When husband and I got married we did not want to register, in fact we had told both sets of parents that we wanted to ask for no gifts on the invitation. Well, of course the moms stepped in and said absolutely not. So we caved and registered at Target for ONLY camping equipment. Still not good enough and pleasing the moms we went back to register for more suitable items. Because no one would buy camping equipment off a wedding registry.

Then my parents told me some of their clients and had called said they did not and would not shop at Target. To please tell me to go register, at least, at Macy’s. An employee of theirs told me “she just didn’t do target.” Up until that point who knew you could be a low-brow registrant?

And what happened, yeah we got a few things from Macy’s, but we also got ALL the camping equipment. Ha, ha, moms. And the couple’s shower thrown for us? That’s right, it was Camping themed.

That’s a joke, btw, though you’re free to have the fondue pot. I’ll get you something you’ll actually use too.

The juicer would have been smart for us, seeing as we ended up with 12 fruit trees. You just never know!

As for a money tree, there are people (who, yes, I know personally) who buy a special purse to match their wedding dress and people are expected to PAY to dance with the bride. It is called a money dance, but I couldn’t get the word hooker out of my head.

Feel free to register for that organic juicer for me… and the compost bin!

Totally LOL’d at this: why don’t I just walk down the aisle dressed as a set of branches and have people throw money at me instead?” and this “You decide that you deserve to sleep on 500-thread count sheets when, up until now, you’ve been sleeping on an aerobed with Batman cotton twinsheets.” Ha! Great list - and seriously, so true.
