Seriously? Are people going crazy?!?! (bit long)

lynxbbgirl · August 2012

When I was 16, I worked with a lady we will name Suzy (made up), she was married at the time but a few years ago she and her hubby got divorced. She started dating the guy who was her first boyfriend when they were younger. They got engaged probably around Sept last year. OKkkkkk so,

1) She took back the ring he got her and ordered a custom one instead.

2) I hadn't seen her for a couple of years and at my bridal shower she made an a$$ out of herself in front of everyone saying "OH I know this girl better than anyone" when it was a game answering questions about me, she lost, horribly.

3) As of yesterday they have now set the wedding date: Oct 12, 2013. Today on facebook she post: Facebook Poll Time: What do you do when you would rather have money and gift cards in lieu of actually gifts? Is is tacky, is it easier, and how would you ask that without sounding like an ass?.....

ARE YOU SERIOUS??? You took a year to set your date and the following day you are asking about money as a gift?!?!? REALLY? So I ask if she is talking about the wedding, of course she is. So I reply:

hmmm in that case, you can't come straight out and ask for money and gift cards, it is considered to be rude. You guys need to register somewhere, but anything you read says when you register it is fine to register for gift cards. I know some ladies on theknot when I was planning had lived with their now hubby and they registered for things they wanted to improve. But don't ask for money, gift cards, or for people to put money towards a honeymoon....

Another post: And right now, you guys are so far out, I wouldn't even be thinking about this yet, you have to register no more than 6 months before the wedding.

It should be interesting to see what she says. Oh yeah, and she came to our wedding, and we didn't get anything from her (she always does that... when I graduated high school she came and ate all the food and no gift then either...) Is it bad I'm hoping we don't get invited to the wedding?

Um, that's definately not something that should be asked over facebook! Totally awkward. I know people have different opinions on registering for gift cards or honeymoon registries - but she shouldn't have came out saying that! Good luck with that one, if you're invited.

If you are, I say if she doesn't register for anything - buy her something silly - like a toaster.

agreed.

You can always get her something useful but out of the ordinary. Like a ring dish/ stand.
