Seen on wedding invitations, the couple are frankly demanding cash gifts. It is considered bad etiquette and a faux pas by most people, since it is rude to mention gifts in wedding invitations at all. |
Oh, this is all so disappointing.
While I do not know the groom, nor the bride's family, I have known the bride for 8 years and have always found her to be a delight. She has always been the epitome of giving and not of selfishness. I would never in a million years have expected this type of tackiness from her.
My husband and I have long joked that when she got married we were going, even if it were in Timbuktu. She was so kind to us when we got married and when we had our first child. In addition, she is of a very different culture than us, one which throws very elaborate and fun weddings... the likes of which are not seen in any traditional American wedding. I have only been to one, and my husband none. So we were looking foward to the hoopla!
Sigh. I will try not to let this one transgression in etiquette (though a HUGE one) taint my overall impression of her.
