Should I register with my fiance?

The question of registering comes up all the time before a wedding. What you're going to register for could be everyday dishes, formal china, kitchenware, linens, and things of that nature. Should you take your fiance? Absolutely. There are going to be a lot of things that he actually cares about. He might not really care about china too much; maybe that's something where you need to go and pick three patterns to then take him back and say, "Okay, here's three. Is there one that you really like a whole lot better?" But maybe he's really into cooking, so maybe he's the guy that's going to pick out the kitchen appliances and the things that you're going to have on your wedding register. I think that he should be part of that with you, because the registry is putting your new life together for the two of you, and what you're going to have in your home should be a joint decision.
