OK, I've been married coming up on seven years now. Still going strong thank you and very much in love. However the other day I was looking at a friends blog and realized she has the same cake stand as I. OK, so it's not the most unique cake stand in the world, I'll give you that... But I'm always a little surprised when I find someone with the same items I own. I don't know why... it's not like Wal-Mart is that uncommon of a place to buy things!
This particular cake stand we got for our wedding. As one of 4 other cake stands that we received it was the most versatile, so we kept it and took the others back. We also received multiples of other things as well. But the towels.... holy crap the towels. We got GAZILLIONS OF THOSE. In fact, we are just now (after 7 years mind you) starting to really use the last set. We didn't even wear out the others yet! Though one set is getting really close.
Some were tacky and I would never use, so we either sent them to D.I. or use them to dry cars after washing them (which isn't often). lol Towels are good mind you. Some say you can never have too many. They are pricey and come in handy for many many things. The thing I find most odd? A lot of them are the same color (green), but not the color that we picked on our wedding registry (blue). In fact, I don't even know why we registered we got some really random stuff!
Curtains. An atrocious cookie jar (with a creepy stuffed grandma on the top... seriously? this thing would have scared ME away from the cookies... and I'm not easily dissuaded from such things!) A florescent orange hot pad... and more.
What was the most atrocious thing that you got? And what did you get bazillions of?

I love this topic. Ben and I have been married seven years, too!! We totally registered, but people just gave us what they darn well wanted. Most atrocious - a homemade bath mat made of two towels, batting between, and tied, like a cheesy young women's quilt. And we got bazillions of waffle irons. And a couple in the ward, who were like my second parents (I shall leave them nameless), gave us a knife set from THE DOLLAR STORE.
The husband and I are coming up on our 8 year wedding anniversary and our most atrocious gift was from one of his old roommates: a used avocado green fondue pot.
My cake sand was from Williams-Sonoma... and my worst wedding gift was.....I can't remember anything too horrible, but we did get like 15 cookie sheets, I should have started a bakery!
