Registering

Ok, so Nick and I are getting married in a few months and we weren't planning on registering. Why? Because we don't really need anything and we didn't want to make our family and friends feel like they needed to get us anything. We really just wanted them to come.

Well, we finally became convinced when one friend told us, that if we didn't register, they'd get us something hideous that we couldn't return. Point taken.

So we registered. It's painful. Horribly painful.

We went to Macy's last Friday because they were having a registering event. What's cool is that there were delicious appetizers. What's not cool is that there are a million sales people (not just Macy's, but actual reps from kitchenaid and cuisinart and calphalon) that are all trying to get you to register for their stuff. You have a scanning gun that is just aching for you to scan every cool thing in sight, but you feel bad asking for stuff you don't really even need - the lady tried to get Nick on board with a cuisinart panini press/griddle and Nick goes, "I have a George Forman that works great."

We left with a whopping 11 items on our list.

We did it again on Saturday at Crate and Barrel. We heard Amazon let's you register. That might be more up our alley.

The good news, we're finally getting rid of the teal/pink dishes.
