Dear Shree, I got married a year ago to my now-husband. We decided to have a simple registry. We sent out a last minute email to our very large group of good friends saying that we were getting hitched but we were having a reception that night. The whole thing was informal (just like we wanted it) and all our friends came and we all had a great time. The problem is, only two of our friends got us wedding gifts. I don’t care about the gifts/material objects, but I feel bad that only two of our friends got us a gift. We have a very large group of friends who we socialize with on a weekly basis. Other than this, our friends are wonderful people, always there for us and I honestly couldn’t ask for better friends. Maybe it’s because we didn’t have a traditional social wedding? Ours was very thrown together last minute, however everyone was happy and able to make it. Should I feel hurt that no one thought to give us a gift? It sort of makes me feel like they don’t take our marriage seriously.
