Miss Manners is not aware of the need for a 'You’re Still Married' present.
DEAR MISS MANNERS: We have been friends with a couple for about 30 years. We have watched their children grow to be lovely young ladies, as they have watched ours grow to be adults. We are close with the couple but not so much with their children.
Fast-forward to the present day: We are invited to a celebration of their wedding. My question is, do we give another gift? That said, perhaps you are so fond of the parents, and have such pleasant memories of the daughter as a child, that you want to do something extra. While there is no need to give a present, there is no ban against doing so.Dear Abby: I will no longer spend time with my lying, manipulating brother-in-law and sister-in-law
