In 1924, the Chicago based Marshall Field's Department Store, introduced the very first wedding registry allowing newly engaged couples to choose the china, crystal and silver with which they wished to start their married life. It's a win-win solution, especially for young couples who may have little more than plastic slurpee cups and beach towels.
Mamarazzi loves a gift registy. It makes life for everyone involved easier and if a bride feels that she must have a punch bowl set, or a stand mixer, or special BBQ tools, who are we to deny her? A good and thoughtful registry will also have a range of price points enabling both broke roommates and wealthy grandparents to hit a home run.
However, what about those rare couples for whom money is no object? Just what to get a couple of multi-millionaires for their sham wedding?
Well wonder no more as Kim Kardashian and her intended, Kris Humphries, have helpfully set up a Wedding Registry at Gearys and for a mere $6,500, you can buy them this Lalique vase:
or, if you are one of The Poors, you can buy the never going to make their first anniversary future Mr. and Mrs. Humphries this bargain priced Baccarat candy jar:

Ladies, I suggest we pool our resources and send the lovely couple this lovely rustic deco (hey, it's got lots of vertical lines) Asparagus Box. http://www.gearys.com/gearysSF/p-152596-asparagus-box.aspx
Sarah - it's a hard choice between the Asparagus Box and the Mustard Jar... how have I managed all these years without either!?
How much asparagus must one ingest in order to warrant buying a box for the asparagus??????
Nonetheless, I am fascinated by people's wedding and baby registries!
