Here's the scenario.....

Samantha is flying up to Canada for a friend's wedding. Plane ticket ran about $700. That is the sole purpose she's going. She wouldnt be going if the wedding wasn't happening. This is one of her good friends from back home who she was pretty tight with before she moved down here. She asked me the other day if she needed to give a gift too (aka cash). She said, I am already dropping 7 hundy on a plane ticket. I told her I'd ask the group and see what shakes out. What do you guys think?

I think most of you know that it wasnt that long ago that she didn't have a job so we are still feeling the effects of that. $700 isn't small potatoes. We just wanna make sure we do the right thing here. Are there arguments for both sides or is the only right thing to do is to pony up an envelope with cash?

I did not read any replies so I have my initial reaction without reading other's opinions. Will be interesting to see everyone's opinion.

If you have $700 for the plane ticket then you have room to give $50 or $100 for a gift. I think it would be a little tacky not to give a gift. Remember we are dealing with women here. If she does not give a gift then this could be messy or someone could get their feelings hurt.

Hell no, you dont give a gift. If her presence there and spending $700 isnt enough for her 'friend' then shes an asshole. And marine..your wife is FUCKED
