A gift two years later from a non-invited person
I was just given a wedding gift from someone who I went to college with (my wedding was almost two years ago). She was not a very close friend in school, and its been about 6 years since I've seen her. She lives in another country. I did not invite her to the wedding because we had really not been in touch for some time, and when we were, it was only through email, and she lives in Asia so I pretty much assumed she wouldn't come.
Well, fast forward to almost two years since my wedding. She is in town and I had dinner with her and another college friend last night. She comes with a gift (an expensive one too) and makes a comment, something to the effect- that it was too bad that she didn't come to my wedding.
Would you take that as a dig for not sending the invitation or would you assume that it is a genuine expression of regret for not coming to someone's wedding? I didn't know what to say or how to respond to that. Should I feel guilty for not inviting her two years ago!?
