I just received a funny phone call at work from my fiance's Aunt. She let me know that she went into the store that we are registered at and printed the list of what's left. We have a small registry to begin with and with what's already been purchased, there isn't a whole lot left. She wanted to know if we would be adding anything else because what I have left on there (such as a meat thermometer lol) isn't 'wedding gift material', that is more fitted for a Bridal Shower according to her. It's all kitchen related items left, so I never considered any of it to be inappropriate for a gift!
I'm just shaking my head at the fact that someone would call me and say that. I was a little put off by it. I told her that I will speak to my fiance but that we don't really want to add something just for the sake of adding it. She said she was calling on behalf of her and her husband and some other guests who are attending so it sounded like they were all looking to go together on something a little more significant, which I understand. We would prefer a monetary gift to put in our savings and that's why we have a small registry but I didn't say that because I thought it would be rude coming straight from me.
Anyway, it was such an odd conversation to have with someone whom I've only met once and for a few minutes!!
