I do.

I was stating what I heard Dr. Laura say.

The money was very much appreciated, as were the presents. But at many weddings these days the groom is basically a prop, nobody calls it “his special day” after all.

Not really. The future husband does it because his sweetie-pie wants it.

Realistically, the money is better spent on other more important things like a down payment on a house, etc. Kitchen utensils are nice too. Gifts should be very practical.

Another way to look at it — why bankrupt a the couple before they are even married.

Lastly, keep in mind that that both husband and wife will end up paying for that $20,000 engagement ring even though it is for the fiancé.

Unless hubby is rich, that massive debt will carry over and into the marriage and will probably be the cause of a few arguments. Financial stress is one of the major reasons for divorce.

Haven’t met too many guys who planned their wedding from the age of 6. It’s mainly a girly thing.

No, we don’t.
I found all that to be a big pain and I didn’t enjoy it at all.

I didn’t even feel right accepting gift cards at the wedding itself. I wold have been happy just for everyone to come and have a good time.
