Registry

Wow, just looking over our registries makes me feel sick. While I completely see the validity of owning so many items (they are useful!!), it doesn't feel right to ask for stuff in such a tacky way. I understand that people want to buy you stuff when you get married. I get it. But why all the bullying into registering for items that you may hardly even use? I am glad that Eric and I managed to survive BB&B without registering for any lenox or, even worse, beauty/health products. The bridal consultant actually tried to convince us to register for hair dryers, curling irons, back massagers, etc.

I am a very cheap/thrifty person. I don't buy stuff unless it is on sale. I didn't register for things I thought were outrageously priced, yet I feel ashamed for even having a registry in the first place. What happened to humility? I was always taught that you should be thankful for whatever you get, and giving is greater then getting.

This is just one of the many things plaguing my brain... 4 months and 1 day to go. wow.
