Lux, I just got married back in June. We were engaged for almost 9 months and have a huge family - my aunt was insistant at first that I register for a china place setting so people could get me china. She thought I was odd because I didnt want a $20 spoon or $300 plate!! Expensive china does not fit my lifestyle or desires... all I wanted was the blue willow plate sets mom picking me up at BILO for $2.50 a set!
I know china is important to some families and people, but I couldn't fathom having dishes I was afraid of dropping, afraid of eating off of, afraid of letting the dog use one of them (as her own personal one of course..lol)... and then to have to spend more money on a hutch to store them in.. to collect dust... ? I had just rather had something more useful than china. Thankfully I didnt let my aunt guilt trip me and I didnt register for china.
And my 6 place set blue willow old timey plates from bilo have served us well!
