Is It Appropriate For Professional Athletes To Have A Wedding Registry?
Philly.com writer Dan Gross’ article about Philadelphia Phillies slugger Ryan Howard fiancee Krystle Campbell’s upcoming appearance on TLC’s Say Yes To The Dress has sparked some conversation in the Ride The Pine headquarters for something that was briefly mentioned. The article makes reference to the couple’s wedding registry at Macy’s, where the requests range from Swarovski crystal toasting flutes to 13-inch washcloths.
Is it appropriate for professional athletes to have a wedding registry? Especially really successful ones. Ryan Howard is scheduled to make $20 million this year and around $115 million over the next five years.
It looks bad that a multi-millionaire is asking for $10 wash clothes from his guests. I know that sometimes celebrities will either decline gifts or ask that donations are made to the couples’ favorite charity. Although I also understand how Campbell, a teacher and former Philadelphia Eagles cheerleader, has probably always dreamed about putting together a wedding registry and most likely reality has yet to sink in that money is no longer an issue for her once that marriage certificate is signed.
