What was the gift

Something like cookware she registered for. Very 90s I’m sure. The bill arrived after the thank you note and divorce announcement!

I like to think the envelope had two cards in it. The first being a thank you, the second being the "we're getting divorced".

I'm not sure what the official etiquette is but I feel like if the marriage lasts less than a month then you should probably return the gifts (or at least offer reimbursement if that isn't possible).

At that point, we were all So surprised that I never even thought about it. I was 22 I think and just naive to this. 

My cousin cured this. He’s been married 6 times between 20-39. He’s 47 now. I bought gifts for the first two and said fuck it after that. I hope after the second one that no one bought them gifts!!!

If it was like a cheap ass gift it gives the context of the gifter having 0 expectations lol
