Coming from a tradition of Italians and Greek weddings/engagements, we saw this prepayment thing as a bit bizarre. When asked to bring a gift on top of the wedding gift, words like grifter and tightass were bantied about, but we put our heads together, went down to the Woolworths and got them a toaster. A cheap woolworths select toaster. Took it out of the box, wrapped it up and on it's way. Best $16.00 we ever spent. It had a blue LED on it.

Even after the wedding was called off and they split up, she decided to keep the gifts.

Funny thing was that when her and I had previously dated, I broke it off with her for being too possesive. I didn't know she was THAT possesive.

hahaha love your work.. no reason to get narky... just get em a cheap woolies toaster....
