So, a family member of mine is getting married 20 some hours away in a couple weeks. Due to the doctor not allowing me to fly, my family won't be attending. When we got the invite, I noticed there was nothing about being registered anywhere. Another family member asked me if I knew where she was registered and I told them no but I'd try to find out. Then that family member texted me and told me she asked the bride's sister about the registry and her reply was, "Oh, they're not registered anywhere. They're hoping that no registry=they'll just get cash." I ignored it because I knew that that is just going to mean they're going to get a bunch of stuff that they don't want, because people don't always want to just give cash. The bride texted me later on and said "I understand there's been some confusion about the registry, just tell people we want cash. Thanks." UH WHAT!? I ignored that one and just said "haha, alright." My mom texted me today because we always do everything last minute and asked me about the registry. Knowing it was just my mom I said to her, "oh they don't have a registry, they just want cash." My mom then told me that she found a registry under their name at wal-mart, but there were only 3 items listed- a vacuum, a shoe organizer, and a visa gift card. (I didn't even know you could register for those.) My mom said she will just order her a vacuum and have it delivered to her house rather than give cash. She said anyone else in the family who asks about it, she will just tell them to send her a vacuum, too.
Figured you ladies would enjoy this one. I'm SO thankful for this board because I've learned so much about what is right and what isn't right.
