Today FI and I went to Target and registered for 20 items! Definitely not finished registering, but at least it's a start. According to Target, I'm ahead of the game since their timeline for registering is 5-6 months before the wedding.
My mother kept telling me that certain aunts of mine are asking her if I'm registered anywhere yet because they want to give me engagement gifts. According to all the research I've done online and by reading wedding books, gifts are not required for an engagement, and I tried telling her that, but she kept saying they want to give me engagement gifts. Well, I'm not going to deny anyone the urge to give me a gift, so that's fine with me if that's what they want to do!
