Help me with this wedding!

Okay, I need some help here, maybe someone can offer some advice--

I got a call today from my girlfriend from highschool who's apparently getting married on Saturday. She had been trying to contact me for quite some time but didn't know where I was living. After calling around, she was able to get ahold of my mother and get my phone number.

Anyhow, to make a long story short, she's flying me to her wedding Friday night and wants me to spend the weekend with her family. In all, the situation will be very uncomfortable, but I have a long history (in the past) with this person and I'm really excited that she's found someone that makes her happy.

My question, is what do you buy a very rich girl (so I can't buy something gaudy and take the cheesy way out) for a wedding present 2 days before her wedding. I know I could show up with nothing and she'd be happy to see me, but I would still like to get her something fun at least. If I had more time, I could do something special with an artist or do something myself, but I literally have a day to pack, go to work, and then leave. Anyone have any suggestions that will allow me to show up after having not seen her for years and say "I've missed you since we left highschool." I know there's something out there, just can't put my finger on it.

(maybe it'll come to me when I'm sober tomorrow)

Dont they have a register?

That's basically a list of stuff the couple would like to receive as a present. Just ask if she has a register. If she doesn't, just ask what she'd want for however much you want. If you cant afford a gift, that's ok too. If they're willing to fly you there, your presence is important enough.

I'm gonna have to go with a big huge dildo.

okay, no saucy panties, no giant ejacualating dildo...

...just plain and simply, something sentimental. maybe a photo of you tw oas kids or whatever...

...if that fails, buy 'em some handcuffs and a gimp suit.

Ditto on the wedding registry. Almost every couple registers at their favourite stores to help their guests with gift decisions. This also ensures they won't end up with five crock pots.

If you don't want to go that route, buy them a nice frame for their wedding photograph. You can usually get even the most beautiful 8x10 frames for under $40. You won't have time to get their names engraved on it, but check anyway.

One gift I've always been fond of is a laundry basket full of towels and a set of sheets (if their bed size is known). I know it seems chintzy, but nobody can ever have too many towels.

Just because she's rich doesn't mean she'll be expecting a huge, expensive gift. I'm sure she's happy just having you there, and I know that whatever you buy for her will make her smile.
