Our church has a nice tradition of honoring brides by giving them a bridal shower. This is even if the bride doesn't belong to our church but is marrying someone who does belong to our church. I don't often go to the showers since many of them fall on nights that I have meetings, etc., but there was one today that was noon on a Saturday, and I didn't have anything else going on so I could go.
The groom is in the Navy, and will be returning home in December just long enough for the wedding (private small ceremony) and then the couple will return to his base in Virginia. There will be a small reception that night but this was probably the bigger celebration.
Wow. So many nice gifts, they will start out housekeeping very well. Dishes, appliances, gadgets, linens...the list goes on.
Some of us at our table were talking...when do we get to register again for new stuff? What many of us have is still from our own weddings and is frankly getting worn out. We realize it isn't gonna probably happen but wouldn't it be nice?
We'll just have to take things into our own hands, I guess. I received a gift card for Christmas last year from my mom and used it to buy new kitchen gadgets such as a whisk, a ladle, and other stuff to replace what had frankly been pretty worn out.
About the only thing I really need to replace now is my dishwasher...think they make a gift card or registry for that? Oh yeah, if I do get a new dishwasher (not likely, my DH is too cheap...) I'll need some new glasses and a few other things to replace the things that the hard water has pretty much trashed. We're talking more than water spots here.
