Woman Drops Out of Family Wedding and Instead Considers Giving $600, but Many Argue the Sum Is Too Much: 'That's Nuts'
A Mumsnet user has to back out of her relative's upcoming wedding because her child has a doctor's appointment She and her husband are considering paying the couple over $600 as a wedding gift Users felt the amount was far too much and suggested lower pricesA woman wants to give her relative a financial gift for a wedding she's no longer attending, but people fear that she is being overly generous. In a post on the popular U.K. forum Mumsnet, the woman detailed how a relative of hers is getting married 200 miles away on a weekday in a couple of weeks. She and her family planned to attend, but those plans have now changed. is now available in the Apple App Store! Download it now for the most binge-worthy celeb content, exclusive video clips, astrology updates and more! 'We had taken annual leave to be there and booked a hotel for the night before. Unfortunately we can no longer make it,' she explained, adding that her 2-year-old child now has a doctor's appointment on that date. The woman learned from her mother that the plates for the wedding cost $169 per person; now she's concerned that she needs to pay for her child's absence as well. She and her husband discussed giving over $600 and wanted feedback on whether this amount would be 'reasonable and would cover the cost of our absence and a good amount surplus as a gift?' 'We are not especially close to the relative and might see them once a year at a family event and I will usually send a a new year's/birthday message (and the relative will reply but never initiate),' the poster added. 'However we are very closely related (not parents or siblings but aunt/uncle/first cousin degree relations).' Users on the forum felt the generosity of the gift was far too much. 'That is an insanely large amount,' a commentator said. 'Wedding gifts are not based on how much the couple are paying for their wedding. That's an incredibly crass and unpleasant way to decide how much you are giving as a gift. You don't have to change how much your gift is because you are no longer going.'

Some offered that a gift of $60 or more would be more appropriate. 'That's nuts,' one person said. 'They've probably got someone else who can fill your place.' Read the original article on People

NEWS OF THE WEEK: Court rejects Ed Sheeran Thinking Out Loud copyright case
A minority owner of a Marvin Gaye song has tried tirelessly to sue Sheeran over the alleged similarities between Sheeran's hit and Let's Get It On, but the High Court has refused to accept the lawsuit. "No reasonable jury could find that the two songs, taken as a whole, are substantially similar in light of their dissimilar melodies and lyrics," the judge declared, as reported by USA Today. Back in November, the High Court found that Sheeran did not infringe on Gaye's copyright, citing that the songs share only the "fundamental musical building blocks".

If You Wear This Jean-and-Flat-Shoe Combination While Traveling, I'll Know You Have Cool Style.
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Traveling can be stressful or easy—depending on who you ask. Between packing lists and last-minute errands, just making it to the airport on time can feel like a feat. During a recent trip from Paris to London via the Eurostar train, Miley Cyrus stepped out in an effortlessly cool outfit that I haven't stopped thinking about. It was understated but spoke volumes about her travel style. In my opinion, the combo of relaxed, cuffed jeans and black Margiela Tabi flats (every fashion person's favorite quirky shoe style) made for the perfect travel look. Cyrus's green trench coat was a smart layering choice for London's rainy, cool weather, and her Maison Margiela handbag added a touch of elegance. When I'm on the move, I usually default to a sweatsuit, but I've been trying to move away from that travel uniform, especially if I need to be somewhere right after landing. I think a lot of us are over the sweatsuit phase, and this outfit is a chic, fuss-free alternative. If you're searching for a stylish travel look, keep scrolling.
