The other day I was talking with one of my bridesmaids and she had mentioned that she had gone online and looked at mine and my FI's registry. She had a very disgusted tone in her voice as she told me that we have hardly anything on there and it's too small and we need to register for more. I explained to her the exact reason why we chose to do a small registry. I told her that FI and I really don't need a lot of household items plus we are saving up for a honeymoon.
She then continued to tell me how wrong it is to not have a large registry and that weddings are all about the gifts. She also doesn't understand why we would want to miss out on a "butt-load of gifts". She is also worried that the registry will be shopped-out after the bridal shower.
It's nice that she is concerned but at the same time, it's not her registry. She doesn't need to be worrying about it. I was very taken aback by the way she was talking to me about it...maybe even a little offended, but I just politely told her that FI and I picked the registry that we wanted and then changed the subject. She has always been very materialistic so I guess I should have expected something like that from her.
I just needed to vent. I am so annoyed that she would not only be so disgusted with our registry but that she would even say something to me about it!
