Come here to let it all out!

This is a XP from my BMB, so it might sound weird because they don't have the back story, but ya'll do, and I'm just C / P:

I'm flipping pissed right now.

DH & I are walking a wedding while in Miami in a couple of weeks. To make a super long story short, this clusterfuck of a wedding has been the biggest effing inconvenience of my life. Now invitations are arriving - three effing weeks before the wedding - and they had the fucking audacity to put on the invitations that they don't want gifts, only money. Are you fucking kidding me? Not only is that rude as shit, but me personally, I'm flying to Miami from the most damn expensive airport in the country, we're spending $500 on the attire you want us to wear, we have to spend THE ONLY WEEKEND we're in Miami doing wedding crap instead of with our families who haven't even met our son, and now you're asking me for money? Fuck you. You're not getting a cent from me.

And it felt good to get that out and be able to curse the whole time.

Sounds like you being there should be their gift. You could always shove some monopoly money in an unsigned card...

mrscatfarmer13 - Ha! My presence better be gift enough, because that's all they're getting. What's worse, these people are family. It's DH's cousin (male). They've been together since before I met DH, and I've been with DH for almost 11 years. They were in our wedding (but I'm pretty anti - wedding so if they spent $300 total between the two of them for our wedding that's a ton), and they're DS godparents. I love them. I really do. But this wedding has turned them into complete idiots.

Oh wow. I wouldn't give a gift. I think that's totally acceptable since you're coming from out of town. People don't realize how much it costs for guests to come to a wedding...
