[quote=Anonymous]I can't help but laugh right now. Out of disbelief. We had a no-cost wedding. All our friends and family were more than happy to help us with everything and all it was about was celebrating our marriage. Everybody knew we are going through a tough time and happily gave whatever they felt they could or wanted to to help us a little bit. Everybody did something and everything turned out great because of exactly that. Everybody was a part of it and everybody had a blast. We discussed for a long time if we even should have a wedding given the circumstances but everybody told us what I said before: why should you not be allowed to have a wedding? We are all here to help because we love you and want to celebrate your marriage with you guys.

I am SO glad I know THAT KIND of people and not the kind so common on DCUM...so unbelievably judgmental. Even insulting. Wow. And I do not generally give gifts out of sheer "Hm, let's see what could I give this person." Unless I know exactly what they need/want or it's a personal gift (aka something I make myself) I will always find out what the person actually wants or needs. That's how I was raised. That's how everyone around me was raised. That's how I feel it's right. It doesn't matter what's needed...I'll do what I can to give just that.

If there's a gift registry and you buy off that it's the same. You are giving something the couple wished for. It doesn't matter if the couple just has one wish (honey moon maybe, maybe they are saving to buy something really special, whatever cash could be needed for) or many small wishes (household stuff maybe, general items to start a married life together) in the end you give something they wish for. On many occasions money can do so much more than any material gift ever could and there is NOTHING wrong with that.[/quote]
