\"Bride<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Welcome to part five of our wedding planning journey. \u00a0 I am sad to report that I did not meet my goal of finding a photographer.\u00a0 I had every intention of sitting down for a few hours and doing research, making a spreadsheet, and narrowing down my options.\u00a0 However, my laziness got the best of me this week! The dreary cold weather was just screaming, “Go to bed early and binge Netflix!\u201d\u00a0 Next week I will resume my goal and hopefully finish this task that has been looming over my head!<\/p>\n

As for this week’s post, I do have some exciting things to share with you!\u00a0 My fianc\u00e9 and I finally registered for shower\/wedding gifts! Bed Bath & Beyond was hosting a \u201cRock Your Registry\u201d event.\u00a0 They had a few appetizers, desserts, soda, and I even went home with a small bag of freebies. They also had vendors from various companies around the store to talk about their products.\u00a0 It was a great way to jump into the process of \u201cregistering\u201d.<\/p>\n

As I went into the night, I was definitely nervous about the process.\u00a0 I was positive that this was definitely not going to be an easy task for someone like me who cannot make decisions.\u00a0 How am I supposed to decide what sheet count to select? Towel colors? I have no idea! Don\u2019t even get me started on the pots and pans!\u00a0 Luckily, we just took on the store section by section. It might have taken us a few hours, but we did it! I would highly suggest looking into Bed Bath & Beyond\u2019s future events!\u00a0 If they have another event such as this in the near future, you should definitely take advantage of it. One of the things that I found really nice about this event is that there are SO many other couples there.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t feel silly walking through the store talking with my fianc\u00e9 about which pillow to choose, because there were so many other couples there doing the exact same thing. I\u2019ve also been to plenty of stores where there is not a soul in sight to help answer questions or give assistance.\u00a0 However, I feel as though this location brought in extra workers for the night because at every turn there was someone asking me if I needed help. Even if I said I didn\u2019t need help, I think they could tell that we did need help. They would politely insert their thoughts about certain brands.\u00a0 It was so helpful to have a second opinion! Overall, this event was a great way to get our feet wet and start thinking about what products we would want to start our new life together!<\/p>\n

I do have a question for all of you brides out there…how many places are you registered at?\u00a0 We are definitely going to look at Target as well as Bed Bath & Beyond. I\u2019ve also heard great things about Amazon as well, though!\u00a0 Is three too many? Of course, my fianc\u00e9 would also love to register at Lowe\u2019s, but four might be pushing it! I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below and I\u2019d also love to hear the item you are most excited to register for!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
