When Mr. Hum and I originally registered, we tried to make a balance of fun stuff versus stuff we actually needed. However, as time went by, we got a little concerned about whether or not people would be too enamored with the fun stuff and that we might have to buy a big chunk of the need stuff ourselves from the registry. With the rest of the wedding bills still needing to be paid, dropping a few hundred dollars to round out our dishes collection didn’t seem particularly attractive to either of us.
Thankfully, Wednesday’s mail brought us a great surprise while I was sick in bed (it turns out I had a nasty ear, nose, throat infection). We got a lovely little letter from William Ashley, telling us that Mr. Hum’s aunts and uncles had purchased all of our place settings for us in one go!
I never thought I would be this excited about dishes, but I’m really looking forward to getting a new (and full) set and think it’s really sweet that all the Hums went in on the one big present for us.
Has anyone surprised you with their generosity? Tell me about it!
