Okay, well, I know I am not in the mainstream here, but not only do I think asking your guests to pay for your honeymoon is tacky, I actually think wedding registries are tacky. So there. I said it. Does that mean I think people that do register are terrible, tacky people? Not at all! I think it is so common it has lost its "tacky" element. But, hey: I think cursing in public is very tacky, and everyone pretty much accepts that too.
I am getting married in December, and we have not registered anywhere. Even though we are getting married at WDW we have still had people ask what they could get us for a gift. We just smile and say, "Your good wishes are more than enough." Those that are close to us know what they can get us, and they have gotten us wonderful, useful gifts--but it is not expected.
I am more concerned over the sense of entitlement and gimme!gimme!gimme! that pervades our society than I am by the act of registering, per se.
