Ben and I are going to a wedding this weekend and I purchased the couple a set of plates off their registry. Ben and I love our Fiestaware, that yes, we registered and received 12 settings of, (we each had 6 people in our families was my reasoning). This week, I had to replace my vacuum that was a wedding gift and the only appliances that still works or is used is the can opener (but is in storage b/c it is a mounted one - rental house) and my hand-held mixer. Other than that I have replaced 4 toasters, 3 coffee makers, most of our glasses, & a DVD player. I still have a lot of my cooking ware, but not much of a casserole eater anymore, so they don't get used very often. We still have & use (and are in pretty good shape) all of our JC Penny's collection of pale yellow towels. All new shower curtains & accessories. So, curious what do you still have and use that you received as a wedding gift. And for the newlyweds out there what did you receive that is still in the box OR has already broken and been replaced?? Just wondering...

I still have and use everything. Sheets, towels, appliances (i.e. blender, mixer, toaster), knife set, flatware, original pots and pans (although a friend did give - yes, give! - me a TON of Le Creuset pots and pans, so I use those now), pretty much everything we got for our wedding we use or still have. I don't use any of the crystal stuff (unless we are going to a party, etc.) and I have decorative items that I don't use because my tastes have changed. We got a lot of Christmas decorations since we were married in December and I still have that stuff. I also have all of the pcs. of my dinnerware, but I don't use it. It's kept as my "nicer" stuff I break out for company. We got a complete set of china handed down from Randy's grandma that we do not use, but it's all there too... plus, the silver she handed down too.
In other words... I HAVE IT ALL.
But... we've had to replace our vacuum three times. I must be hard on vacuums.
Lets see....Haven't used any of it for 8 months now, but that's what happens when you have your stuff in storage. Have NEVER used the ice cream maker, fry-daddy, food processor, lazy susan (for the table, not for cakes). You would think that since I was a chef when we married I would use this stuff a lot, but nope-I prefer to hand chop my veggies, and we don't fry food very often. Still use the towels & shower curtain (but I will be replacing when we get our own place again). Most of our nice crystal, china, and decorative stuff is still in boxes for when we buy a house that has REAL storage space.
We celebrated our 17th anniversary in June so the only wedding gift we still have is a personalized wedding frame. Oh, wait, we do have all of our Noritake china, stemware and flatware. Somehow having to handwash all that precludes me from wanting to use it!
and by the way, I believe that my guest bathroom shower curtain was one handed down from you from your wedding.
