Okay does this strike anyone else as weird? My cousin was married in France in the summer of 2018 (we aren't French and have zero ties to France). It cost everyone an arm and a leg to go, but we have a very strong "you do for family ethos," maybe too strong, so nearly everyone in the family went. On the partner's side, only siblings and parents attended, others said it was just too expensive.
Well for gifts they asked for a "donation" to their honeymoon fund. Older family members protested, so they even posted on their website that they wanted no physical gifts, just honeymoon fund. They said the trip was going to be to the Greek isles.
Well its almost 3 years later and they never went! I heard through the grapevine that they spent the money and plan to go "someday."
Am I the only one who thinks it's odd that they asked for money for a trip they didn't have set plans to go on?
(Also you may be detecting salt in this post. Yes I am salty that I paid $4k to go to this wedding because stateside weddings are "too expensive." Didn't love the costs being foisted onto the guests)
