Traditions: Then and Now - Wedding Gifts

Clearing out my emails today and came across a blog article titled "Why We Give Wedding Gifts".  Informative if nothing else, but finding out that Macy's began their bridal registry services in 1924.

Times have for sure changed.  Statistically, more couples have lived together before marriage, and most retailers says that registering for appliances and household goods are down.  Personally, I blame it more on the fact that a Vitamix is $600, and  people aren't comfortable asking someone to buy them a $600 blender.
