Shopping for wedding gifts!

Now -- this is my kind of shopping -- being a guy that is!
Today my wife and I went to Target to select a gift for a wedding we will be attending later this month.  We feel very honored to be attending the wedding; of all things; a food server at one of our favorite restaurants.  We have struck up a friendly relationship with Jorge who told us about a month ago that he is marrying another lovely gal who also works in the same restaurant.  We stopped by last weekend to offer our regrets for not being able to attend but we found out we had the wrong date.  Good news is that we can still attend.  He also introduced us to his fiance Stephanie.  He is only 27 years old; was a high school dropout at 14 and now is working two jobs. They just closed escrow on their first house.  We are very amazed and impressed with his ambition and his dedication to his wife to be.  They make a lovely couple.  We are looking forward to the wedding which will have primarily many Mexican families attending.  I'm sure they will be wondering who these two "white peopl" are!  Jorge is sincere and a very genuine person and we truly feel honored.

The best part of shopping today?  It is the gift registry!  It makes gift giving a real pleasant experience as we know we selected something the couple really want.  It is amazing to see the gift list of these two very young people.  They need the essential staples of starting a home and a life together.  Nothing extravagant or outlandish!
