A wedding gift WWYD

[Gina-Gina-Bo-Bina]

Whaaaat? My original thought was to give them the luggage. You put alot of thought into getting something they need and went to the trouble to go shopping to get it. However, after reading how this bride is acting, I think I'd take the luggage back, pocket the money, and skip the wedding.

You have no idea how many times I have considered doing just that!!!

Why would your son stay married (let alone marry!) someone that treats his kid that way? She knows his threats to leave are BS hence why she keeps doing it. He should be ashamed of himself. His daughter will always remember that her dad stayed married to someone that treated her horribly.

This. She'll probably not have much of a relationship with her dad once she's flown the nest.

I spent the whole thread unable to get over the fact that the bride-to-be handed out her wedding invitations at the shower! Now THAT is TACKY!!!

It sounds to me like giving the luggage instead of cash is just going to be a minor blip on the horizon of Gina's relationship with her in-laws. I would give them the luggage and go with it- I think you are making the right decision! However... if you bought the luggage on a credit card, the store might be able to bring up the receipt, and then a gift receipt, if you have the credit card with you. We did that at Best Buy recently, but they needed to swipe the card and not just enter the CC number. We had no problem getting a gift receipt this way. Then you'd totally be off the hook!

LOL - me too!

OP - Give the luggage. It's a nice gift. (which you have written you intend to do.)
