Tricia R asked: I am a woman who is invited, with my husband, to a lot of weddings for family, friends, neighbors, children of husband’s old college roommates, etc.
I normally object to using wedding registries. I make an exception where the couple has registered for china or silverware (a register makes sense in that case), or is older and has almost everything they could want. I feel that the giver, not the recipient, chooses the gift.
I have been avidly reading on Yahoo Answers the opinions of brides and grooms, most of whom seem to very much feel entitled to choose all of their own wedding gifts.
One wedding registry answer advised other brides and grooms to choose very luxurious and expensive items for their registries on the theory that young couples cannot afford things like very expensive towels. My question is, most of these couples seem to be having “fairy tale” (read very expensive) weddings. Wouldn’t it make sense to have a less expensive wedding and save some money for towels?
