Our Registry

Jon and I decided a while ago (knowing us, probably before we were even engaged… ) that we would like our registry to be at the Bay.   We loved that it would be easy and accessible to everyone; every town in Canada has a location and if not, they have a great online shop. Additionally, we also both loved the History of the Bay, Mr. Hudson himself was the topic of my 5^th grade speech.

It was a fun task, and yet tiring at the same time!  We geared ourselves up for one epic evening of shopping back in November. I had created a spreadsheet, so we had a game plan going in… plus we knew that the Bay would provide us with a MASSIVE list, which was not our style.  Seriously, we told our sales representative that we would be living in a condo, and already have some things and therefore would not need much.  Our sales rep then went on to tell us we needed at least 6-8 sets of towels!  Honestly, has she seen the storage in Toronto condos!?!

With our own spreadsheet and the scanning gun in hand, we set out on our shopping adventure.  It was a fun activity knowing that we were picking out items to help us start our lives together (cheese alert!), it was also fun to put a few dream items on there (Hello Bay Point blanket!). After 3 hours of shopping we were done! I must say, it was a good sign for our marriage that we only got grumpy once and that was at hour 2.5, when we could not find one pretty duvet – we also had not had dinner yet.   We ended up scanning the least ugly one we could find and left for some much needed dinner.

We had a fantastic meal at ‘Bannock’ the Oliver&Bonacini restaurant attached to the store and relaxed knowing one more item of the wedding to do list was complete.

(I have since gone online and changed our duvet choice)
