I have been reading - with a new interest - the various conversations about bridal showers and weddings. My daughter is getting married next year. She and her fiancée are in their mid/late thirties....neither have previous marriages. They have been career people and each have a LOT of good friends as far back as high school, college, and now through work. My daughter has been in right under 20 weddings. Now that it is her "time" so to speak, her concern is NOT the presents but rather the presence of her family and friends at her shower and wedding. She has always been so supportive of others, I hope she is not disappointed. Their wedding will cost waaaay too much in my opinion, but it is their choice. They just want everyone to have a great time. There has been NO talk of presents. I can't imagine either of them taking offense at any gift. I just kind of wanted to give a different perspective. All the threads talking about weddings being a money grab or whatever has kind of upset me because I know this one for sure is not that way, and I hate to think people might think that.
