And that addition is checking our registries every day to see if anything new was picked out for us by our guests.
Step 1: Admitting that I have a problem - Check
Step 2: Resist the urge to look every hour and limit it to one time per day - Check
Step 3: Realize I can't beat this addition and do it anyway - Check
My Mom asked if it took the fun and surprise out of it but I still don't know who got the items for us until they're opend so there is still the surprise element. Plus, how can opening up gifts you actually want not be fun:) It's hard not to get excited that the upcoming three showers next weekend mean getting to open up a lot of fabulous gifts. Then there's the morning after the wedding when you get to do this all over again! Joe said it perfectly when we first got engaged, "Getting married is like winning a mini lottery. You get to marry your best friend, but have a huge party with food and music to celebrate, then you have the 'wedding night' (oo la la! that I added:), wake up the next morning and it's like Christmas, open gifts and then jet set off to your honeymoon!"
I honestly feel a little selfish asking for all of these nice things. I've been to my fair shared of wedding in the past four years and know gift giving comes with the territory. It's just one of those added bonuses to getting married for the bride and groom. Hopefully our guests will know they are appreciated and we're thankful for the well wishes and if they chose to do so, gifts.
