Cathartic Wedding Planning

I've identified one of several issues with "registering". And, since the "registering" process seems to rest largely on the bride's shoulders, I'll be the one to write about it.
Basically, the issue is this: it feels too much like writing a list of things we wish we had, rather than a list of things we feel so fortunate to already have. And, really, the list of what we have is lengthy.
Yesterday my mother was wrapping a gift for me. Instantly, I reacted, "Mom, no! Don't get me anything!" and then blah blah blah, bridezilla, bridezilla, bridezilla. She blew me off and said, "Oh come on, it was fun! Giving gifts is fun!" I forgot about that side of the equation. Giving gifts IS fun! So, anyway, we're registered at REI and Target. I dabbled with some Macy's registry stuff and Uncommon Goods. We still toy with the idea of registering for a honeymoon. What I'd really like to do is register with the universe and all I'd ask for is a bunch of free time. :) Of course the greatest thing we could ask for is what you've already given, and we are very thankful for your friendship!
