The Fun Stuff


Probably one of the best parts of getting married is registering for gifts!! I'm not gonna lie, it makes the whole event much easier to deal with when i know there are boxes with pretty bows to cap it all off!!! So part of the wedding rite of passage is registering for gifts, which i suppose its time for us to get busy with. Most of my friends have warned me to save that for when i can't stand to do another wedding thing, but at this point I'm not too stressed except for that the summer is quickly passing and we'll be having showers soon and we still haven't even started a registry...ANYWHERE! So yesterday I started our first registry at Pottery Barn. Brian's opinion was that it is just a bunch of expensive crap that we don't need. WRONG-O buddy. Unless I can register for someone to put my dishes away and clean up after you, i need all of the stuff I can get! He seemed to think we needed to register for his and hers shot guns at Cabela's...

While it is not uncommon for couples to move in together before they get married and have some things established...we are not one of those couples. Yes we have lived together for over a year, but Brian's idea of fine dinner wear is the plastic plates I bought at Target. So I am having a blast registering for flat wear, serving dishes and platters, bar glasses, sheets, pillows, etc. I should probably be registered for a storage unit to keep things in, because there is no chance its fitting in our apartment now. It is all too much fun. So now i have to get him to go to Target with me. After registering for Julie's baby shower with her, i have an idea that this will take around 2-3 hours...I'm NOT tell him that though. So since there are varying opinions on registration etiquette (because I do not expect you to buy me a gift because we are friends, but i can't stop you if you want to...) I will say here that we will be registered at Target, Pottery Barn and maybe Home Depot (if B gets lucky!!)
