Dirty little secret

My secret behavior that I wouldn't want my coworkers to know? I'm a closet bridal registry lurker. When acquaintances of mine get engaged (Facebook is a gold mine for such news), I click on over to theknot.com and look up their registries. And then I judge them. (By "them" I mean both the selections themselves and the happy couple for making such ridiculous selections.)

Brown towels? Bleah.

Only 200-count sheets? Why even bother?

Do newlyweds really need a creme brulee torch?

Does the average couple need a $1200 set of pots and pans?

What the hell is a butter warmer?


I just don't get it.

Why is it that wedding gifts are now viewed as an opportunity to upgrade?
