ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Thomas and it's about weddings. Here's his email: Get the latest news, weather, sports and more delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I have a friend who is about to be married for his third time. The first two weddings were huge affairs, and I brought a gift that was appropriate to both of them. Now we're on number three. And once again, it's a big wedding. I'm willing to go but I don't want to have to give a gift. I think it's ridiculous to keep asking people for gifts if you're going to keep getting married.

Thanks.ThomasWell, I think if Thomas is going to go to the wedding, he has to br...
