Last week I went to Bed, Bath & Beyond to do my bridal registry. I had begun my registry online, with Susan's help and guidance, to avoid feeling overwhelmed at the store. The only time I go to Bed, Bath & Beyond is when I need to buy wedding gifts where you are given a list of things you can buy and then can be directed to exactly where the item you want is located in the gigantic store. Jesga accompanied me for the event since she has marital experience, had much more knowledge about household products and what I will be needing in the future. We were armed with the registry gun to scan any item my heart desired and were guided to the starting point, the household gadgets section, which the sales lady recommended starting because it was the most complicated part. As we began strolling down the aisles Jesga pointed out the spice racks. I have never owned a spice rack and had fared well so far in life so I was hesitant about scanning it in but was soon lured in by the spinning motion of the shiny individually labeled spices and was soon convinced that I will be in dire need of all these spices when I cook someday. We were off to a great start albeit slow, each time Jesga pointed out something that she thought I should register for I would stare at the product, envision myself using it, look at all the varieties, then finally scan one in. At one point I asked Jesga, "Are you sure I'm going to be needing all this stuff? I don't even cook." "Oh, you will," was her reply. We spent nealy two hours in the store and I was tired and ready to leave. When we walked out of the store, I felt relieved which surprised me since I do enjoy shopping and that was shopping where I spent no money that other people are going to buy for me. Am I ready to become domesticated? It was a bit stressful because I don't know where I'm going to be living once I get married and I had to envision how I wanted to decorate a place that I don't have. It also forced me to face my biggest fear in getting married which is cooking every single day after day after day. I should ask people to give me simple, easy, delicious recipes for the bridal shower so Erik and I don't starve.
