Do wedding gifts even make sense these days? People are getting married much older, and who doesn't already have what they need when they get married nowadays?
I could see how it made sense in the old days, when people got married at 20, had nothing, and all the guests were older than them. I could see how gifts were appropriate.
But nowadays, not so much. For example, we've been invited to a wedding where the bride and groom have way more than we do. A home, three cars, pets, HDTV, you name it. But yet they still have a registry. What could they possibly need that they don't already have? And why are people who have less, like me, expected to get them stuff I wouldn't even get myself? (ie, the stuff in their registry)
