In response to the post below.
DH and I got married in college. We got married in his home state and went to college 31 hours away on the east coast, when we got married we asked that it be money or gift cards because there was no way we could bring stuff back to our new home in our little mercury sable. People still bought gifts, but they weren't big gifts. No one complained or called us tacky, or maybe they did...dun-dun-DUUUUNNNN. O.o
