I'm honestly not sure why you're offended.

Yes, your situation was tough - but following etiquette isn't about doing what you want or creating your own reality. It's about doing things appropriately.

I never resorted to expletives to make my point. Is it necessary to use them to make yours?

Because in two years what possible gifts would I still need? We will have everything for our house and I HIGHLY doubt I'll be pregnant... what else would we need?

Ah, the virtual equivalent to covering your ears and shouting "blah blah blah!!!" Maybe it's good that you're waiting two years to be a "real" wife, so you can grow up a little.

Well, when my parents got married they eloped to Reno. When they got back their friends got them three house plants and two editions of Proust's "Remembrance of Things Past."

xiondono · March 2010

None of that sounds appealing, but whatever. I've reported the thread in the hopes that they will remove it from the boards completely. I've deleted the original post and cannot see the posts of people who have offended me. I'm leaving now.

Posted by xiondono[/QUOTE]

I get the impression that a 'real wedding' to you means lots of gifts. That is the only reason I can think of why you are even thinking about gifts 2 years in advance of your vow renewal.

banana468 · March 2010

The other issue is that your mother has already told you that what you wanted to do in terms of gifts is inappropriate.

Sometimes mothers can be incorrect but here she's right. Instead of arguing about it, go back to her and tell her that you're right.

You can still have that party or blessing or vow renewal - but it's not appropriate to ask people for anything at anytime. It's certainly not going to be appropriate to do so when you'll have been married for years.

I think she was referring to my post about elopement gifts, in which case she didn't block me, in which case... I probably should have tried harder.

xiondono · March 2010

bullshit. bull fucking s hit. you don't know all the planning that I've been doing. You don't know how many vendors I've called, dresses I've looked at or anything else. The fact that it's two years away is only in my favor because now I can fucking budget. This was the only issue that I needed help with outside of my friends and family. But apparently that was a poor choice because you don't understand the situation like they do.

I'm sick of you judgemental bitches. If I cuss more will the thread get deleted faster? I sure fucking hope so.

There's no point in you women continuing, you will obviously convince me of nothing.

It's a shame that I'm probably blocked because I was just about to start agreeing with her. She had really won me over with her superb logic. Damn it.

For the record even if you did not elope and it was your 'real' wedding, we would still tell you it is not appropriate to ask for cash.. It's just wrong.

DH and I were old when we married and owned a home. We did not need anything either. We still never asked for cash... People just gave it to us on their own.

This is subject that just does not need to be addressed. People will give what they give and there is nothing you can do about it, so why bother stressing over it.

Morfudd · March 2010

Well, cew, at least she's prepared you for the next set of vow renewal questions. You'll be much less judgmental next time.

OP: Yes, we got the fact that you are clearly unwilling to listen to etiquette on this, but we got that from the beginning when you were unwilling to listen to your mother. Doesn't she understand the situation?

xiondono · March 2010

Considering she was the only one to say that.. probably not. To quote her "I've never had to plan a wedding"

I don't think you should have tried harder. That was really rude for her to brush off your parents' wedding gifts.

OP, I advise you to stop posting and making an ass out of yourself. I think the likelihood of a thread getting deleted on this board is pretty low, so any more tantrums will be recorded here for internet posterity, forever.
