The more I experience certain things in life, the more they seem different from how I always thought they would be.
Let me explain. I always thought my wedding...
Hmm. Let me start that again, because I never really envisioned my wedding so didn't have specific expectations.
Well, I guess what's bothering me is registering for things. I've seen couples go into various stores and pick out what they like and put it on the list for everyone else to buy. Our registering consists of visiting websites for UK-based stores and trying to guess how nice things are. It's really hard to pick out a comforter, for instance, by just looking at the picture online. It could be hideous in person. Wine glasses all look the same, defining proportion is hard because nothing is "life-size" on the website, besides the fact that there just aren't enough pictures of these items to really get a good idea of what they are. What the heck is an anodized roaster, for pete's sake? What does it feel like? How is it different? These are questions I can't answer because I'm not there looking at it. "Vino wine glasses" or "Seville silverware set" doesn't tell me a darn thing.
But the mere fact that I'm even bothered about anodized roasters concerns me because I never cared about them before. But a wife needs a roasting pan because how else can she roast things? Not that I even know how to roast things because I never have. I don't even know the pound/defrost hour ratio for turkey!
I'm about to get married and I can't roast things and I don't have an apron.
