Attention all December Brides: I may have picked out your wedding gift

by Jodifur on October 31, 2007

Being a mom has made me a better person. Yeah, I know everyone says that but I think it really has. I have finally gained some measure of patience.
Saturday I was at the mall and I ended up at the cash register in the home section of a department store behind a very old woman. She was very, very confused about the whole wedding registry process. Ordering a place setting of china took about 20 minutes. Before Michael I would have sighed and tapped my foot and looked frantically for another open cash register. (In Macy's, please.) But, I didn't have Michael with me and there really was no big rush. When the woman did not understand that the gift was shipped directly to the bride, I explained to her that brides really like getting the gift at their house other than bringing it to the wedding, than they don't have to worry about it getting it to their house before they go on their honeymoon. I heard all about her great nephew's wedding, that they were getting married right before Christmas, the wedding was in Philadelphia, and they just graduated college. Between the store clerk and I we managed to get this couple a wedding gift, although picking the card greeting was quite a feat (Did you know you could say Congratulations, Best Wishes, or Congratulations and Best Wishes. What would Miss Manners pick?)
So, if you are getting married December 23rd in Philadelphia and your fiance has a great Aunt that lives in the DC area, I think you owe me a thank you note, email me for my address. I'll take a wedding invitation as well.
