Another Problem with Registering

I can add registering for wedding gifts to the list of the things that sounds really fun, but don't so much turn out that way in real life. Skipping school, dating two guys at one time, painting cabinets and planting a vegetable garden are also on the list.
Problems with registering:

• You don't get to take any of the things home right away
• All 300ish people you know who are invited to the wedding get to see your personal taste in towels and sheets (yes, we like organic things - get over it)
• It takes a really long time to walk around a large department store and find the correct items to scan
• Your hand is much smaller than your fiancee's and it is difficult to agree on flatware you both like the feel of
• At Macy's at Easton in Columbus, you get a free Starbucks coffee drink when you register. This sounds like a good idea at 7 p.m. on a Friday after working day, but not so much when you really just want to sleeping four hours later
