Dear Queenie,
My nephew is getting married again, for the third time.
Queenie, am I obliged to give him yet another wedding gift? Maybe I should wait a year or two to see if this marriage will last?—Enough is enough
Dear Enough,
A wedding gift is not an investment in the marriage, but an expression of good wishes on the couple’s happy day. If you do not attend the wedding, you are not obliged to send them a gift, but it would be generous of you to do so.
