Well... in our society, i've noticed people do things the way they want to. Period. Yet, original thinking isnt in their vocabulary, so they feel they have to "follow the rules"... that arent inconvienient.
Now, for what you consider rude... lemme try and lighten your distress. a) I was always told that you're supposed to put a few expensive gifts on the registery for person who want to "throw in" on a gift. Example, in my family - its customary for the cousins (when we were under 30) to throw in to get one large gift, because we werent... finacially stable enough to get gifts individually. My fiance says his family does something similar. b) Honeymoon registries... i dont nessicarily agree with them, but i understand the philosophy behind them. After living together for so many years before getting married - your household is already established, so a gift registery is rather redundent. c) as for kids... thats a total personal taste thing... sometimes kids, in some peoples opinions, get in the way.
I think, to each his own. I'm more inconvienced by traveling great distances between ceremony and reception, weddings on holidays, and things of that type are more troubling and "disrespectful" to me... than the other lil stuff.
Personal opinion.
