Wedding registry is stressful! In fact, it was the only time I really lost it and cried during wedding planning. My husband and I were in the china section at Barney’s and I just started balling. The poor woman assisting us. Some of you might already have a well stocked home and some of you might be starting from scratch. Either way, there are pressures from family and friends and stores and marketing and tradition to put together a typical registry. Well I’ll let you in on a secret. Almost every single person I know ended up returning more than half of the gifts they got off of their registry. So I’m going to let you know the items I kept, I use, I love.
I’ve shared these with friends and they love them and use them too. No matter what the status of your kitchen or home, these registry items will not let you down. And they will add to your healthy lifestyle!
