We all know that weddings are about love and commitment and being surrounded by the people who mean the most to you. But, weddings are also about presents. More specifically, weddings are about the very particular presents people put on registries in order to furnish their new, married life. Below, eight women reveal the one bizarre item they put on their registry and the reason behind it.
Beer Pong Table
“We just recently moved to Charlotte, so now we are super close to our alma mater (University of South Carolina), and we will totally be going back for football games. Plus, it folds up and it’s super portable, so we think it will have many uses over the years!” —Tracy, 24

Dish Scrubber
“My husband had fun playing with it the entire time we were in the store scanning actual things. And it actually turns out it’s really good for the Le Creuset stuff we got!” —Alie, 31

Year’s Supply of Cold Brew
“We start every morning together with a cup of coffee and love the convenience of keeping our favorite Wandering Bear coffee on tap in the fridge. We created a Zola cash fund for an annual subscription. It was a super popular gift amongst my friends, and we’ve been extra caffeinated every since!” —Carolyn, 31

Toilet Night Light
“[My husband] put it on our Amazon registry as a ‘high priority’ item. When I asked why it not only was on the registry, but high priority, his argument was: a cleaner bathroom. And now it’s actually amazing for when I have to go to the bathroom at night. You don’t have to turn the lights on, and you don’t wake up as much!” —Kahlee, 26

Shaved Ice Machine
“I jokingly requested an old-fashioned shaved ice maker from Target. It was like $30, so I thought someone might get it as a gag. But, alas, no one did. I secretly am OBSESSED with slushees/Icees/sno-cones. I tried to find one that made ice similar to Sonic’s slushes. I don’t know if you’ve ever had a Sonic drink, but it’s the absolute best in the world.
I honestly didn’t need much so it was weird to request things on the registry. Therefore I requested a few little things I wanted but would probably never just up and buy for myself.” —Cameron, 24

Foot Massager
“We’re getting married this summer, and I really hope somebody buys us the foot massager we registered for. It’s a silly gift I would never buy for myself because I can’t justify spending this amount of money, but it’s something we will actually use every day. Living in NYC is hard on a girl’s feet!” —Ana, 26

Movie Theater Candy
“We did our registry at Target the in-person way, walking around scanning things we liked. We realized you don’t have to just scan traditional registry items—you can scan anything Target carries! As a joke, my husband added several boxes of movie theater candy to our registry. A couple of people noticed and questioned it, but then when we opened our gifts, we found a box with all the candy!” — Tracy, 33

Murray’s Cheese of the Month Club
“My fiancé and I are both obsessed with cheese (the funkier the better), so we were really excited to find out that we could register for a cheese of the month club. It’ll be so fun to receive a present in the mail every couple of weeks after our wedding that includes something we can both enjoy together.” —Rebecca, 26
