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?
