So on Saturday and Sunday, Andy and I attacked his local Target, Kohl's, and Bed, Bath & Beyond. Other than finding a dress, it was the most fun we've had so far! I felt like a kid in a candy store; anything and everything was fair game. "You're pretty",
scan, "I like you",
scan, "You cost $200",
scan. I think we both got exactly what we wanted, with a fair amount of compromising along the way. And if you thought that Andy would be bored and miserable, you are wrong. I've never seen a guy get more excited about juicers than this kid. If you didn't know this, Andy is pretty nifty in the kitchen. So naturally he nearly cried when he saw the KitchenAid 7 cup food processor of his dreams. Now, I know that all brides are supposed to have their future house designed in their mind, with a central theme and color for each room, and matching everything picked out....well, I guess I didn't get that memo. Our selections are kind of all over the board. Especially in the kitchen. We looked at 10 different colors of FiestaWare, couldn't decide on a single or even two-color combo, so we decided to get all of them! They were just all so pretty! Now I've talked to several girls who have said that registering with their fiance was when they had their first real fight. Luckily for us, everything went so smoothly and we had a great time. I think we learned a lot about the other person's taste and how to compromise to find something we both like. Andy is more naturally attracted to things that are darker, sleeker, clean lines, more modern, etc. I like things that are colorful, floral, fun, and so on. So naturally we were drawn to different styles. But it worked out great in the end because he would pick out something and then I would pick out something, or we just kept looking til we found something we agreed on. But we didn't just register for kitchen/bathroom/housewares. No no no, we picked out some fun stuff too. For example
- a 2 ft. long bone for Sancho (Andy's dog)
- the board game Quelf
- Mexican Train Dominoes
- Little Big Planet 2 for the PS3
- Super Mario Galaxy 2 for the Wii
- an HP photosmart printer/scanner/copier
- a tent, lantern, ice chest, and propane grill
- His and Hers Shakeweights (if you don't know what it is.....look it up)
- LOST - season 6
So again, we're registered at Target, Kohl's, and Bed, Bath & Beyond. You can look up our registry under Rebecca Carter or Andy Sawyer.
