Our Registry
We've talked to most of you about the gift registry, but for those of you we haven't spoken to - and as a reminder for the rest of you - we're keeping it stripped down to a single item: a dining room set from Sticks. We're purchasing it locally from Sweetheart Gallery, so if you head on over to their website you can view the specific piece we've chosen.*
Becky and I come to each other with complete households. We are potted, panned, linened, arted, and generally furnished to a perfect balance for the lifestyle we have. Which already makes it tough on you come Christmas, eh? So we opted for a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted piece that will last our lifetimes. Something we'll cherish. Something we're already joyfully committed to buying in celebration of our wedding day.
We freely admit that it's a pricey item. By doing this we aren't implying that we expect any of you to break the bank trying to cover the cost of this thing. It's about the emotion attached to the gift, not about the loot. But you already know that about us, anyway.
So our gift registry consists of asking for a contribution towards this one gift. Any amount is a perfect amount. This is an item to celebrate our love. A thing of beauty to remind us of all of you: the people we've shared so many parts of our lives with.
Word.

*Many of you already know the routine, but I'll just add the details of how to view it right here. Click on the words Sweetheart Gallery here or over in the sidebar under 'Links'. Once you're in their website you'll see 'Gift Registry' in the upper right corner. Click on that text. On the next page you'll find our names...and only our names (hmmm?). Give our names a click and there you are. You can click on the various pictures to get larger versions of each.
And 'cuz I know it's the next logical question...Sweetheart will be setting up the payment methods in the next couple of weeks (or longer). We've asked for it to be credit card friendly, but there is a tag you can click on labeled 'Contact Us' that will give you all of Sweetheart's contact methods. As soon as I'm sure of how the mail should be labeled or the checks addressed, I'll post it here.
