Registering

Who would have known that registering was such a pain in the behind? I never would have guessed it would be so hard! Nick and I went to Dillard's in Sugar Land a few weeks ago just to pick out our china. We sat there for at least two hours with this hideous, annoying lady. She was smelly, gross, and thought she was a high class entertainer. She pressured us into registering for really expensive stemware and other things that were out of normal peoples price range. We left there pretty stressed out about everything and went back this past Saturday. To our surprise none of our stuff was in the system. Basically, we wasted two hours of our lives. We had to wait for the main lady to get back from lunch until we could re-register for our china. We hoped in wouldn't be the annoying lady, luckily it wasn't. This lady was very nice and helpful and let us do what we wanted. She didn't pressure us into anything! After we were done registering for everything but china, stemware, and flatware we went back to her to register for those things. She finally found us in the system under my name. She had Nick's last name spelled Pope instead of Popp. Thank goodness we didn't have to go back through and register for the china again. All we did was delete all of the stemware and register for a cheaper version...Mikasa rather than Waterford. Don't get me wrong, Waterford is beautiful, but OUTRAGEOUS! Nick and I decided on getting really nice champagne glasses for the wedding rather than 12 glasses to go with our china.


Our china is Pearl Innocence by Lennox. This picture doesn't do it much justice. It's very pretty in person.




This is the metalware by Wilton Armetale we picked for more casual entertaining. I think I will use this ALOT!!!

So registering turned out to be lots of fun. It wouldn't be right if there weren't any complications. That's just how our luck is. Nick is still adament about registering for tools so we will have to find a place for him to register. We are tossing around the idea of Sears or Home Depot. Sears story is a whole other blog.

I thought registering was going to be a highlight in comparison to other things...hello spending other people's money :) It was actually a real pain in the butt. Some of the places we went had poor registries or stupid rules and others had horrible customer service. It was a nightmare.
