A(nother) Proposal for the Brides

I am in the midst of some very stylish wedding invitations. I'm planning plane tickets and parcels wrapped in whites and blues. Determining dates and dresses. Spring is here and it's brought marriage for many friends...more every year. I love hearing the details but admit to blushing a light spring green at the idea of registries.

I'd do well by a registry. I feel like I might just make one to organize my materialism into a checklist at Williams Sonoma. Motivate my personal savings, allow me to price shop a bit. Currently, I'm a little embarrassed to admit that for someone whose full daily ritual revolves around food (work, play, boyfriend flirtation), I am missing some fairly basic equipment.

• No Toaster or Toaster Oven
• No Blender
• No Mixer of Any Kind (Hand, Immersion, Standing)
• No Cast Iron Skillet
• No Full-size Food Processor (my mini is awesome but overflows)
  
• Coffee Pot (okay I have one but it is a 4-cup that is woefully out of date)
  

I look at that list and I definitely think it's registry material. So here's my proposal to all of my lovlies getting married. If you are starting to see duplicates in your soon-to-be Mr+Mrs. kitchen, send the originals my way. Counterspace or Not (Decisively Not) I will find a place in my heart and kitchen for your lovable plugables.

Your donation to Wicked Park also qualifies you for a foodstuff prepared with the item of choice as an act of christening and gratitude. To be delivered at the end of your honeymoon when you are tanned but exhausted. Think about it.

I don't care if they are not brand, spanking new, I assure you they will be well-loved into a ripe old age. Till death do us part. Ideally the toaster goes before me but with some of those gadgets you just never know.
