re: Serious Question: Wedding Gifts After Spending So Much Money to Attend?

Yeah I'm shocked how many downvotes I'm getting. Money doesn't grow on trees and if I'm spending near 1000 dollars between hotel, plane tickets, dry cleaning, etc. it just feels like getting a gift on top of it is overkill.

Clearly a lot of y'all don't feel that way.

I down voted you because you can't figure this out. First, family or friends aside, they're assholes. They chose to be married at some remote location. These people only care about themselves. Second, they are not holding a gun to your head to go. That is definitely your call. I wouldn't go unless I was pre-planning a vacation there already and even then I don't want a wedding involved in my vacation plans. Anyone planning a get-away wedding should understand that no one may show up. That's on them...not you. Otherwise, they can pay their attendee's entire expenses.
