My friend from high school is getting married next month. Now, normally I wouldn't have given another thought and would have just sent a card saying "Congrats!" but this is one of my GOOD friends. So we're going.
I thought about what to get him and his lovely bride-to-be, usually we just give a check, but I wanted to do something crazy for once and buy something off of the registry. I now kind of regret it.
So, here is my million dollar idea, when a bride-to-be or mother-to-be registers for something, I feel as though when you look at the item online it should say "THIS IS HUGE AND WILL TAKE UP SOME STORAGE" or "THIS IS SMALL BUT MAKES YOU LOOK CHEAP".
The UPS man brought this HUGE box up to the house and I was very confused. I open it, and it's the picture frame that I ordered from the registry. I thought it was going to be something medium sized but not something so big that it takes up 1/4 of my couch.
I realize that most picture frames say the dimensions on the site, but I so stupidly ignored it. It's not like the picture frame itself is huge, it's the ridiculous amount of packaging and the fact, I can't wrap the frame by itself without random corners poking through.
I now have a full month to keep it out of Vada and Charlottes reach, and protected long enough to make it to the wedding, after that. It's theirs to figure out where to put it.
"This is small but makes you look cheap," made me laugh, because it's so true. Maybe they registered for the big frame because they plan on putting a wedding portrait in it. Good luck wrapping it!
