Aibu to not buy a wedding present ?

Brownieb · 2018-10-02 12:22:13

We are going to a wedding abroad next year (won’t post too many details as outing) and it has been hinted we are expected to buy a ‘naice’ wedding present - I feel that we shouldn’t have to. Mainly I think this because the couple have chosen to go abroad, they have chosen a very expensive time of the year, we have a young child and the destination will be too hot for them to go outside in the day for any length of time, we don’t want to go to this country for our holiday anyway because it’s just somewhere you lay by the pool. Now we can’t afford a holiday of our own because of this wedding (over £1000 just for flights and accommodation, that’s after find our own cheaper option), we have no annual leave left after this (two week!) wedding either. The couple haven’t paid for anything for their own wedding and then got angry we didn’t want to pay to stay on their resort as they wanted the ‘free gifts’ available if you get enough guests..... rant over .... deep breath....
