Good Day everyone,

I need some help from someone who might know: if a couple were going to
get married in London, where might they register for wedding gifts?
Here in the U.S., I can go to the website of any major dept. store and
with the name of the bride and/or groom, I can pull up their gift list.
Is there any major stores in the U.K. where couples do this and I
could find it online?

Thanx,
/J

Try Selfridges, Harrods (for the seriously posh!) John Lewis, House of
Fraser, even good old Marks & Spencer. Not sure about finding them online
though, but it might be worth a try. You might also need to have an idea of
which branch they might be using. Whereabouts do they live? That might be a
clue
HTH
Love & higs
Christine

Thank you, Christine!
I have another question: We have actually been invited to attend this
wedding (wasn't it nice of the bride and groom to plan it for a long
American holiday weekend? ;-) ). My husband and I have never been to
London and have no idea where to stay. I can find a lot of deals for
air + hotel online, but I don't know which is a reasonable hotel near
all the sites of London for a quick weekend excursion (Friday to
Monday). We don't need fancy...we need a clean bed and place to shower.

Any advice? Should I look in central London or any particular area?

Thanks,
Jenn

Where's the wedding Jenn? That might make a difference. Did you find the
weeding gift list BTW?

Love & higs

Sorry to follow up my own post, but I must apologise to the bride & groom
for suggesting that they may be having a "weeding" instead of a wedding.
Although if they were they'd be welcome to have it in my garden; it really
needs it. Why do weeds thrive so much better than plants you want to grow
in dry conditions? Or at least at my house?
Love & higs
Christine
