      Well as with a pp, I got a crockpot and pots and pans, kitchen towels, and a spice rack for Christmas, and I was really happy with it. That made me feel grown up, since I will have an apartment next semester at school instead of the dorms. Also, this past week FI moved into an apartment too near his job (just graduated…

      Discussion by VarunaTT · February 2016 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Woes

      FB Shennanigans (I kept my mouth shut through all of it): Of note: I am the only person who has had a full time job/income for the past 4 years. So basically, everything in that goddamn house is mine if I wanted to claim it, b/c my income probably purchased it. I move out while he's visiting his parents for 2 weeks in AZ…

1003. How to Split Registries Between Stores?

      

      Discussion by rlavach · November 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Registry and Gift Forum

      So, we’ve decided to register at Target and BB&B. We did Target already and put almost everything we need on there. I am only looking to BB&B for fine china and flatware, plus a few better quality bedding and towels. Plus, I want to give my guests more flexibility than just 1 store. Can I really have a registry at BB&B…

      i was wondering the same thing. Living in our own home for a couple years now, I do not need much in terms of kitchen stuff, towels, sheets etc but there are counter stools i've been wanting from potterybarn. I don't want or expect peopel to spend a lot on me, but at the same time i hate going to showers where there is…

      While there's nothing wrong with having an early shower, it is not at all proper to USE the gifts before you're married (as others have wisely pointed out). They are wedding presents, not before-the-wedding presents. Just...don't do it. If you really can't make it through to your wedding without new silverware (or…

      My husband is not sick and did a really good job on the floors. I have an extra hour and a half that I need to take off from work this week (if I work normally, I'll be at 41.5 hours when we close tomorrow) but I'd much rather leave at 3:30 than take a long ass lunch. I'll feel out the bosses and see. Luckily my duvet…

      Yes, requesting gift cards would be really tacky. Maybe you could register for items that are inexpensive to ship, such as towels, sheets, linens, small picture frames, etc.? Also, when you go to a FedEx/UPS/USPS store, you will pay a LOT less for shipping than what you are paying when you order something from a store. The…

      Again, thanks Ladies for all your words of encouragement!! I SO appreciate it. I was seriously considering throwing in the towel yesterday. I think I will have to start talking to you guys a lot more rather than friends and family. I say that because most friends/family have marital and/or trust issues already so they are…

      We were in almost the same situation, older, this was his 2nd and my first. Don't underestimate what he "isn't saying. When I wanted to throw in the towel and do a JoP to save the money, that's when it came out that HE really wanted a wedding. His words were "we only get once to do it right".We had a very small immediate…
