A material, a material, a material world

Please note that the Her in question was, at the time of this conversation, very, very angry with her husband.
Her: Don't ever get married. There's no good reason to get married.
Me: I'd do it for the gifts. I've bought high thread count sheets and nice kitchen stuff that I can't afford to buy for myself for about half of the people I know. I want payback.
Her: Oh. Well, yeah, that's a good reason. And you'd only really have to stay married about six months.
So I guess that's settled. Anybody want to marry me for roughly six months? We could split the stuff at the end. I call dibs on the sheets.

Ooh ooh, pick me, pick me! Six months of marriage is probably all I can handle. I'll let you keep the sheets if I can have the Kitchen Aid mixer.

I wish I'd gotten more sheets and less vases. I never need 5 vases at once, but we are still cycling back and forth between our two sets of sheets. I would put up 80% of the crystal gifts against 80% of the cotton gifts in the pre-nup. Just an idea to sweeten the deal.

Can you register for a Batmobile? If so, I'm totally in for a six month sham marriage.
You can even keep the rest of the stuff (except the crock pot, I really want one of those).

This could be a bad idea as you might end up with about 37 silver picture frames with hearts on them and that's about 39 more than any person needs. I believe I "regifted" several of these....but shhhh, don't tell anyone.
However, all the target gift cards you bank on as wedding gifts totally makes up for the picture frames. (o:
