I've been invited to a wedding, a lovely couple who have been together quite a few years.
They have had a rough time with housing in the last couple of years but have recently moved into a lovely little house, even if it is a bit small.
For the wedding gifts they have written that as they have lived together a while they don't need any household items but if people wish to get them a gift they would really appreciate a small donation to their "conservatory fund"
Now I don't have a problem with this, it will give them more room to work with around their small kitchen/diner and it's something that I assume they will get good use out for many years to come.
Another friend, also invited, is outraged at "the cheek of it" and is insisting that she will buy them a set of cutlery to show them that she doesn't approve of their conservatory fund.
I honestly don't see the problem and think this friend is being childish and quite mean to a couple she is supposed to "best buds" with.
So who is BU? The wedding couple for asking for donations, the friend for being outraged/buying cutlery or me for not seeing a problem with it and thinking that this friend is actually being horrible and rude.
