Can you provide a link, son, or is this 'fact' pulled out of your ass?
This was an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond.

son it was from People magazine last month. I was reading it at the liquor store.

LMAO son

it was one of those magazines people or not. anyways, why would the website post every single article from the magazine? u lose
Thank you notes are such a relic of useless formality. Why get all hurt by someone who's just putting a couple of meaningless sentences on a card and mailing it to you? There's so much else to get bent out of shape about.
You have my sympathy.
I would recommend going on a small honeymoon- if only for a few days.
You can always go on a bigger, fancier, more expensive trip later on in life.
But there is something special about going on that first trip together right after your wedding.
You two will enjoy whatever you do, because you love enjoy other and will be happy to be away together.
My husband and I just went 5 hours away to the beach for two days but had a really nice time.
We went on a inexpensive sunset pirate themed cruise, walked around Port Isabel taking goofy pictures, and adopted a dog from the local humane society.
It was not an expensive/ fancy trip at all but I will remember always the great time I had.
If I had it all to do over again, I would do it the exact same way.
You have the right view of things- it is the marriage that matters. I hope this wedding is an amazing time for you. I am sure it will be.
honeymoons are old fashioned.. they were for the old days when women were still virgins... very rarely are they like that anymore. its just a vacation... i've been to bachelor parties.. , the brides are so bent out of shape that i have a better time just going out without a wedding party during the workweek!
unless, you're a , don't even let all this get to you.
thank you notes. It's the dumbest concept ever. You shouldn't have to write a in paragraph long note when all you really need to say is, "Thanks for the ______".
you know when you goto the ceremony function and take wedding photos with the new couple or any fkn moron there, at leasts they should deliver you the developed photos when done...
im still waiting for at leasts 2 different wedding photos i attended....still no fkn word.
People can be so self centered.
The proper thing to do in a situation like that, if they're going to dictate where you have to sleep, is to pay for the room for you. My husband's sister did the same thing when she got married. She told us she took care of the hotel reservations, then we showed up and it was an expensive hotel that we had to pay for. Totally threw off our budget the rest of the trip.
You just keep changing your story, son. LMAO right back at you.
If it's in the magazine, it'll be on the web site. The fact that you can't find ANY such story ANYWHERE on the web means that you've been exposed again.
And BTW, People Magazine doesn't commission studies, it conducts reader polls of dipsomaniac housewives.
Actually, in my experience, the richer the bride, the less chance I have had of getting acknowledgement. The people who register for really expensive stuff have been less likely to send a thank you note than the people who register at Target.
This makes sense, they types of people who register at Target are happy to be getting something. Someone who registers at Nordstroms is likely to think "eh, if I don't get it I will just buy it." - Unless they are one of those stupid poor people with poor friends who registers at some rich place because they are too self-centered.
Oh, BTW, you better believe that I will be sending a BIG thank you note to whoever gives me the beertender (the only thing I cared about registering for).
LMAO son ... whatever you say. if anything it exposes that you were so concerned about it because you know the truth. you would be one of those cheapskate, ungrateful bas s lol.
i never get people for their weddings, i write like Big D. Blower and Mi Burrito Esmegmasito in the guest book, then i get wasted and throw chairs at little girls at the reception and destroy the venue through violent destruction until i get threatened with murder by the families and the limo leaves me.

Just don't buy gifts. Get a big to/from sticker and put your name on it...then go to the reception, pick out a gift on the table that is wrapped real nice and slap your sticker over theirs. Then if you don't get a thank you note it's no big deal.
That's probably is what's happening to Ploto's gift.
