Busy As a Bee
I suppose my schedule will only get busier in the coming months. We had house guests this weekend, and I had to work on Saturday to catch up on some stuff that I got behind on when the feces hit the rotary air circulation device earlier in the week. Today, instead of relaxing, I did get to sleep in a bit, but then we spent the afternoon going around with the realtor looking at condos and townhouses, along with a few single family homes. Our wedding is in 14 weeks, so there’s lots to do on that front, too. Future Husband thinks we are crazy by trying to buy a home and plan a wedding at the same time, but hey, lots of couples do it, right?
On the wedding front, we don’t want a huge shindig, and we don’t need to put in all the traditional elements. A registry is not necessary, either - I was looking at the suggested items to register for, and we have pretty much everything on the list. So what do we need to register for? We just want to get the things that are important to us and have a really nice wedding. And since we are buying a house, we don’t want to spend tons of money.
Anyway, that’s life right now. This week is more houses, more wedding shopping, and more work.
People always think you can only register for kitchen and bathroom stuff…..NOT!!!! The sky’s the limit! If you already have those things and you can care less about china…then register for something cool like a high def TV or furniture, video equipment, etc…..gift cards are also GREAT!!! If no one can afford the high price tag items….chances are they’ll get you a gift card. Just a thought! Looking back now….I think I’ve used my China twice and I think it is sitting in a box in storage somewhere!!!!! If I could do it again….I would register at the Apple store!!!!!
The gifts really aren’t important at all; we’d much rather just celebrate with our friends and families. Besides, thinking about registering anywhere is yet another thing to think about!
Then don’t even worry about it!!!! There is no set in stone rule that you have to do the whole registry thing anyway!
Yeah, I’m really trying to avoid doing things just because that’s the way it’s supposed to be done. I’ve just always been that way.
