wedding
I was really surprised at my sisters wedding just recently. I know that she did things on a budget and they did thank everyone for what they had contributed. They didn’t have any groomsmen gifts because there were no grooms men so they saved a lot of money that way. The best man was the grooms son and he was not given a gift as he did not really contribute very much to the ceremony apart from making a little speech which he was really too shy to do. Therefore they had no best man gifts either. The bridesmaids were a mixture of the bride and grooms children and friends and although they also had a verbal thank you there were no presents for them either. There were also no gifts for the mothers who both worked hard at helping out. I assume that thank you letters were sent, although I didn’t get one for my gift and so I felt that things were done quite oddly indeed. I suppose that I am used to weddings where the gift list is sent out well in advance and the thank you letters are often sent before the wedding because the bride and groom are off on honeymoon and do not have time to do them afterwards.

I love the fact that there are so many more trendy styles available in prescription glasses now. I always wondered whether, with the growing trend in eye correction surgery whether the demand for glasses would go down so much that there would be very little to choose from. However, it seems like the opposite has happened and there is now far more choice, which is fantastic. It means that people do not have to have nasty looking glasses or pick the best of a bad bunch. Obviously the designer range is expensive and cannot be afforded by everyone. However, it is good to have the choice and I have even seen brands such as Oakleys available which is nice. It means that you can have frames for sport or prescription sunglasses as well as normal lenses and there is a great choice out there for everyone. I guess the more designer frames are expensive and having more than one pair can be dear but there are people that can afford them and there are also now on line stores selling them for cheaper prices. This means that more people have a chance of getting a decent pair of glasses.
