Should I send a wedding gift to my old high school sweetheart?
I know this probably sounds strange to some people and I dont have any malice in me about the situation but I was just wondering....
My high school sweetheart of 3 yrs is getting married this week and I was wondering if I should send them a gift through their registry online to be polite and let him know that I say Congrats? We never fought or had any bad feelings towards each other. We were each others first love and lovers and he is still the only guy ive ever loved. I havent talked to him in a couple of years but we always told each other how much we meant to each other. Im having a rough time knowing that he's getting married this week and I just dont want him to think that Im not happy for him. Of course I wasnt invited to the wedding. Would it be wrong to send a gift through their online registry and send a note that says something like "May you have a blessed marriage, Congrats!" Im not crazy, not a stalker, not trying to go to their wedding or anything like that, im not trying to be mean....I just honestly want him to know that Im happy for him and want to be polite since we always meant so much to each other...... Im seriously trying to be nice and just wanting to get peoples opinions. No need to be rude to me since Im not trying to be mean. Just give me honest answers, ok? Ladies, how many of you out there have that ONE guy that was your first love and you are a little bummed when you find out he's getting married but want to be nice and send a gift as a gesture of Good Luck? Thanks..... P.S. I dont know her, she doesnt know me. It wasnt like he dumped me for her or something like that. So there would be no reason for her to think I was trying to be mean or anything. I guess she might ask him who I was when the gift came in the mail and I guess he would say "an old friend" and that would be that. But atleast he would know that I cared and that I was happy for him and had thought of him.......right? His cousin that we were very close to in high school sent me a message on myspace and told me that he was getting married. Actually, 2 of his cousings did. Then I saw on a friends myspace page a picture of him at a friends wedding and it made me think about him. Powered by Yahoo Answers

No, it's a bad idea. You haven't talked to the guy in a couple years. Therefore, you have NO current relationship with him and there is no need to send a gift. In addition, you say you still care about him and acknowledge he is still in your mind. You still have feelings for him. So, it's a bad idea to send a gift. Also, what will the bride and groom's families think about his ex sending a wedding present. It just looks odd and it does make you look like a crazy stalker.
Lastly, put yourself in the bride's shoes. How would you feel if your soon-to-be-husband received a wedding gift from an ex-girlfriend he hasn't had contact with for years? It's just odd and creepy. Don't do it!! I'm sorry to break it to you. But, he probably hasn't thought about you in years. He's marrying a different girl and NOT you. You weren't his one true love, his bride is. Move on!

Don't be a yoyo! Leave it be! You may stir up some problems where they shouldn't be any. What a gift, I could just hear the bride after the reception saying to her husband "who's that yoyo beeotch and what does she want?"

You write: Of course I wasnt invited to the wedding.
If not invited to the wedding, please do NOT send a gift. Leave it alone. Send a congratulatory card, if you must send something. But truthfully, I think you should skip it. Let this rest. It is time for you to move on. No gift would be the best choice. Powered by Yahoo Answers

I wouldn't send anything. You said yourself that he hasn't spoken to you in years. It's not like he called you and told you he was getting married.
I'm curious as to how you found out he was getting married. Were you just typing his name into a registry search or something? You need to move on. There's someone special out there for you. : ) Powered by Yahoo Answers
