Because we have been together for so many years, own a house and already have a full life together we do not need anything in terms of gifts. Also, we appreciate that most guests attending the wedding are traveling from far away, which is gift enough. That said, we created the registries because we know that for some people it will make things easier. Please do not feel that the registries are anything other then a way to make things easier if you would like. (Can you tell that I am feeling seriously awkward?)
