@georgetakei when we got married umpteen years ago we had a standard registry. Nice China and wineglasses that we’ve used 3 times in over 30 years
We got some cash. A generous check from a family friend enabled us to not cut our honeymoon short. It was unexpected but appreciated. And many presents we returned.
I look around my house and see a number of thoughtful wedding gifts. I have no idea who gave most of them.
