these western weddings can amuse. but after bridesmaiding twice in three months and having to give hugs and all that during complaints about wrong or repeated gifts, i have decided that the "money in lieu of a gift" thing can not be that bad after all.
my pal got married three weeks ago and had so many presents, i envied her, was sure she could furnish an entire mansion just going by her gifts. well it was quite a surprise to us when we met her for lunch a few days ago and she complained about her gifts.
before i get into that, what happened to the days when a honey moon lasted 6 months? hers was a week! is that normal surely?
anyway so this friend got 14 dinner sets and 3 vaccuum cleaners she is wondering what she will do about. two of the sets are identical, but what is she going to do with them? she already has plenty of crockery!
i once thought it was really mean to ask people to give money instead of a gift at any function but on my wedding if i ever have one, this is going to be the way to go. money in lieu of a gift. if i need 14 dinner sets, let me buy them myself.
this doesn't connect to the entry but, is it really possible to take 5 mins in the shower? and in so doing to pay attention to all relevant body parts? and,... it is lovely to have the courage to grow..... totally not the worst idea i have come across in a long time.

Well 5 mins for a shower is really possible but to process all those thoughts the whole while, well obviously Joshi boy has us for fools there!
Money in lieu of gifts? Now what happened to plain old tradition? Well I gess it's true then, of beauty, beholders and sight!
yeah, it's possible to spend 5 minutes in the shower. I do that all the time.I mean I don't know about women, but for men that's about the average we spend in the shower. We don't spend a lot of time on our hair.
Gift cards, eh?
