What is appropriate for the gift registry?
Okay my fiance and I have both owned our own home before getting together, so we have two of a lot of the normal things people ask for on registries like toaster ovens, crockpots etc. I have my grandmothers china, and there really is not anything we NEED.
I figured we could register for a matching pot and pan set since ours are mix and match and old, some camping gear since we both love to camp but do not have a lot of it, but past that there is just not a lot we need and we don't have a lot of space for extra things.
Would it be rude to ask for money towards our honeymoon and for paying off my student loans in place of a gift? I feel like it is, but yet if that is truly what we need, then why not? If you think it is okay to ask, how would you word it on the registry info or how would you get the word out?

Its okay to ask for things you don't really need. Traditionally, people buy those kinds of things for wedding presents because couples would be just getting their homes together. When you ask would ask for birthday presents, you asked for what you wanted, right? Register for things you'll actually use, not just something you're supposed to register for just because. And it's perfectly fine to ask for money. It's something you're going to use, right? They've even got registries that you can register for a honeymoon and your gift givers can all contribute to it separately. If you just ask for straight out cash though, make sure you've got someone you trust to accept the cash gifts for you at the reception.
