The circumstances of our wedding will be a bit different, though, from this traditional path. I have had my own set of dishes since I was a teenager (I know, I'm such a dork!) and we have both lived on our own and have accumulated most all household items that we need. The last thing we want to do is look a gift horse in the mouth, but at the same time, we'd love to be able to share our wedding gifts with our wedding guests. That's why we'd like to give the option of people choosing to gift specific parts of the wedding. Our plan is to have a tapas-style dinner with lots of easy-to-eat food so that the atmosphere can stay social and movable. We'll have cheese, fruits, marinated morsels of deliciousness and more. For people who don't know what to get us but would like ot get us something, this would be perfect. Instead of a punch bowl we may never have an occasion to enjoy, why not give the gift of wine or cheese or fruit? That way you and all the other guests can share in our collective enjoyment of your gift.
