Couple weeks ago me & my boyfriend attended a gay wedding. Our two friends got married with a lovely ceremony. It was by the lake in the woods (romantic!) Like every classic gay wedding groom & groom kept their dog next to them during ceremony...
Anyway I’m not here to talk about wedding details. I just want to talk about wedding gift registries. My friends made a very interesting choice. Unlike straight couples they didn’t choose Tiffany or William- Sonoma. They registered Distinctive Honeymoons. Yep! They will fly to Rio and transfer to Lima. They will spend time with monkeys, mountains & insects. What a honeymoon! (Yawning !!!!) Distinctive Honeymoon did a GREAT job, I guess. Anyway I’m not here to judge.
All the guests were asked to contribute their honeymoon. Interesting! Isn’t it? I have never heard of it before! Very creative! Honeymoon was divided portions. Like “Toast to the Newlyweds! Bottle of Champagne” is requested one quantity for $75 or breakfast in the bed is requested one quantity for $50 or Airplane ticket from Rio to Lima 5 quantities requested for $100 each. List goes on and on.
I started thinking about gay weddings gift registry. Those same sex couple weddings just started, I’m sure gays will come up very intriguing & clever ideas. Yeah! We are more creative! You know!
How about my wedding and my registry?? Eventually my partner will pop the question (He’d better!!! or I will get better & younger one!!). I thought about for a while I came up couple of ideas.
First Idea—We can register Astor Place liquor store. They have great selection wine and high quality hard liquor. They do deliver. They are great. We can pick the most expensive bottles of red wine, white wine, VODKA, bourbon, tequila. You name it BABY! 5 years worth alcohol supply is guaranteed!! So good! I mean let’s admit gay couples are no different than straight couples. After honeymoon is over, just like any other couples, problems start. No talking at the dinner table, little fights, cranky mornings & no bother to keep their fart in!! Just realese! ( eewww!) . We need those gallons and gallons liquor to get through this marriage!!! ( P.S. If liquor store sounds tacky, I can change that to drink tickets at nice gay bars. I'm flexible!!!)
Second Idea-- We can register some kind of spa like Why Not mens spa in Chelsea. Wouldn’t it be great!!! Our friends would pay for massages, acne treatment, foot rejuvenation, luxurious luscious lips treatment or pumpkin peel facial (although pumpkin peel sounds gross. Who cares! It is free!!!!!) I would remember during any treatment who bought this nice gift ( surreee!!!!) At the end of the day we are newlyweds! We need to stay moist, smooth & fluffed. So my friends!!! Come help us!! Buy us gifts!Third Idea—This one is easy and predictable. We can register to Atlantis gay cruise. Our friends can buy portions of cruise, but of course there is a twist. CHECK THIS! I could connect registration with some kind of clothing store like Barneys, so our guests can buy tiny little Speedos, expensive flip flops, white party and mardi gras party outfits, SEXY jock straps for naughty nights. Thinking over again!! Screw Atlantis gay cruise!!! We can pay for that. I will connect Barneys with a blue store. Guests can contribute for lubs, condom & porn DVDs, some kinky toys to spice up our marriage. BETTER!!! (GENIUS!)
Honestly the whole idea of registering to a place for gifts is bizarre to me. Straight couples pick places like Tiffany. They always end up with so many nick-nack! Prices are outrages. You can barely afford two crystal highballs meanwhile they requested 8 of those. Ooops! Sorry! Shit happens! Make it work with these two or buy the rest your own.
How about my gay friend’s gift registery? Going from Rio to Lima airplane tickets are sold out, but how about coming back?? Oooppss sorry so expensive! You guys are young! There is always hitchhiking!!!
Why can’t people give money to newlywed couples like Jews from New Jersey!!! Come on! Don’t say tacky! They can do what ever they want to with that money. It is much better than buying two ugly crystal ashtrays for $350!!
Well I have a GREAT idea. For my wedding I will register to Chase Bank deposit account. My guests can make direct deposits! (THE WAY MORE GENIUS!!! CLASSY! It is better extra bottles of lub)

lol - way more creative, indeed!
I love all your ideas and why not...gay and straight people could do gift registries like this. Cruise vs. boring Crate and Barrel...you're right..gay people are so much more creative! Hilarious post. I'm a big fan.
Sure. Anyone can register for anything for any occasion they want. If it's a celebration, and they've invited guests, and want to register, why not, assuming they know their own circle of friends and family well enough to know how well they're responded to where they register.
More interesting than our reportage of the state of gay gift giving is your revelation that you are yearning to be married to your beloved!!
But why are you waiting for him to ask you? What is the protocol with proposing when you are two gay guys??
Curious.
Hey Cory!
I don't know. I thought he should ask since I'm younger than him.-:)
