Finally, Roger and I grabbed a chance this afternoon to pop into The Bay and register for some more things. But let me tell you - whoo... it's tough. It is not a relaxing task, but both Roger and I realize it's pretty much a necessity so that our guests will have some idea of things we both agree on.
But I want to make something very, very clear. WE DO NOT EXPECT PRESENTS. From anyone. Best phrase I heard was "We request your presence, not presents". Seriously, you being part of our wedding by being there is more than we expect from anyone - especially with the amount of out-of-town guests. We couldn't ask for more. The registry is for those incredibly generous friends and family members who like to respectfully dismiss this and get us something anyway - and since Roger and I are picky in two completely different ways, you can imagine how much 'fun' we're having finding things to put on the registry. Oy. Hardest so far was the china. Nearly caused a ruckus - him liking plain white plates, me hating them with a fiery passion.
We'll probably have to go in again, but hopefully we'll have recovered by then. So check out the registry, and be happy that we've expanded the list of 3 items to 'more than 3'. If we can, we'll try to get pictures up for the items - so those interested are not totally blind or dependent on having to go into a Bay store to see them.

Hey Heather, Steph sent me the link last night to your blog. I have to say you and Roger seem to have everything under control.
ReplyDeleteAbout your previous post about the yatch club flags. Are you able to take them down? If not you might want to consider swagging autumn colours over the flags so it is not obviously a "nautical" room. Just an idea.
Good luck with the planning.
Becky
Hey Becky! I'm glad you think we're under control - I was going over what I still had to do in my head on the bus home today, and got a little scared. Ideally, everything should be planned and good to go a month before the wedding - I really hate last-minute stuff that can't be improvised.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion for the Hall! I was thinking of possibly swagging it. Have you been in there before?
