pyonir... are you sister and her fiance christians?

before you jump on the whole religion thing.. hear me out.

i just recently got married... back in december..
we had 600+ guests... so you can imagine how hectic the preps were...
and how much gifts we received from them.

while we appreciated every one of 6 toasters and other duplicated house items that weren't on the registry...
it ends up being just another gift.

since i got married, i've been having pretty difficult time...
marriage hasn't been much fun.

and due to few of our friends' recomendations, we decided to go to a marriage conference.
that's where we were this past weekend... up in maine.

and i have to say... as cheesy as i may have thought it would be before attending...(which it was.) it really helped us much. my only wish was that we had attended something like this before we'd gotten married... to avoid/better manage many issues.

i don't want to sound preachy... and i don't like to post any religious stuff on anandtech...
but since you asked... i just thought it might be nice for you to get them a gift certificate for something like this.

if your sister and fiance share another faith... then, do a little search... i'm sure you'll be able to find something on the net.

a weekend to remember

People register what they feel they need. Write her a letter and buy her something off the registry... Unless they have a lot of money.... that's the stuff they're going to need and appreciate the most.

hoihtah: thanks for the idea. While they are christians (not active at all really), that type of thing wouldn't suit my sister, and i don't know enough about her fiancee to make a judgement. Thank you for the suggestion though :)

appreciate more than something original and from the heart? yeah maybe from an aunt or uncle, but not from me. a really good friend of mine is getting married next month (in that wedding also) and they will get something from the registry because we are friends, known eachother 5+ years. not all my life. see what i mean? :)

You can do what I did and just wrap a cinder block and tie 2 100$ bills to the cider block. It was hilarious when they were handed my gift and didn't know WTF it was. Great photo.

I didn't know what to give to my sister at her wedding since she had been living with her husband already and they had everything that they needed for the house. I went shopping like everywhere and couldn't find the right gift. At the end I decided to give money because the wedding was expensive and they were going on their honeymoon afterwards and figured the more cash they have the better. So I ended up giving them a couple of hundred bucks and they were very happy.

Very tought to get something with lasting value, and
Important for it to be personal.
But, how are you to know what they need?
Really, it might involve you asking them what they want.
A traditional gift is usually a kitchen item.
The couple who has everything, can always use more from Williams Sonoma.
Or, maybe just send them good luck wishes.
Right gift doesn't have to be big.

Money is always the best gift. They'll probably need it for their honeymoon. She'll probably forget what you get her ten years from now anyway.

Why don't you just remove the one you have stuck in your @$$? pyonir came here looking for advice and instead he gets this sh!t.

Have you looked into getting her anything such as household appliances, dishes, silverware, etc?
