I went with the gift plan....told her she could do what she wanted with the money, but that was all there was if she was going to use it for a wedding. I avoided the cost creep fairly well that way and set precedent for the remainder of the clan.
Good plan! .... wish I'd done that, but my wife - read Mom+Daughter - overruled me!
... glad it was only ONE daughter!
Not sure if you also drove her to the venue in your 914 (in addition to the pic above), but I almost bought another Marathon Blue 73 914-2.0 in Fall 2011 - instead of continuing the rest of my old gal 73 914-2.0 that I've owned since 12/75 (2nd owner), so I could drive her from the hotel to the venue (on the same property), but it never worked out finding a nice one then.
Conratz!
