In less than a month, the most awesome, super-fantastic, crazypants adorable couple in the world is getting married. Their illustrious nuptials will put all others, past and future to shame. Your wedding? Shame! My wedding? Shame! The marriage of Princess Diana to Prince Charles? Shame! Of course, I may be biased, since, well, I semi-sort-of-partly fixed up the couple in question. Also because they're so sweet they'd give the candy man a toothache.
With their wedding coming up soon, it came time to get them a gift. In the past, I've gone the gift certificate route for weddings, generally. Gives the couple some freedom and its less to carry when the inevitable post-wedding move to a new place to start a life together thing happens. In the case of Ben and Lisa (the aforementioned awesome couple), I decided instead to check out the registry and see if there was anything on there that seemed like a good get.
Now, I've never checked a wedding registry before so I had no freaking clue what I was doing. I wandered into Target like a deer in headlights, picked a few things up off the shelves and scanned them on the bar code stations. At that point I realized that finding out their prices and finding out if they were part of a wedding registry were not the same thing. In a random bout of willful determination, I decided I'd rather not ask for help on this one.
After another couple laps around the store, I found the wedding registry and gift terminal. From there it was easy. I scanned the list a couple times, found an item I wanted to get them and went back and picked it up. So, I'm all shopped for their wedding, I got them something I know they'll want (cause, well, they said they wanted it) and I learned how to use a wedding registry. It was a good day.
