[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all must have lived very charmed lives to have so much time to obsess and get so bitter. I have been through so much death, illness, hospital visits and emergencies in the past few years. If I got invited to a wedding and the couple asked for money toward a honeymoon or whatever, you know what I'd do? I would follow their wishes. Life is so full of horrible events and tragedy. If this couple wants to enjoy a vacation and prefers that we help offset the cost rather than give them yet another crystal vase or fondue set, then of course I would follow their visits.

Gifts are about being generous and kind and not thinking of yourself. Don't try to punish someone or be passive aggressive with a gift. Nobody needs more negativity and bitterness in this world.[/quote]

Is there a standard DCUM response for this sort of comment  -- Think how lucky you are what about real problems if you had any decency at all you'd see things my way

Let's turn it around: What sort of person, not satisfied with finding someone to share the rest of their lives with,  also demands that their guests provide a more expensive kitchen or trip than some of those same guests will ever have?[/quote]

Sounds like you want to be pissy and angry about the ask regardless. Just decline and save them the problem of paying for you to attend. [/quote]

Some people hate weddings. [/quote]
