One more wedding rant then I'll stop for a bit...
Even not going to the wedding adds up... A few months back I was sitting on a bridal shower invitation (for a person I had to ask around to find out who they were) and not one but two wedding invites from people I worked with another lifetime ago. I have no intention of going to these weddings because these people really weren't friends, but ettiquette says that it's proper to send a gift... So I was on the hook for two gifts - I should have sent a shower gift but ---oops I forgot.
You reach a certain age, ( I always thoguht my mother was making this up) and you become a professional guest... You get invited places because people know you won't show up but also know that you will send a gift.. best of all worlds.
