It is Better to Give Than to Receive

My fiance and I have registered at a number of places for our upcoming wedding. It's kind of a odd... we are in short handing each guest a wishlist of gifts.

Yesterday while on the phone with my fiance, I said to him "I can't wait to see what it looks like when someone buys something." But then at that very moment I saw that something was bought. Actually a couple of things. It was all 12 settings of our formal china... AND the host bowl.

We both felt bad , but at the same time I was happy because it was something I wanted. I guess we're hoping it wasn't one person, but rather a few people buying the gifts together. We were always taught that it's better to give than to receive (well not everyone was taught that...), but I guess we will have to accept our feelings (good and bad) unless we want to get rid of the registry all together.
