Registered

[greatbear]

I am not one to solicit things from people, but I am doing this since a few people have asked if we had a wedding registry. At first, it wasn't going to be, but after being asked early on, and given our common use of Amazon.com for so much stuff, we put two and two together and I created a wedding registry for us there. Now, I am new to this in more ways than one. We originally were going to eschew (gesundheit!) any gifts for ourselves, however, for many, the gift is in the giving. I am in that camp as well, I like to be generous in any way I can, it's how I was raised, after all. I myself don't like to be denied the opportunity to give of myself, and such is the case with more than just a few of our friends as well. That being said, Jeff and I have been trying to come up with various items we could use. As I said before, I am new to this, and once I figured out how to get it going, it should be easy. Well, it's tough to think of desired gifts. We've been slowly adding to the list. It hasn't been without a humorous side effect though. Adding a registry to my account also added an extra button on every product page. I use a wish list to bookmark items to compare and to hold off until later. Well, the registry button took the original position of the wish list, and by accident I had been adding all sorts of totally unlikely "wedding gifts" to the registry. Tools, computer parts, hardware, car stuff, you name it. Jeff wondered why some odd shit was there and I had to laugh. I took most of it out but left a couple things there for the laugh value. I mean, a receiver hitch for the car? Heck, we are getting hitched... lmao

So, here it is. Our wedding registry. We'll be thinking of stuff to add as the day grows near.

A tow hitch followed by dressmaker's shears... Gotta love it!

It really was a mess at the beginning. All sorts of nonsense. bolts, computer bits, tools, electronic gear, etc, it was all in the wrong place. I left a couple there for fun. Getting hitched can mean two different things! ;)

Thanks for doing this! You are exactly right, even if you are uncomfortable with receiving gifts... people want to give things to celebrate your day.

Who is getting hitched from behind? BAM!

;)

I've never tried ordering from a wishlist; I was going to get you something small for the hell of it but it asked me where to send it, displaying my dozens of shipping addresses instead of yours, so I gave up. Seems suboptimal. But best wishes and happy wedded life! ;-)

I *think* you have to put items in the cart directly from the registry page, if you go to the product page then put it in the cart, it's more like you are shopping for yourself. At least that's what I tried to figure out. I've never done it either, aside from my own wish lists. ;)

Thank you for the well-wishing!

That's what I like about LJ, you have to do a bit more to show your "liking." ;)
