Wedding gifts and confusion
I'm totally confused about what to buy whom, in the following situation.
Aimee and Jason (henceforth, "Stinky", for disambiguation reasons are <i>already</i> married. Have been for ten years or so)
Aimee has a boyfriend Jason (henceforth "Rupert")
Jason has a girlfriend Lisa
Aimee and Stinky have asked Lisa and Rupert to marry them, whatever that might mean. So it's a four-way polyamorous marriage, except that Stinky and Rupert aren't hitting it, and Lisa hasn't yet, as far as I know, gotten drunk enough to hit it with Aimee. (Rupert and Lisa occasionally hit it.)
So, what the hell do I bring as a wedding gift? <i>Other</i> than a scorecard or racing form.
And does this remind anyone else of one of those logic puzzles you liked to do in fourth grade?

If you were looking for some help with "The Sims," well, you managed to be the first guy to ask such a question and not come off as a flaming serving of fruit enflambe yourself.bruce wrote:So it's a four-way polyamorous marriage, except that Stinky and Rupert aren't hitting it, and Lisa hasn't yet, as far as I know, gotten drunk enough to hit it with Aimee.

I have been to a few weddings. Here's what I have given:
Chris & Carolina Bunky: Chris got Civ II for the Mac, Bunky got You Don't Know Jack
Captain Kick-Ass & Wife: Chipped in on a gift with three other guys. Can't remember what said gift was.
Jethro Q. Walrustitty & Little School Girl: CA$H
Brian "Yehoweh Porn" Gramling & Anna ... er, can't remember her maiden name: CA$H
Milker & Wife: Couldn't attend the wedding. Will be CA$H, once I see him again
Danzaland and Marilu Henner: Dunno, probably CA$H
So I dunno, Bruce. Maybe cash, I guess. Perhaps the intoxication of a well-cut cheque can provide a fair bit of solace over the fact that the four of them are going to one day be playing doubles tennis in a sick, amoral version of HELL.
