Scan Me

So last night we experienced a Rite of Passage for many, if not all bridal couples...we registered. After much debate (by me, in my head) it was decided that Bed Bath and Beyond was the best place for us. We combined households and already own two of most things so we figured we could register for some more special items that we knew we would enjoy together.

We were both pretty tired going into the evening so figured we'd scan a few things and call it a night...not so much. We already own both sets of our mothers China so we were good in that department but once I saw the BEAUTIFUL glassware...we were doomed. I love glassware for some reason and just feeling the weight of the gorgeous crystal made me want to scan the whole shelf. We tried to restrain but it was definitely our splurge to register for some Waterford Crystal wine glasses, champagne flutes and water glasses.

Here's Michael scanning our new towels!!!

In regards to the rest of the registry, we definitely put on some "want" type stuff but for the most part we restrained and kept it to things we had discussed we needed to complete our ideal kitchen.

But who am I kidding....

Do I need the red silicone prep bowls? No.

Do I want them? Hell Yes!!

Will they make me happy? Yup!

We had no sense of time while we were there...its like Vegas. They must pump in oxygen and prevent clocks from working because we were there for over two hours and it felt like 10 minutes. The saleswoman reported that many couples return a second or third time to finish but we think completing the registry from the comfort of our own computer is just fine.

Overall the process was fun. It is rather odd to be registering for presents but I guess it beats getting a pre-decorated Christmas tree that smells like cigarette smoke, right Jess??
