Dear LFTP: the wedding-gift cash and the missing thank-you
- Tell me, was I wrong? (wedding-gift cash and the missing thank-you note)
Mike reads a Dear LFTP letter from a woman who gave $300 cash at a destination wedding by handing the envelope to a bartender, then asked her friend six months later whether the couple received it, and wonders if she was wrong to ask. The hosts agree the question itself was reasonable given the odd circumstances but note it may have read as criticism about the missing thank-you note; Mike says he would have let it go, and the Secular answer agrees she wasn't wrong.
