[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People need to remember that registries came from the days when people would marry straight out of high school when you had two low wage earners who needed EVERYTHING to fill a house.

Today, with people marrying much after college, the two people marrying will have accumulated much of the stuff they will need to fill a house when they marry.  And will marry at a time when they have decent incomes.

As someone who does not like handouts, registries are uncomfortable for me.  I know two people who got married in their late 20s after living in a house they bought together for a couple of years.  They had everything.  Gets worse.  They own a company together and at that time were probably pulling in 400K/year between the two of them.  I was embarrassed for them that they even had a registry.  Come on.  [/quote]

When my dh and I got married we were older and really didn't need anything.  So I didn't register. At first. Then everyone drove me crazy asking where we were registered, and then arguing with me about how it was really nicer to everyone to give them an idea of what we wanted. Trust me, I tried "just don't give us a gift.". So, I finally registered, and gots lots of lovely nice crystal that have used a lot.  [/quote]
