Who does this?

We have a bridal shower to go to next weekend.  I just opened the registry, and the first thing listed is a $70 purse.  Really?  You'd like me to buy you a pocketbook for your wedding?  Really?

I should have let Jimmy register for the videogames he wanted.

Re: Who does this?

  • A college acquantance of mine registered for dog food. And she got it. With a big bow on top in the middle of the reception present table.
  • A friend of mine registered for a bunch of bizarre stuff.  They were registered at Target, and went wild in the camping, board game, and grocery sections.  I sort of wondered if it was a joke.
  • That's pretty effing ridiculous.  Nothing says "marriage" like a purse for one!

  • One of my friends was very confused when someone handed her a cooler at her shower and acted all excited about it. When she got home, she realized her fiance had zapped it when she wasn't looking.

    If I saw dog food on a registry, you'd better believe I'm buying it. That's golden.

    If I saw dog food (or something equally weird) on a registry I would also buy it and leave it unwrapped.

  • Ha! We went to the wedding of a family friend who was registered for toilet paper, OFF!, video games, and face wash. WTF.

  • camping and board games, I can see.  those are both couple-y things that would be nice to have if the couple has already been cohabitaing a while and has all the 'usual' stuff.  we registered for a bocce ball set & a bandminton set and received them both.  They were the first things that came off the registry.

    but a purse and dog food?  weird.

  • I remember reading a while back that, somehow, some some stores will include items that you bought the same day that you registered.  Not sure if that's true though.
