Oh, the Guilt

“Never advise anyone to go to war or get married.”
-Spanish Proverb

So, I’ve discovered something: I don’t like registering for wedding presents!  I feel like an absolute jerk while doing it, the line of thought seems to be : “Hi, I’m getting married, please buy me stuff.”  I know it’s the Done Thing, but I still!  And whenever I saw something that we actually needed or could use, of course I wanted quality which twisted the guilt knife even deeper.  I’m SORRY I want non-stick pans (because I would ruin anything else) and a cheese grater that won’t fall to bits upon first use, good grief I never had buyer’s guilt for something I hadn’t actually bought!  Make it stop!
