You and your hubby-to-be share a passion for exotic foods, and besides each other, Italian pastries are your greatest amore. Your idea of a kitchen 'must have' is a Panini maker, not a mixer. Now's the perfect time to gather all of those 'always wanted to own but never bothered to buy' items and post them on your bridal registry. Your eclectic taste in appliances is no shocker to your friends, so add that great rice cooker for home sushi parties and don't forget the perfect espresso machine to make macchiato at midnight.

When you entertain, you want your dining accessories to reflect who you are and how you live your life, and you're no white china woman! Choose at-home dining wares that show off your style and your fascination with trends around the world. Sign up for a great decanter to let your favorite fine wine breathe, plus a beautiful set of wine glasses to complement it. Need the perfect serving dish for your famous super-spicy guacamole? Enchanted by Asian ceramics? Any and all of these picks are sure to pique the interest of even the most daring Adventure Bride.

You and your sweetheart enjoy exploring the world more than anything, so register for some fabulous travel accessories to enhance your next big trip. For your upcoming honeymoon, you'll need the ultimate luggage and travel clock, and of course, what world traveler these days leaves home without a portable GPS in their pocket? Going somewhere off the beaten path where they don't speak one of your languages? Take an electronic 12 language translator to guide you in any linguistic situation. Before you leave, check the plug shape of your destination and pack in an electric converter to avoid bad hair days.

So where did you meet? On a rafting trip? Or biking across Europe? Use your wedding registry to enhance your hobbies together. Your bridal registry is about you and your new life as a 'we', and not about convention and what people expect to see. Register for a kayak, fitness equipment, or even events you can attend together. Make your friends happy by letting them know what you really want, whatever it is.
