Well, no not that one. Well, okay yes I did ask my sweetie to marry me and she did say yes. The big day is right around the corner, October 14th.

No, the big question I am talking about was calling B&H and asking them if we could register with them. That's right my fiancee' asked me who I would like "us" to register with and without batting an eye I said, B&H.

Unfortunately though they have no provision for couples registering with them.:(

So, now we are registered with Linens & Things and Lowes.:(

At least I gave it a shot.:D

You could always create a wish list, make it public, and send the link to all of your guests. :D

Oh just tell people you're registered with the Federal Reserve. They issue those gift certificates that have pictures of dead presidents on the front.

Congrats on the engagement!

Congratulations! Nice try on the B&H registry. Everyone knows that photography gear is essential for newlyweds- more insentive to start a family (so you can take lots of shots of the little ones)

I second the wish list idea. Just make it public and tell everyone you're registered there :) they can search by your email or name to find your list :)

And congrats!

Edit: holy cow did I revive a dead thread.. oops.. sorry :) That's what you get for linking to old threads!

I hope your wedding went OK - are you divorced yet?

(OK, so maybe that was slightly insensitive :D)

Seriously though, congrats.
