DEAR ABBY: My oldest daughter, “Alexa,” is breaking my heart. She’s engaged to a nice enough man she’s been with for five years, but she has cast aside every single wedding tradition that’s important to us.
Alexa won’t wear an engagement ring because diamonds are “ugly” and not politically correct. She has refused to have either an engagement party or a bridal shower.
Because they are forgoing a registry, my friends have no idea what to get them for wedding gifts. (Turns out, none of my friends are invited to the wedding — only their friends and family.)
