A girl friend recently got married. I bought her a beverage dispenser at her bridal registry. Couple months passed, she had a party in her home where I was invited as well. At the party she complained that she did not have a beverage dispenser when she wanted to serve iced tea. I had bought her one but I guess she returned it. I felt upset if she returned it because it is cheap movement returning a wedding gift and getting money for this. What do you think? I left the gift at the bridal registry shop after I paid for it because the shop was supposed to deliver all the gifts. After I bought he gist beverage dispenser was not available to be purchased by others anymore. I have not got any thank you note but I am sure she did not send any thank you notes since others have not received either.

So my cousin on my dad's side is getting married. He has a close female friend who he dated in high school (about 12 years ago), but as it turns out... she's gay. No big secret. Anyway she's really good friends with him and his now fiancée, she asked her if she wants to be a bridesmaid. She then told her that if it's okay she stands with him as she and him are very close. Of course neither of them minded. But why would she do this? I get that she likes girls but why would she want to stand with all guys and draw attention to herself over her sexuality? The bride kindly asked her to stand with her. Why turn down an offer to be an actual female? And it's called a groomsMAN - the title couldn't be more clear. SMH.

Going to a wedding today. I originally thought they were just asking for donations to their honeymoon fund, but found out they actually have a registry as well. I planned on just buying a gift after the wedding for them, but now my mom is saying I really need to get them a gift today...at least a check and card. What do I do? First time going to a wedding on my own btw.
