Attempt #1 - Crate & Barrel

To my surprise, one of the more time consuming and difficult aspects of the marriage business is dealing with the registry. Where to register? What to put on it? What do we have? What do we want? What MIGHT we want, someday, in the future, when our future-selves want household items?

Maybe we'd want a slate cheese board?

For living as long as I have lived, I've never had to have an opinion on what my dish style would be. I think Megan and I figured we were this particular style of dishware people.


Friends, could you imagine yourselves coming over and being served wine in Jordan stemware at the Jalufka-Thompson household?


How about drinking a tall glass of lemonade out of a Dylan 17oz highball glass?


Not to mention enjoying a fine meal at our place with our very own Stanton satin silverware set? Does any of these options scream "Chris & Megan?" I think we pretty much decided "yes" for all of the above. We still have a few more stores to visit, a lot more decisions to make.

Next, we have to figure out what sort of kitchen towels and floor mats say "us" the most. It should be a hoot thinking that one through.
