Interesting. So if a couple decides to make a ritzy expensive affair, the guests get stuck paying for it. That sucks. Also lousy that folks, like yourself, would lean toward not attending to avoid having to give such a large gift. The point should be to celebrate together, not suck your guests dry. I can't say I care much for that custom.
