Second only to dress shopping, registering for wedding gifts has to be one of the most fun things I've done so far! Last weekend I went to Crate and Barrel during one of their "Registry Events". Every Sunday they open the store 2 hours early for engaged couples to come and start building their registries without fighting the regular weekend crowds. Tom was unfortunately in Colorado at the time, so I got to pick out all the fun stuff. (I say unfortunately, but seeing the dazed/lost/numb looks on many of the other grooms faces at 9am on a Sunday, I think he was pretty lucky to not comparison shop for stemware).


I didn't want Tom to totally miss out on ALL the fun, so today he came with me to "review" all the selections I made. Simple "yay" or "nay" to the plates, cups, forks, and cookware that we'll be using for the rest of our lives :) I think he actually had fun and we discovered that we have very similar tastes. One registry down! We're both excited about starting to create a home for our new family of two! 


My parents still use a LOT of the things that they registered for 30 years ago. Anyone else have something that they received as a wedding present that they still use today?
 
Thanks for visiting the website! We're really excited to be planning our big day in September. We'll be updating here with (hopefully) fun details about the wedding planning process. 203 days to go!


So far the experience has been great. Who knew that you could get so much done via email on your lunch break? We've nailed down our date, location, caterer, DJ, photographer, florist, and my dress. Woo hoo! Google Spreadsheets is my friend.


Here's a question to get everyone going... what was your favorite wedding memory? Either from your own wedding or from a wedding you have attended in the past. Post it to the comments section to share with everyone!


Love,
