[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]He (or more likely his wife) assumed you would ask your son what the Smiths gave the couple as a gift, so he was just trying to get out in front of it.[/quote]

I would have not asked. 
My point in explaining travel is that they didn't need to stay two days. They didn't need to uber because being at the hotel put everything in walkable distance. They chose the Airbnb. I get that some don't like hotels though. [/quote]

The Airbnb might have been less expensive than the hotel or offered a refrigerator, etc.

They might not have wanted to fight traffic.

[b]The op is really making a lot of assumptions and applying her own choices to justify her outrage. It speaks volumes about her. [/b]

Just say the quiet part out loud, op:

You think your friends should have driven 2+ hours to the wedding, then 2+ hours home, and given a nice gift rather than absorb the cost (never mind the hassle, traffic, time suck, etc.) to travel based on their personal preference or needs. [/quote]

the truth is, OP, that your friends most likely were not all that excited to attend the wedding. They did so to show they care about you but make no mistake, it was obligatory.[/quote]

Mmm they really like our son. 
And no, I’d never ask our son and his wife about gifts. 
The guys said it almost to justify. It cost us a lot of money to attend so we didn’t give a gift. Ok but why stay for two days then. And their Airbnb (as he told me DH) was hundreds more than the hotel. [/quote]

Did they need to travel with their kids, an elderly relative, or dog? Those are valid reasons to need an Airbnb. [/quote]

They don’t have any of these. They may have wanted to arrive Friday to go to the farmers market Saturday morning. [/quote]
