Once upon a time, couples lived at home before marriage and needed everything to set up their new life and home as a married couple.  Today, many couples have lived out of home and have most of the things they need – in fact, they often end up with double the ‘things’ when they move in with their husband/wife.

More and more often, couples are choosing to live together before commiting to marriage.  So, when it comes time for their wedding they don't need the traditional gifts of toasters and towels.
