Transcript:
Cathy: In the old days, couples had nothing and registered for silver tea sets that sat on the credenza for generations. Today, couples have everything and register for DVD players...snowboards...scuba gear...laptops...BMW payments...digital camcorders...home theater systems...massage chairs...night vision binoculors...ipods...and if our lives have already been blessed, donations to charity. Mom: What special things will you have to pass down to the grandchildren? Cathy: Keys to the storage room.
This is actually very good of Cathy, and she is right. Wedding gifts were a necessity in Ye olde days but now people have way too much stuff.
