Congratulations to the Caps' Brent Johnson, who tied the knot over the weekend with his girlfriend, Danielle Ence. Those of us who attended Hockey In Heels in February heard the story of how they met. Anyway, being a somewhat-recently-married woman who spent a lot of time wedding planning on the Internet, I did what any other Knot regular would do: I looked up their wedding registries.
I was curious to see if their registry would be as unusual as some others I've seen, for friends of friends (like a $4 tub hair strainer or a $300 gravy boat). Danielle has good taste: her Vera Wang table settings are lovely (although there WAS a $185 gravy boat!). More importantly, she chose items that weren't too astronomically priced. I've heard of some weddings (again, friends of friends) where the bride chose the most expensive things in the store, and her friends don't include well-to-do hockey players, just regular people. So kudos to Danielle on that one.
Her Crate & Barrel registry was interesting. Looks like the Johnsons plan to do a good amount of entertaining! More wine glasses, some highballs, guava rimming sugar, ice bucket and scoop...again, all nice items. The pancake warmer and egg plate might be a little much, but hey- if you've got the storage space (and I'm sure they do), why not?
Hope they had a great day- and that the marriage bliss wears off by next month so that Brent has his head in the game. Because that's really all that matters, right?

I once waited till the last minute, and I had to buy a pair of 100 dollar salad tongs. It was painful.
Shmee, I KNOW! I learned the hard way too. (But why do people pick out these things?!?)
Maybe they just have so many guests (and by that point in their lives they have homes already so they dont really need a ton of stuff) that they just start picking random things? Still, its ridiculous.
