Yup… all of them! I went to edit our Crate & Barrel registry and I did a double take only to see that all of our dish sets were bought… ALL OF THEM!
I rushed to tell Mr. Lemon, who gave me the calm and collected answer of, “Oh I know.”
“What?!? You know?!?! Who, who???” I stammered back at him.
It turns out that two of our guests, who will be unable to make it to the wedding, decided that they wanted to beat the registry rush and buy something that would really help us out. Wowzers! I guess I just didn’t ever expect to get such a large gift from someone… let alone so far before the wedding!
I’m suddenly beginning to realize how much of a wreck I’m going to be for the wedding, since a simple registry purchase swept me with emotion. Just wait until I have to thank all of the guests for being at the wedding… oh boy…
i can relate! we got our first wedding gift via mail yesterday…….4 place settings of our dishes in a big box from crate and barrel. i was so overwhelmed with joy!! my fiance’ was less than enthused 
he just calmly said….”cool”.
my best friend who got married last april got those dishes!! she LOVES the color blue and these dishes are SO AWESOME! we had dinner at their place last month and i loved it. they are so modern and funky but very simple and EXTREMELY durable! congrats!!!
Keep ahold of those happy feelings. It will help make up for the many guests who fail to RSVP, who no-show after you’ve paid for their meals, who invite extra people, who order lobster for their 3-year-old, or never think of sending a card or gift.
i get teary eyed thinking about my wedding and i’m not even engaged yet. ugh, i’m so going to cry it’s going to be a mess. i HATE crying. lol.
is that the kita? i have that at home from my registry too! i love the dishes. its soooo versatile.
I dido your sentiment. I received $1,000 plus some Tiffany’s tumblers and beer mugs from my mom’s friend, $300 from my mom’s old boss who I only met once, my uncle is planning on giving me at least $1,000, and my dad’s friend bought us an All Clad frypan and saucepan. My mom and I have been deliberating on what to get these folks as thank you gifts….I am very appreciative but stressed out thinking of what to give in return.

Mrs. Lemon, Los Angeles/Monterey Age and Occupation in 2006: 26, Graduate Student (Public Policy) Fiance's Age and Occupation in 2006: 29, Environmental Consultant Engagement Date: April 7, 2006 Wedding Date: July 7, 2007 Venue: Rosary Chapel & Monterey Marriott, Monterey, CA About Me: My FI and I met online, but we like to tell people that we met at a "cookie shop" which is the technical location of our first encounter. He proposed exactly 1 year, 1 month and 6 days after our first date (it's the only part of his proposal speech that I remember), and we're planning long-distance from Los Angeles for a July wedding in my hometown of Monterey, CA. I have a passion for all things "cool, cute and quirky" and I enjoy video games, reading blogs (WeddingBee, trashy celeb, consumer & political) and crafting in my spare time, if I have any!
