These relatives and friends bought the presents for you and I'm sure to offer them back could offend. Up to you at the end of the day, but you could always sell whatever you don't want to keep!

I agree that the offer should be made. Thank you notes would have to be sent anyway, so maybe a note saying that regrettably things haven't worked out and offering to return the gifts should be sent. I agree with woofgang that most people won't want them back, but they can't say they weren't given the opportunity.
Yes, with interest. You cannot expect me to believe that there were no warning signs even as late as the day before the wedding. What this couple have done is conned a lot of good folk into spending money they may not have been able to properly afford, to make plans and disrupt their lives to attend or celebrate a wedding in good faith, all the time knowing that the whole exercise was a sham. Never mind feeling sorry for the "unhappy" couple, they should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves and do all within their powers to make it up to the suckers they conned.
so glad you agree with me...as it was a sham!! in her own words the bride said she "had my dream, to have my father walk me down the aisle" and that was the whole reason for her having this elaborate "sham",she has also told us(her father and me) not to say anything about her marriage lasting only 5 days, she wanted to wait at least 6 months before she said anything to anyone, and has sice moved into her own apt and is "decorating" with all the wedding gifts and monies she received at the reception. I am totally appaled at her behavior!!being the so call "evil stepmother"; my feelings and attitude count for nothing. All I know is what is right and the honorable thing to do.
Thank you for you comment..
