[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know brides who come from families that expect registries.  Nice registries.  Giving nice gifts is important to those families.  So what?   [/quote]

Agree.  I attended the wedding of a grad school friend who came from a moneyed old Richmond family.  She registered for Tiffany china.  12 place settings.  A single dinner plate (plate only, nothing else) was about $150.  Guess what?  She got almost all of her china registry fulfilled.  [/quote]

OP here. I know the couple really well. Both sides. They are not from these kinds of families. That is in part why I think it is strange. I am buying a gift that costs about $150 and that will be the end of it, but I was shocked at the crazy coffee pot. [/quote]

Look, everyone always has something like this on their registry.  Sometimes it's a pie in the sky, wouldn't it be amazing if someone actually bought this gift, and sometimes it's something they want to buy themselves with the 10% discount.  We had a couple of those - our kitchen aid mixer, our vacuum, and a really nice piece of furniture.  I hope my friends weren't as judgmental about it as you are.[/quote]
