Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're waking up fifth in the morning. Kiss what I
was seven to one.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I was at a wedding where somebody had a blank
check in their bag and they said, I'm not filling
it out until I see what kind of wedding, this is,
what kind of food we're getting, what it's like the band,
and I just thought, Wow, that's really really awful.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
All right, First of all, thank you for the talk
back with Tiff. But when you search kiss on iHeart,
it's an alternative way to contribute and listen to my
show every day. You'll see the microphone next to the Playbney. Second,
you'll need the keyword wedding to win the Justin Timberlay
tickets coming up here, and a little bit. We're in
the midst of talking about wedding gifts, et cetera. Not
a first time or on this topic. However, I just
(00:41):
got back from the Dominican Republic last week actually one
week ago right now, and it just hit me on
my way home yesterday. I'm driving down seventy one and
I realized, oh my god, I I hadn't even thought
about getting the bride and groom a gift.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Just totally went over my head.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
And I feel like there are varying opinions that we're
gonna get on the show this morning. So to give
you some context, this wedding probably costs like three thousand
ish to get to the Dominican for five.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Nights, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
This is a person that I'm with, I'm close with
via work, so it's like a working relationship, and we've
known each other for a solid ten years. And I
think when him and his bride were looking to put
together their wedding guest list, they wanted people that were
a part of the growth of them as individuals and
as a couple. And I was honored and grateful that
(01:38):
I fit into that timeline. Now that where he's back
in Boston, I'm here. I don't number one, know what
is an appropriate amount of money to give someone for
a gift.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
It used to be a hundred I think that that has.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Gone away from just previous conversations that you and I
have had of morning and in the past about this.
And I also don't know what is the appropriate way
to give it to him, is like a Venmo message
and a note like appropriate if you fly somewhere for
someone's wedding and you spend a good amount of money
on just the trip in general to be a part
(02:18):
of that, and also, of course it's a vacation for.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Me, like what where are we? Where are we?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Where are a headsighte on this I want to hear
from brides and grooms. I want to hear from people
that have also traveled. I want to hear from someone
that has absolutely.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
No idea what to do. Anything and everything is acceptable
on this show.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
You should never rely on gifts to help pay for
your wedding. You should just plan your wedding based on
what you can afford, and whatever you get for gifts
is just gravy, period.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Thank you for that one too.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
That's another thing that I think used to happen with
weddings but doesn't.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Necessarily happen as much anymore. I don't know, I haven't
planned one.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
But in the past, you would go to the wedding
and the gift that you would give would go back
into the cup pocket to help pay for whatever celebrations happened.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Is that happening anymore.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Weddings are one of those traditional things that have become
so non traditional, and everyone's a little bit different. It
has a different opinion so let's continue the conversation. Five win,
three seven, four nine, one oh seven one to jump
in if you want to be heard on the radio
like you and I chit chatting, or you can always
use that talkback feature. And again we're a few minutes
out from the justin Timberlake tickets.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
You have a chance to win justin Timberlake tickets on
TIF in the morning and just a few minutes. You
will need the key word wedding or in the midst
of talking about wedding gifts in modern day, like in
the last couple of years, what are your stances on
them or what is your stance on them? I just
got back from a destination wedding a week ago.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
It totally slit my brain to get a gift.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I felt like a loser driving down seventy one South
being like, oh my god, I gave them nothing, and
up until this point had no plan to give them anything.
And now I'm like, yeah, like I should, I should
get them something. I just don't know what's the best
modality and like do how and where? In anyway, so
we're sourcing feedback from you this morning.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Good morning, I'm good, How are you well? It's good
to hear your voice. Thanks for colling.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Absolutely so, I was calling in regards to the wedding, saying,
not you that you're talking about on the radio right now?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, So Okay, my.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Personal opinion is, girl, if you are sending three thousand
dollars going on a wedding trip, I mean, they don't
need those presents. Maybe I'm just a jerk, no, but
I mean, like, especially when you're doing a vacation wedding
like that, and you know you already have to pack
all these things, you have to think about all these
other things that like I totally understand why you completely
(04:49):
forgot about the gifts.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Totally slip mind.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I mean really, you.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Know, you've got a bunch of other things going on.
So I feel like, you know, as a friend or whatever,
even though it's a work friend, like I would not
expecting anybody to bring me a present because I mean
the fact that like you're coming all this way and
you're buying it for yourself, like I'm paying for yourself,
Like that's a lot. I wouldn't even be said about
a present.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Okay, Well, thank you for your opinion. What's your name?

on gifts at weddings in current day.
Speaker 1 (05:31):

of years.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Yeah, yeah, no, so, I mean, honestly, like I appreciate them,
and I do love getting the money and things like that,
but like you know, if I didn't get one, I
didn't get one. You know, I wasn't keeping track of
who got me a present. He did and get me
a present because I was just so happy that everybody
even came to celebrate honestly, truthfully, Okay, So.
Speaker 3 (05:53):

wedding people of means, so we gazed them a very
good gifts, very expensive, and we never got a thank
you card or acknowledgement, so.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
That I'm glad you brought that up. I was curious
about thank you notes too. Are you still sending them out?
We talked about thank you notes last week and how
that is a dying Are so many, so many opinions,
so many places to go with this, however, for timing purposes,
I know you're chomping at the bit for these JT tickets.
If you want to go on November twentieth, and you
(06:44):

on wedding gifts these days? If I go to a
destination wedding in the Dominican Republic, what do I give?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
If I give anything?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
And there's been varying opinions on the show this morning,
and we didn't get to some of your talkbacks, so
I'll get to one right now.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
So we got married a couple months ago and out
of about one hundred, maybe thirty to one hundred and
forty guests, roughly thirty to forty people didn't give a
card at all, so you definitely cannot count on it.
Speaker 1 (08:14):

so much this morning.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
If you took a loss on the justin Timberlake tickets

around at Reparina during this tour, and it was quite
the experience and cinematic adventure. Set a reminder that I
will do this again tomorrow at eight thirty on.
