wedding registry disaster

Just last week someone on blog land posted about their wedding registry. 

I couldn’t help but remember back to the day almost five years ago when Brand and I registered at Target. 

First of all, Target is one of the best places to register because they seriously have the cutest things!! 

Also, because they have everything.

(Like how cute things are most important to me?!)

Obviously I recommend registering at Target

I will always remember registering for our wedding. 

I remember the way Brand’s face lit up while holding the scan gun. 

— He had to be the one to scan too. Haha!

I think it was almost a game for him. 

I remember picking out things like…

Dishes

Cups

Cookware -measuring cups, pots and pans, 

Utensils

Cooking Utensils

A toaster

Home decor things – pillows drapes. 

Bed Sheets

There were a few random things Brandon put on our registry like a $5000 flat screen tv. 

But, I felt like I couldn’t be mad at him because he was having fun. 

(we did delete the flat screen off the registry, don’t worry)

There are a few things that I will always be embarrassed about putting on our registry. 

I don’t know why we put it on there, I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time. 

What did we know, we were young. 

Can you guess what we put on the registry?

I don’t think it’s what you are thinking of, but if you are thinking medicine then you are correct. 

For reals, who does that?!

Who puts medicine on their wedding registry?

We did. 

Target told us that we were the only ones that had ever done that… and now I understand why. 

Because it’s kind of dumb and tacky. 

I can make fun of myself now because I clearly wasn’t thinking. 

We were thinking that medicine was expensive and that it would be great to get it as a gift. 

Thankfully my mom asked me to take the medicine off the registry…

After she went out and bought all the medicine that we registered for. 

Sure, she looked quite suspicious buying $50 worth of medicine and yes, they did scan her drivers licence. 

I remember thinking that the whole thing wasn’t a big deal. 

But, now I understand and am so grateful that that my mom was honest with me. 

So, if you are registering for your wedding anytime soon, DON’T register for medicine. 

Learn from our mistake. 

Just don’t do it. 

(:
