Getting ready for a wedding is really stressful. So, as part of my list of "fun things" to do in order to get me a little more excited, Chris and I took a trip to KC to register. We had already been to Home Depot (where I followed Chris around writing down everything for the registry for about two hours). I figured that going there first would make him excited to help me. So, we started at Williams Sonoma. The woman sat us down on the display couch to fill out some paperwork. Once we completed it, Chris and I waited patiently for her to come help us continue with the process. I started asking his opinion on various pieces around us.
Issue #1:Me: I really like this coffee table.
Chris: But it wouldn't be comfortable for me to put my feet on.
Me: Well, that's not relevant because that's not what coffee tables are for.
Issue #2:
Me: Which of these pillows do you like best? I like that green one.
Chris: Well, it doesn't look like something I'd want to lay my head on.
Me: It's for decoration. You don't lay your head on it.
Issue #3:
Chris (making a dejected observation): So, I guess you wouldn't light those candles, either?
Boys really are funny :)
Chris: But it wouldn't be comfortable for me to put my feet on.
Chris: Well, it doesn't look like something I'd want to lay my head on.

registering was one of the most significant challenges our marriage ever faced... and it happened before the wedding! :-)
You guys make me laugh!
Maybe you can compromise and get a little of both - cute decor AND stuff that makes you just want to plop down and veg for awhile. I totally get what Chris means, but of course I love stuff to be pretty!
