DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been invited to a wedding in early October. The groom has owed my husband $425 for more than eight years. Requests for repayment have been ignored. He always has some excuse not to repay the loan.
Abby, if we attend the wedding, are we required to give a wedding gift? We feel we have given enough already. -- SHAFTED IN WISCONSIN
DEAR SHAFTED: If you attend the wedding, you should give them some kind of gift -- even if it's only a token.
