How do feel

About brides under 21 registering for barware and wine accessories?

[heygrey]

Is the husband over 21?

It seems a little odd, but surely she can entertain adults over 21 who would use that stuff. And she won't be underage forever.

I'm just impressed that someone who is <21 is that classy. Unless, you mean a beer pong set when you say "barware" :-p

Does not bother me at all. They will want it someday. Also if the couple is like 20 I really have no problem. There's a point to me when alcohol rules are kind of arbitrary IMO. 16 is a whole another story of which alcohol is the least concern.

20 year old college kids are boozing it up everywhere afterall. Just because she wants to pour her Boone's Farm in a glass doesn't make it any different/better/worse.

Eh.. whatever. Do you really think she's not already drinking anyway?

[statlerwaldorf]

I wouldn't think much about it. I think we might have. I can't remember. DH was of legal drinking age. Also in my state, wives under 21 can drink alcohol when with their husband if their husband is 21+.

[Marmee]

I think it's perfectly fine.

[teeah22]

It cracks me up that you can be old enough to decide who to spend the rest of your life with but not to responsibly enjoy alcohol.

I don't think it matters what's on their registry, they'll be 21 eventually.

This.  However even if the bride isn't of age to drink I'm sure they entertain people in their house who are of age.

Her fiancé is over 21. I know they will be 21 someday. I just kinda laughed and went on. I'm personally not buying it for her though. She's had an interesting life though.

Could not have worded it better myself, MCC.

Well, I think 21 is a silly drinking age. Canadians can drink younger and we are not a nation of hooligans.  

Saying that, it wouldn't bother me at all. If the husband is 21, it is especially benign.

I have only been invited to one wedding where the bride was <21.

Yup.

[pamela]

Texas has the spouse over 21 and you can drink while with them rule as well. Just like you can drink underage with your parents if they provide the alcohol.

This exactly.

[emjacobs]

I have a problem with brides under 21, who cares what they register for.

[sierramist03]

Umm yeah we aren't attending the wedding and aren't getting them much a gift. She had a baby at 16 and gave it up for adoption at age 2 when she graduated hs because she wanted to "normal" and now met this guy and moves around with his job.

[pitterwoo]

wow it's hard to imagine giving up a child for adoption after raising it for 2 years. Yeah, I'd say drinking age is the least of her problems.

[vic1011]

I got married at 19. I think we had wine glasses on our registry, but that was 10 years ago so I don really remember. DH was 21 at the time though.

[cosmowife]

I think it is funny that people in this post are acting like she will be waiting until she is 21 to use this stuff! I think if she is registering for it, then she is probably a bit of a drinker.
