A friend of mine who is fluent in ASL (American Sign Language) has agreed to provide interpreter services for gratis because of our friendship. She says consider it her gift. However, I feel guilty because she gave me a generous fee for doing some interpreting work a couple of months ago. Should I, at least, get her a nice gift as a thank you if she won't take a fee? Since I know the practice and time that goes into interpreting a wedding ceremony I just wouldn't feel right.

Re: Gratuity for Interpreter at Wedding Ceremony

If your friend says she doesn't need to be paid, her request should be honored. Trust your instincts, they seem spot on, and give her a nice gift. Select something meaningful. It doesn't have to be expensive, just heartfelt. I'm sure your friend will appreciate the thought. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
