Dear Queenie,
My daughter is getting married to a man who is much better-off than we are. They have been living together for a couple of years and already have pretty much everything they need.
We want to give them a nice wedding gift, but we can’t afford anything expensive.
Any suggestions, Queenie?—Perplexed
Dear Perplexed,
A gift does not have to be expensive to be meaningful. Do you have a family heirloom or photograph(s) that you could give them? Or perhaps a (not-too-expensive) bottle of wine and set of engraved wine glasses? Along with a letter telling your daughter how much she means to you and how happy you are that she is marrying such a wonderful man.
