(It is quite hilarious.) The letter writer did fill the basket with other items; the candy and fluff was a fun addition. Also, the LW indicates that only a few weeks before, the bridezillas dined in his restaurant without any kind of gluten restriction. Personally, I think it was a very creative, thoughtful gift, though as an anniversary present, I would send a book on etiquette.<br /><br />And I'm still laughing at monogrammed douche bags.Jonaessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02391716529404039791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-77419681630418482292013-07-09T12:01:51.378-05:002013-07-09T12:01:51.378-05:00Why do people keep pointing this out?

How are people missing that? Stop being so defensive about it. It's the people who keep pointing out that they were lesbians the ones that give us all a bad rap. It could have been a double wedding that lead to 2 brides being involved. The only thing that points out they were lesbians was the tiny sentence saying 2 woman from Canada were married, and all the idiotic comments !!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04440078233588561629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-18259023780931332782013-07-09T11:45:46.656-05:002013-07-09T11:45:46.656-05:00I don't think they were asking.g, it was proba...I don't think they were asking.g, it was probably more of a suggestion.

Regardless of what the couple thinks about the gift (which I think is perfectly acceptable), it is incredibly rude to say anything but "thank you." The gift giver is right that if they throw a wedding/party they should be able to afford it and not expect the guests to cover the cost.

I thought she was insane. She invited me to not only attend, but be in the wedding party. The dress was bloody expensive (mine, not hers, though I'm sure hers was too). I couldn't really afford to buy the dress and shoes she wanted me to wear, but it was for her special days so I managed it. For a gift, all I could give her was a small espresso maker. I'd have loved to give her something more, but I was in college and had almost no money. And you know what she said to me after that lame gift?!? Thank you. That's right. Thank you. I've never seen it in her home since then, mind, so I'm guessing it wasn't one of her fav gifts. But she thanked me for it.

I'm pretty sure if it was a straight bride who did this, Jen would say she was twaty.<br /><br />Jen never refers to them as lesbians nor makes jabs about their orientation. The title is 2 bridezillas. You have no way of knowing from that title that they are married to each other-it could be a story about 2 different brides. She refers to them in the story as women, brides, girls with vaginas, and idiots. Sexual orientation never comes into the story, save the 2nd paragraph when Jen gives background on the story (2 women got married in Canada).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02276871156256334412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-51871144385205527542013-06-25T08:28:44.449-05:002013-06-25T08:28:44.449-05:00I agree.

I think this was a good idea, but I don't know if the candy assortment was the right route (unless you are 100% certain they both love those items). So many couples are getting married later in life and in many cases already live together. I try to buy gifts to reflect that-a nice frame for the wedding photo, things like that. <br /><br />Regardless of the gift, though, the brides' reaction was terrible and those women should be ashamed. If you wanted money to start out your marriage and were hoping to get it from your guests, then maybe you should have gone to the JP and saved the $34,000 or whatever it was they spent.

Shouldn't have bought tickets to Jamaica if you couldn't afford to go when you bought them. <br /><br />I like the idea behind the gift, but think the items they chose were kind of lame. Jolly Ranchers, fluff, etc. Although, for these ungrateful brides, I think any choice would have ticked them off, as they were expecting a $200+ cash gift.
