What a fun thread!!
I have been married for 31 years. I didn't register for anything. Back then the only people that registered, did so for dishware etc., and I had no desire for anything fancy.
I still use a ton of gifts that I received from both my shower and wedding. A favorite wedding gift was a card table!! We still use it to play games as well as at family holidays!
We received a set of steak knives that we still, 31 years later, use daily. Also a set of Corelle dishes we use daily. We received many other gifts, but those have been my favorite! We had a table at our reception for gifts. My parents brought everything to their house and when we got back from our honeymoon, we went there to open the gifts and cards with money.
The only crazy wedding gift we received was this MASSIVE glass clock!! You would have had to live in an mansion to have had a place to hang it!!!! We lived in a small apartment!
Times have changed though in 31 years later! We went to a cousins daughters wedding a month ago and there were no gifts, just cards with I assume cash or checks.
