Sick bored and waiting for FI to get home I decided to see if people have started buying us stuff yet.  And they have!!!!  It is the coolest feeling ever to look at your registry and realize some things have been bought.  I must admit I love presents it's one of the best parts of having a wedding.

    Hello - this has nothing to do with loot, although I am looking forward to the day when I can do exactly what you're doing! 
    I just wanted to let you know, I finally looked at your wedding site - HILARIOUS! I loved it! Everything looked gorgeous and it was so entertaining - I hope I can make a site a fraction as great as yours!

    woohoo! People have bought stuff from registry too. However, some stuff was bought back in December, and we don't have it yet. I wonder who got it? hmm.

    That sounds fun!  One of our guests, FI's cousin said she was going to give us money for both the shower and the wedding.  I told her that was gracious, but she didn't need to get a gift for both events.  I was like WOW, she really didn't have to do that.

    I know we are trying to figure out who are our on the ball get stuff done early friends.  We've gotten 5 things off the registry although I think 3 are part of one gift. I never knew a registry could be so much fun!

    We got a wine chiller, white wine aireator (sp?), and one of our slate cheese boards from Crate and Barrel.  Guessing the chiller and aireator are one gift and maybe the cheesboard too.  From BB&B we got a breadmaker and this electric temp controlled water kettle.  (We drink a lot of hot tea) 

    StephB you'll get your loot too one day!  Enjoy this time after the planning starts so does the craziness.  And I love your dream of a Disney HM.  I had always wanted a Disney wedding, but FI was like anything but ;)

    @OFF - Your site is awesome! I found myself smiling or laughing all the way through and was thoroughly entertained. I'm sure your guests will love it and your wedding will be beautiful! Love the proposal story.
