China/Dinnerware.

This past weekend, Jason and I started our first wedding registry. We began with Macy's thinking that we could knock out a lot of things there, but as we walked around we realized that we needed be a little more strategic about what we registered for where - if that makes sense. We registered for some basics, but we may end up going back and editing our list once we figure out where else we are registering. One thing I thought for sure we would knock out would be the fine china, but when I showed J the pattern, his enthusiasm was lacking.

I love this china. The only reservation that J has is that he doesn't like gold, so we left without registering for it. I'm usually pro joint decisions and making all parties happy, but with this, he'll just have to get over it. Later that day I told him we were going to register for it, which he agreed.

Right now we are hunting for some good basic, modern everyday dinnerware. I was a little disappointed in Macy's and William Sonoma/Pottery Barn, so I've been scouring the internet to see if I can find anything I like. I've found these two at Crate & Barrel. The only problem is that the closest Crate & Barrel is in Atlanta which is, ohhhh, a good 6 hours away, but I think I may order a plate from each set so that we can actually see and feel it before we register for it.

Jason says he likes square plates, but I'm super picky about square plates and I have a weird aversion to square bowls. We saw a good set of square plates at William Sonoma, but the bowls were badddd. I'm hoping I can win him over with one of the above selections...

Wish me luck!
