Last month, I was visiting a friend in California. During this time, she was invited to the wedding of two gay friends, and since I was in the area at the time, I also was invited. I didn't know the two people getting married, but since I was also invited, I felt it appropriate to bring a gift.
This was the first time I attended a gay wedding and I'm not much up on the culture. Anyways, when we arrived, I placed my gift on the table with the other gifts. Nobody paid any notice, but later in the ceremony when it came time to acknowledge gifts, my gift made quite a stir. Apparently the two gentlemen getting married didn't appreciate the gift of two gerbils that I'd brought, and started going ballistic. Fortunately I didn't leave a tag on the gift, so nobody realized it was me.
Is this really that big of a deal?
