    I flame BreeandShane over on the honeymoon board.  Everyone gave her good advice and how it is extremely rude and tacky to have a honeymoon registry, even asked her to explain why she thought honeymoon registries were ok.  She got all mad, never answered, and deleted her post like a child. 

    Another person who didn't like you lovely ladies setting them straight on etiquette, and stomped off like a baby.

    In Response to Re:FFF!:[QUOTE]Oh wow, that is some bad china. I thought I might like it because artsy people can have wierd tastes, but no. That's too far gone to even be kitch or ironic. Posted by Harry87[/QUOTE]

    Since everyone is talking about the china, I just wanted to throw out that where her guests got it from, per her ebay listing. That store is where you register in oklahoma to get in our local bridal magazine, so I wonder if she even liked the china.

    Side note: it is a very nice jewelry store and its where my rings came from.

    Christina's taste in eveything is clearly the exact opposite of my own, but that centuryold ring looks like one I bought from Claire's 15 years ago. And it might just be the light, but is it missing a stone?

    <div>Ha ha! Some fiances just don't get registries, do they? Mine's also being thick about it, but in that he wants to register only for furniture. We were at C&B on Sunday and he scanned a bunch of things without me looking, and I had to delete them from our registry online afterward. His scans included: a sofa, a kitchen table + chairs, a leather armchair, and an 8'x10' rug. I sort of get wanting the 10% discount for the 6 months after the wedding, but people would LAUGH at how ridiculous these thousand-dollar items would look on the registry. I mean, c'mon.</div><div>

    <div>Hahaha!  This reminds me of the day I registered. I took one of my bridesmaids with me b/c my then fiance was out-of-state for work. As we were picking out stuff to scan, she kept grabbing so much of it and putting it in her cart to buy as her gifts to me. I was like, "Will you stop! You don't need to buy me all this and there will be nothing left on the registry!" She was so cute. </div>

    I agreed with her on Facebook. Nothing against the wedding bands themselves, but because her glassware and china are like 100X more expensive. I'm not saying that the dollar value means anything (and I'm having a very budget wedding, wedding bands and my engagement band wasn't expensive either), but the fact that her china cost more PER PLATE than her wedding band did gives me some indication of what's more important to her.

    I don't think you are! FI got my e-ring from a designer that we both fell in love with. So we decided to really treat ourselves and get our bands from them too. It wasn't a "oh we should spend more so it means more" thing. It was a "hey, let's be nice to ourselves and get them from someone we love!"

    Posted by StageManager14[/QUOTE]


    I don't want to argue with you because we're obviously going to disagree and that's fine, but I have to think that the girl registering for thousands of dollars in china is far more of a "materialistic snot" than I am. If someone is going to ask their guests to spend that kind of money on dishes, I would think they have a pretty huge budget and money means something to them. Sure I'm being super judgey and leaping to conclusions, but the HUGE dollar difference makes the wedding bands look like an afterthought. This is something that signifies your marriage and you're supposed to wear it for the rest of your life. I would assume that someone who obviously care so much about glassware and the name brand would also care about her wedding band.

    Also, I, too, only saw that $187.00 and didn't know until now that it was $400. That changes my opnion a little and I'm sure my wedding band will be less than that. There's nothing wrong with a wedding band that cost $15, but people like me are going to assume things when your china costs like $10,000.
