Any couple’s first marriage is the most significant time in their lives, and they spend a great deal of time planning to make it ideal. During their marriage, their families make an attempt to help them fulfill their wish list by giving them presents, but they all get discouraged if they separate soon after. The second shocker occurs when they get remarried to the same person and decide to plan a second wedding ceremony with a fresh wish list for presents.
OP told a similar story about his sister, who married her high school love two years ago after an eight-year relationship. OP gave them a very expensive couch for $7600 because it was on their wish list of gifts from close family members. The gift astounded OP’s sister, who described it as the best present she had ever received. But their marriage terminated after half a year, and the OP had no idea what happened. After a year apart, they reunited and decided to remarry at the same big church wedding with the same person. They created another wish list for the new ceremony, which OP felt was unreasonable because he had already given her the most expensive one, yet he offered her a $100 gift card for the remarriage. OP’s sister was offended by his decision and refused to invite him to the marriage ceremony.

5. Redditor supports OP for not giving another gift as his sister was marrying for the second time and with the same person.
6. Yes, it would be the best gift!

8. Redditor advises OP to give a gift of pillows this time and save the blanket for the third time.
9. Redditor believes that OP’s sister is lucky to get $100 for marrying the same person after getting an expensive couch for her first wedding.
10. According to Redditor, people generally do not get gifts in their second marriage, but OP’s sister wanted to get them again forcefully.
11. Redditors forbade guests to bring gifts on their second marriage, but some gave cash, which was acceptable for them.
12. Redditor has a valid point.
13. Indeed! She showed greed by making a list to cover with gifts from family members.
14. Yes, she was marrying the same person and had to live with old things gifted for her first marriage.
15. Redditor criticizes OP’s sister for being unreasonable.
16. Redditor praised OP for being so generous at his sister’s first wedding.
17. Yes, if marriage and divorce are not a serious matter for them, their remarriage ceremony would not valued by relatives.
18. Redditor advises OP not to attend the wedding and says there is no need to spend money on a gift card.

OP should not offer anything to the person who may end it again, because his sister did not appear mature enough to stay in the marriage for an extended period. Their behavior demonstrated their immaturity: they intended to remarry with the same large ceremony and wanted to receive the same presents as previously. OP has already given her a lifetime gift by spending a substantial sum of money, thus regardless of how many times they remarry, they should be grateful to OP for the gift.
