registry time
August 5, 2008
Here’s a short note on wedding registry:
Initially, I didn’t even think about creating one. In the place where I grew up, we didn’t even have what’s called a wedding registry. Bottom line, I’m just not used to the idea. However, I lived here in US long enough and as I would say over and over again, I read too many wedding mags. In every one of those, there’s section devoted to registry. By now, you must know already what I’m going to say next… Yes, finally I created a registry. Not only one but TWO registries ^.^ (those marketing/persuassion techniques indeed works!).
Well, there’s a reason behind my change of mind (Obviously, those marketing people behind the mags can’t persuade me that easily). Creating a wedding registry is a one-in-a-lifetime event. Why don’t I just make one for fun? There’s nothing to lose and I will get the experience for lifetime.
Edy, well,being Edy, suggests that we creates a registry at amazon.com. That’s completely opposite of what I think of the registering experience I want (the process is just so… unmemorable, you register for everything from your laptop. I want the browse-touch-scan kind of registering!). Anyway, he brought up the pros and cons (why so complicated!? Registry is just a registry) and we finally agree on it. But, later on, I still want to have the traditional registering where you go to a store, browse, and scan. So, I decided to just create another registry (there’s no harm in having more than 1, by the way). I like Crate & Barrel stuff so we went there last week and had so much fun browsing and scanning. I think this is the best solution for everybody (well, me and Edy 
). Enough about wedding registry. Until then…
