I am stunned by the superficiality of this! When I got married, my husband and I decided not to have a registry and wrote on our invitations that gifts were not expected. We do not have everything, far far from it. I just think it is wrong to expect your friends and family to cover the expense of your nesting. We have worked extremely hard for everything we have, and are immensely proud of that. We chose not to burden others with filling our home. A wedding is a celebration of love and lives united, not an opportunity to accumulate material possessions! Of course, many people gave gifts anyway and they were received with great gratitude, but given without expectation.
