So during our engagement, I obsessed over which dishes to register for. When I went away to college, I was given a hand me down partial set of Corelle. It was a partial set to begin with, and I broke a few plates...so I've literally been down to 5 plates and like 4 bowls for the past couple of years, and I figured I could hold out a little longer until the wedding came around.
I held off on buying dishes after we moved into our house because I figured that was a traditional wedding gift, but apparently not because we didn't get a single place setting between 2 wedding showers and the wedding itself! So I guess all that back & forth didn't really matter.
Anyways, H and I went to BB&B today to pick out a set once and for all. I am SO excited to not only have a nice set of dishes, but to have more than 5 plates!! We ended up getting a different set than we registered for because they were less pricey.
They are the Lenox Organics Stoneware, and we got them in white (not the color in the picture). I think they are a better fit for our kitchen anyways (although the kate spade pattern we picked out originally is still gorgeous!).
Best part is, we paid for them entirely using BB&B store credit/gift cards and the money I've gotten for selling all my wedding crap. Hooray!
And because TN sucks....a link instead of a photo:

Glad you got some! We didn't get any plates and stuff for our wedding either. Thank heavens his grandmother gave me some for Christmas and My Birthday.
