Why did you register at bed Bath & Beyond? “We found no other store that offered so many options in one place. It has everything from fine china to bedding to appliances and much more.”
Did you register together? “Yes. We went to our local store so that we could see everything in person. But I often checked the registry online, and I especially love that it gives me a countdown until our wedding day.”
What appealed to you about Kate Spade by Lenox dinnerware and Lenox stemware? “We love to entertain, and the elegant platinum leaf pattern exudes our style—modern yet classic. The stemware was a perfect match, and we couldn’t resist adding it to our list.”
Did you consider pricing when registering? “We only registered for things we could afford ourselves.”
Do you have advice for other couples? “Consider your groom: It’s your day, but he wants things too! For example, we added a back massager that Matt was dying to have.”
