I'm posting this in BWW since it sees a little more action than the Newlyweds forum. I know a lot of former brides check in here. Um, like me.
So, it's been over a month since the wedding and I occasionally stalk our gift registries online. We received the 10%-off coupons from the stores in the mail so I'm starting to make lists of all the things we want to buy and get the discount on.
I've noticed that there are a few gifts that say "purchased," but we never received them. Did that happen to anyone else? There are a couple things I saw that I really want, so I don't know if I should use the 10%-off coupon or wait it out. I wonder if someone picked out a gift for us on our registry and then decided they wanted to keep it for themselves? Or maybe someone purchased it, sent it, and it was lost or damaged in the mail. Maybe they'll think I'm a selfish beotch that never sent a thank you card for it.
Wouldn't that be really mean to do it on purpose? Say your arch nemesis was getting married, so you purchased one of their big-ticket items from their registry with no intent to give it to them? Then none of the other guests would buy it since it would be listed as "fulfilled." Ouch.
I'm just rambling now. But has that happened to anyone?
