To think no wedding list=no present

AIBU to think that if you do not provide a wedding list or include a request for cash as you have already set up home (as most couples these days) or even a dodgy poem then you are not expecting to be bought a gift or given a sum of money?

Friends who had been living together for years and had all the household stuff asked people to provide booze and food for the party. A list went round with different dishes for the buffet and different bottles of wine or champagne that could be bought. It was a fantastic day. To save money they had it in their house and set up a large pergola with tables and chairs in the back garden.
I wouldn't even think that you would turn up at a dinner party with nothing let alone a wedding.

YABU - If you're invited to a wedding you buy the bride and groom a gift.

I would never, ever go to a wedding without a present, daytime or evening do only, at the least a bottle of something nice. For a relative or close friend, something special or useful for future life. YABU
