H's mom asked (forced) me to invite her cousin from Canada, who she doesn't see all that much to the wedding. I knew that since we had received some no's that this was going to be ok. She told the cousin that I didn't have his address and thats why the invite was so late (whatever, I went along with it to make her happy)
Well he asked to bring his (adult) daughter...so he didn't have to drive alone...fine, whatever.
Well neither of them brought us a card or anything whatsoever for the wedding, which I accepted and moved on from after being a little irritated...Well yesterday my Mom stopped by our house and brought us a small box from MIL's cousin!
It was a couple of kitchen knives, made in Canada, I guess I can always use another knife...but one of them had our names and wedding date engraved onto it, which I thought was really cool....
...and now I'm feeling silly for being irritated about him coming to the wedding, with an extra adult guest and nothing (not even a card) for us.

Re: Late gift...
I was actually talking to MIL last night and she asked if we had received anything from two other people (1 person who was at the wedding and 1 who wasn't able to make it)
So far we haven't seen anything from them, but maybe we'll get some more surprises in the mail!
