Hi,
I've got a good friend who just got married (civil service only) and I couldn't attend because it was last-minute. She's also having a bigger, religious wedding in Ecuador in 2 years and she wants me to be in the bridal party. I'm hoping I can be there, but it will be at least $1000 for a plane ticket, $100 for a new passport, plus a dress and any vaccines I need. What do I do about wedding gifts? Should I get her one for her official marriage that just happened AND the destination wedding? I feel like me traveling to Ecuador is a big enough gift for the 2nd wedding, but if I don't end up being able to go, maybe I should get her one gift now. What are your thoughts? Thanks!
