21. Wasn't the expectation in the past

that young newly weds starting out got wedding gifts TO START OUT? You know, the toaster and coffee maker and dishes and punch bowl that never gets used? That's how mine was.

So lemme reframe your post:

Shouldn't the gift be enough (if it's a first wedding for a young couple)? Otherwise, hang 'em both, the gifting and the going.

(My father in law recently got remarried. The man is in his mid-50s. That type does NOT get a wedding gift. YEesh.)
