By the time our wedding day rolls around, my husband and I will have been legally married for 7 years! Long story short, unexpected pregnancy, I needed insurance since I had just graduated from college, and getting a quick courthouse marriage was the easiest way to go about it (we had already decided we were getting married, we just hadn't amde it formal). Anyway, it was important to us to be able to have our big wedding (we didn't have anyone at the courthouse), so we told people when we originally got married that we did NOT want any gifts since we intended to have a big wedding later.
We intended to have our wedding sooner but life (two more kids, several job changes, moving to 2 other states in the meantime, the economic downturn) got in the way. Now I am debating whether it would be tacky to have a registry or not. At this point there is very little that we need that we haven't already purchased and I don't want to look greedy by having a registry after 7 years. On the other hand, I am afraid that if I don't have a regisrty people will take it as a hint that I want cash. I don't want to require that people get me ANYTHING but I know that inevitably, there will be someone who asks either where I am registered or what I want. Don't get me wrong, there are things that I would like to have (some nice china for instance or nice stemware), but I don't know if it is appropriate to set up a registry at this point. The date that we have chosen for our wedding is over 2 years away right now but I want to have this question sorted out early enough to have a tactful and thoughtful answer to any inquiries.
HELP!!!
