Reply #45: But I don't see those lists as something that the bride/mother-to-be.. [View All]

...is responsible for.

When shopping this past weekend for my mother with the list she has there was so much crap on there that I couldn't possibly imagine that there was stuff she really wanted as oppose to what the registar pushed for her to get. Seriously, does anyone think "Gee I can't wait to get married so I can ask for a $25 muffin pan or $40 Salt/Pepper shaker"

These registars are doing whatever it takes to push the lists to the limits and using excuses as "You only get married once so get everything you want" knowing that family & friends will subsidize your future with overpriced stuff.

My mother jokes about that muffin pan that we ended up buying. She said she hopes they stay married because if they divorce who get to keep this overpriced useless gift or will it just be sold for $1 at a future yard sale.
