Our wedding came and went and we had a great time. We're happily married. Woo hoo!
We do have a small situation though: there's about a handful of people we have not received gifts from. I was a little surprised because half of these people had a very specific conversation with us about wedding gifts and/or what we want but I realize people do not have to give us gifts and I realize they might give us gifts later. That's fine.
However, I talked to our DOC and she said someone handed her a gift after the dinner service and she gave it to my mom. (The card box had been taken away by then.) My mom says she doesn't remember anything but so much was going on that day. She said if anything, she would have given it to my aunt. My aunt says she doesn't have anything from that time period and she's checked her suitcases and purse. Out of those who haven't given a gift, only one person matches my DOC's description. But its entirely possible this gift was already added to the pile and it wasn't one of the handful of people left at all. Or that our DOC handed it to the wrong person who kept our gift.
The one person we think it is, is a good friend of mine whom I don't think would not give a gift. (She's had very strong opinions on that topic with other weddings in the past.) But its possible she got busy and forgot too. She also doesn't easily offend. Should we just send a thank you card and not mention the gift and see if she does? Should I say something to her about how we think her gift is lost and if its a check, she should cancel it? It's also entirely possible she hasn't given us one yet and I don't want to call her out. Or do we just accept that it's lost forever and assume she never gave us a gift? My parents and husband think either talk to her because we're close enough or just forever assume she didn't give us a gift. I hate the mystery but maybe I should just give up on solving this one?
