Whether your style is casual, formal, traditional or contemporary, Waterford is and has always been the perfect choice for couples whom value exquisite style, exceptional quality and overall brilliance in their lives. And you'll see we quite understand commitment. Not one Waterford stemware pattern will ever be discontinued. A Waterford home celebrates lasting bonds - today, tomorrow, a generation from now. You have chosen a partner for life - why not choose another?

Customarily, you pick your china first, then stemware, then flatware. But what really comes first is you! Start by imagining your new life and what you will need to make it reflect your individual style as a couple.

Take note of this: Have you heard of the "Rule of Three"? It means that if you choose two intricate patterns, (such as a highly cut crystal and very decorative flatware), you should select a simple one, for the third pattern. If you decide on two opulent designs, select another that exemplifies exquisite purity. This is a timeless formula, and it works every time.

A great place to get started is the Wish List. That's your own private place to dream, decide - change your mind a dozen times. E-mail a draft to your trusted circle and you will get early and invaluable feedback. They will remember items you might have overlooked (like compatible accent plates), steer you away from choices that are not "you" and, most important, feel special for sharing in your big decisions.

And when you're ready to register, a printout makes a handy checklist to bring with you to the store of your choice.

Congratulations you are on your way!
