Vino, anybody?

So while Gav was home with his broken foot last fall we decided to go ahead and get our wedding registry done. Most of it was reasonably straightforward, decisions were made, items were agreed on.

Then came wine glasses? Well, what can I say about wine glasses. We could not decide on a single design. These ones were too chunky. Those ones weren't chunky enough. They were too square. They weren't square enough. Agh! We finally decided we just weren't going to register for any glasses. We would make do with what we already had and buy more of them. They were only $20 for 4 after all, that's a bargain.

Turns out the company that makes them, no longer makes the style that we already have. Seriously! Back to looking for glasses again. Months into this process (ok, maybe weeks, not months) we finally find a glass we can agree on. It's funky, it's not too chunky, but has a good solid stem and doesn't cost the earth.

So, what gives? I go into Macy's last week to check on a couple things on our registry that have been discontinued. (That's a whole other story.) The very kind lady that is helping me gently points out that among other things discontinued since we have registered, our wine glasses are no longer going to be made by Villeroy & Boch. Are you f*cking kidding me? After everything we went through?

Long story short, I call Gav, he says "Buy them! Buy them all!" We are now the proud owners of a full set of white wine, red wine and champagne flutes. Now, to have enough people over so that we can use every single one of them, all at the same time.
