I didn't register for china when my hubby and I got married. My relatives yelled at me for not putting that on the registry, but we are not formal people and I didn't want to have to deal with having that additional set of dishes that we would never use. My grandmother felt sorry for me, (being married and not having a set of china! OMG, just the thought!!!!!) so she went and bought me a set from a garage sale! It has been sitting in my cupboard for 24 years, and we have never used it. Guess what I am not going to have any trouble getting rid of when we move to TV?!?!
