“My grandpa had a super rich uncle whose daughter was getting married. Solidly 1960’s middle class, the only thing my grandpa and grandma could afford to buy for them was a single fork for their silver service. So they bought them one fork. It’s become our big family joke now and my mom gave me a single silver fork for my wedding!”

“A café grade coffee machine. Like the ones you see in professional coffee shops. I’ve been to these peoples house, this thing wouldn’t even fit on their kitchen counter and it cost around £5,000. To make it worse, she doesn’t drink coffee.”

“A gaming console. Seriously. WTF.”

“You don’t need $400 for a Dutch oven, you just need a tin of baked beans and a solid blanket.”

“One that I wasn’t even invited to. I work for a global firm but someone sent out an email to our entire office with a link to their registry and a link to their honeymoon GoFundMe. It made me cringe. I simply deleted it and moved on with my life. It was the second marriage for both and they were well in their 30’s.”

“Crystal salt and pepper shakers on their registry that were $200 each and sold separately.”
