[quote=Anonymous]Sounds fine to me, and ugh, this all reminds me of how awful weddings are as a bride. At our wedding - which we didn’t even want to have, but was insisted upon by our boomer parents - i remember asking my mother if we could request no gifts. That is because I would have preferred not to get a gift than to have to deal with the inevitable judgment heaped upon me by my parent’s friends about thank you notes (timing, length, content, penmanship, etc, etc). My mom’s friends are all former schoolteachers and nurses who were able to retire young and have just sat around for the last 25 years nitpicking and judging each others kids. Every interaction is like a social trap. Anyhow, I give presents because it makes me feel good to make people happy - it is not a freaking TEST! In fact, when I give my nieces and nephews presents I tell them part of the gift is that they are not to send us a thank you note. Just enjoy it (or give it away - I don’t care!)[/quote]
