YES on the pots and pans. My grandma bought us a set of Revere Ware pots and pans for our wedding (that I did not register for) and we are still using them 15 years later because of the quality.

Also, YES on all the financial planning items as well (of course). ;)

The pots were probably the best thing we ended up with, for sure!

The people who are getting married now seem far wiser than I was starting out. One family member asked for the Darth Vader waffle maker. I know this means lots of breakfasts are going to be home. I happily bought it for them. A fun gift so they can laugh.

I mean, that is pretty funny.

Love all this advice during wedding season (and the estate planning is useful for divorce registries too!). My first summer job was at Williams-Sonoma and I remember registering hundreds of people over the three months. I spent every day walking around the store with the scanner and trying to help people pick tableware and pans.

I love the way you framed this!

Thanks, friend! I wish I realized some of this 13 years ago, but it feels like a good check-in for seasoned couples, too.

We are well-seasoned. Mostly cardamom and fennel.
