You get a vase, and you get a vase, and you get a vase :) (46 yrs ago at my 1st wedding, I still have a couple of them. The X got the china his mother gave us)
This is why I leave gift selection to my wife – she is good at it. Me, I can never figure out a good gift for someone who already has anything. My older daughters wedding gift from me was an expense paid wedding and honeymoon. Figured that would be appreciated.
Fun day. I drove my wife to a town 2 hours away so she could catch the bus to Toronto and from there the train to visit our grandson and help out my daughter and son-in-law for a while. We do get one bus a day through our town but it does not get to Toronto in time to catch the last train of the day. Turns out the bus was a half hour late but so was the train so everything worked out.
I hope everyone had a more relaxing day than I did.

Only one thing. Money changes hands.

As people are marrying later, generally after cohabiting for some time, they already have “things for the home”. Still, cash gifts are crass.

In some ways, I long for the simpler days of the past. Sure seems like we’re over-technolgy-ing ourselves more and more …
HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, “Cathy” Clan.

I’m with Mom on this one…the quest for money is so unbecoming. (I usually give money, and a gift but I like it to be my choice.).
