I don't know how long it has been a tradition, and I don't know if it is falling out of favor now, but when we got married, my wife put a china set on our gift registry. Having a china cabinet, full of china, is important for some women.
So we have a dedicated cabinet, a china cabinet, full of expensive china.
We've been married "a long time" now. How often do you think we've used that china?
Go ahead. Take a guess.

If you guessed ZERO, you are correct.
It just sits in the corner of the room, collecting dust.
I found out after we married that one of my wife's family members told one of my family members people shouldn't bother buying the china for us, because it would never be used. That person was right. The people who spent the money on that could have bought us gifts we actually would have used.
This is just one of many ways modern marriage and wedding culture is impractical.
Avoid it, guys!
I never understood that China thing.
