We've been invited to the wedding of the daughter of very dear friends, who've been very kind to our dds over the years.
I've always agreed with posters on mn who feel it's a bit tacky for the wedding couple to ask for money as a present - and this is the case with this wedding - it's the groom's second marriage, their house is full.
They're saving for a deposit on their own home and have therefore asked for money and said there is no wedding list as a consequence.
Judging by previous postings on AIBU, it's clearly a growing trend...and one in my old-fogeyish ways I don't like!
One of the problems with money is judging how much to give, and I'd rather present them with something like an original painting (doesn't take up much room and might appreciate in value) or champagne.
If you've been faced with a similar scenario, what did you do? And if you gave money, how much did you give?
Thanks!
