Queen of Babble Gets Hitched

The first bridal registry was established by the department store Marshall Field’s in Chicago in 1924. It was created in an effort to help couples keep a list of wedding gifts they desired for their households and soon caught on in shops worldwide.

Tip to Avoid a Wedding Day Disaster
