 (Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Hello Carolyn: My first cousin, a professional athlete, is getting married. When he was drafted a few years ago, he received just under $1 million, now he is making about $600,000 per year. My family was just invited to his bride's wedding shower and to the wedding. These two have registered for everything under the sun, from a $6 spoon holder to a mirror that costs $3,500. I feel this is inappropriate for people who are so wealthy. I am of the opinion to not send any gifts at all and just a thank-you note for the invite, but my mother feels we are obligated to send gifts even though we will not be able to attend. Please let me know your take. It seems very rude for the couple to ask for presents when they are perfectly capable of buying anything they need. I feel it would have been much more classy to ask for a donation to a charity of our choice in lieu of gifts. — Annoyed Cousin |
