wedding gift statute of limitations

I went to a wedding in wales this past july and forgot to pack my wedding gift before I left the states. The groom is a huge star wars geek so I got him a cabernet from the Francis Ford Coppola vinyards, made from grapes grown on Skywalker Ranch. They only brewed a couple hundred bottles and it isn't online anymore, else I would include a link.

Anyway, I forgot it at home and now its like..six months later and I still haven't shipped it over. Is it too late or is it tacky to send it now? Plus I've been eyeing the bottle for the last six months and its looking reeeally tasty

I know there was an episode of Curb your Enthusiasm about this and they said it was about a year. I dunno if Larry David is a good source of social advice though. Then again, neither is the COR so who knows.

Thoughts? Comments? Prophecy?

will they think you are an asshole for not sending any wedding present?? YES

if he's still on talking terms with you and stuff, then I say open the bottle and drink the juice.

Plus, six months is a long time. Who knows they might even have filed for a divorce. You send them a "wedding gift" now and they will both be like

SEND THE BOTTLE!

Posted by Sunsnail on Dec-22-2006 22:55:

Yeah, send it. He'll probably chuckle and will appreciate it.

uh oh, I hope this thread doesn't unleash a torrent of "SEND TEH BOTTLE" responses

As far as speaking terms goes, he's an online friend that I'd never met in person before my trip this summer. Come to think of it, I haven't seen him online in a while. Maybe I got blocked

I think I got the address around here somewhere, no idea though..

drink it.

a good gift is a good gift, forever.

Also, I fully support the you drinking it idea.

send the gift. you have up until a year to send a gift. a couple has up to a year to send their thank yous.

i got a guest at my wedding who didnt send a gift. i wasnt that mad about the gift (i knew money was tight for him), i was more mad that he didnt even give a card. I went to their wedding and gave a card and a gift. i think he was more pissed off that my mom addressed the invitation to his name and his ex girlfriends name (not his wife's name). she wasnt very happy.

is the wine any good?

sounds like it's more of a novelty item than anything else ( the type of wine you would never drink if you were a hardcore fan and try to keep intact till your dying days ( just like keeping toys in their packages ) ).

I say drink it and send him the bottle refilled with another wine

buying wedding gifts can be a difficult thing to purchase! I usually just give money to help out with the wedding cost which can be a lil' extremly priced.

p.s. every TA wedding should have an open bar

Drink the wine, send pictures of you drinking it with an explanation.

Dunno which it is, but Coppola has some fairly good ones. It's not just a "Godfather wine. lol" company.

coppola makes very decent wine, im a fan
