Bridal Registry

for anyone who has never done a bridal registry before, a few words of advice:
- it's really overwhelming at first
- start with one room, and register for anything you could need in that room before moving on
- don't be afraid to register for things that seem expensive or a little fantastical, you never know what may arrive in a pretty little package...

after 5 and a half extensive hours, ryan and i think we have successfully completed our bridal registry. who knew it took that long to decide what bath towels you wanted, what pillow was the softest and most cloud-like, what kind of rug you wanted under your feet. Bed Bath and Beyond, and Target were most accomidating.

we were definately disappointed to find out that IKEA isn't "with it" yet as far as regisrty is concerned. there are a few things we were hoping would be affordable from there such as a kitchen table, a computer desk for ryan, an enertainment center thing...it really sucks coming straight from your parents house because most of your furniture is the same motif from early childhood and doesn't have the practicality to accomidate two newly weds. so with that in mind, we leave it up to your imaginations....

love
katie&ryan
