This thread reminds me of something that happened years ago. My oldest nephew was getting married and when I got the invitation I RSVP'd and drove with my older brother from Virginia to New Mexico for the wedding. I made them a wedding wall quilt with their names and the date. At the reception the bride and groom sat in chairs in the middle of the room and opened gifts. When they opened my gift, they said quite loudly..."we really wanted money". My brother was furious at their lack of manners and never gave them the check he had planned on giving them. Needless to say, there was never a thank you. The wall quilt probably went to a Goodwill or the trash when they were divorced six months later.
