Would you go?

Ok so old friend of mine is starting to make me mad. She was my best best friend in middle school and we kept moderately in touch since. Now she is getting married this weekend in our hometown, on Sunday evening. I was invited thru a Facebook event w/ 2 and a half weeks before the wedding. On the description of the event, it says where they are registered, (only one place and it's a website) which I know is bad but just figured they wanted ppl to know and didn't know not to include that in the invite. Then I kept reading and saw this doozy: "If you don't want to get us something from the website, we also accept cash or check as well"...uh WTF? THEN I got a facebook message 2 days ago "reminding" me where they are registered. I kinda feel like I'm only wanted there for the presents. Not to mention that I don't live in our hometown and was planning to be back and getting ready for work the next day by then. I don't want to miss her big day because I truly care about her but their attitude and lack of concern for their guests is really making me 2nd guess it. What would you do?

Truly it is up to you.  But... personally I would feel like another number to her.  By being pressured into buying a gift, she is making it seem like she would rather have your present show up on her big day, than you. 

But if you really want to support her you should go.  It all depends on whether you feel like your support outweighs her rudeness.

Ugh, sometimes the lack of etiquette from people REALLY drives me insane!

I would say if you don't feel comfortable going to the wedding, don't go.

I probably wouldn't. Sounds like more of a chore than you need, IMO.

I would probably go if you want to support her, but I don't think I would give cash or check. To be honest, I would probably just buy a small present since that's kind of a turn off the way they did it and wouldn't feel like putting a huge effort into it.

If you don't want to miss her big day then don't.  I wouldn't assume the worst. In all honestly, not every person knows about etiquette or cares.  If you don't care if you go or not, then don't go.  But, don't base your decision on this registry stuff.
