't help it, so when this man informed me that he was getting married and invited us to the wedding, I really didn't want to get him a gift, but of course I went out and searched for hours to find just the right thing that would suit him and his wife.

I feel very annoyed that this bothers me so much.

After all we are humans... such feelings do come to many of us.. I too always ponder on such things and make life miserable.. Just try to stop thinking of that stuff.. But i am really curious to know what gift you picked up for the couple..??
