How to handle wedding registries? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Hi all! I'm going to be married later this year, and everyone is asking me to get a registry together... but I don't really "need" anything. I've been living in an apartment and so I have most everything I need, and I reject the notion that just because I'll be married, that people "need" to get me something. For people that feel like they should gift me something, I'd love to just ask for cash so that I can save for when I truly need something, but I'm sure that there are those who will tell me that they don't want to do that. Do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks!

Jewelry, because you can sell it and its small, so you can also easily store it. But be aware that jewelry costs usually more in stores than you can later sell it for.

Oh yeah, and maybe swords and javelins, because you can decorate your walls with them, cut stuff and also defend your partner from burglars, should the need arise... and you can sell them as well.
