Upon Our Star Introduces a New Breed of Wedding Registry

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bridgeport, Connecticut, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) December 24, 2010 -- A wish gift registry for the modern bride and groom
Bridgeport, CT –December 24, 2010

In a new spin on the traditional wedding registry, Upon Our Star has recently launched an online “wish registry” that allows family and friends to send monetary gifts to help the couple work toward their goals and aspirations. Instead of requesting appliances, linens, household decor, and other conventional bridal registry items, couples can list anything that is important to them, from wedding expenses to favorite charities. Guests can then log on to make secure contributions toward the item of their choice.

Operated by a dedicated team of wedding aficionados, with Fortune 100 management expertise, the UponOurStar wish registry satisfies a growing need for modern brides and grooms who value financial security more than traditional wedding gifts. “Today’s brides are more concerned with paying off debts and saving money than getting expensive china or flatware,” notes Managing Director, Mariko Takeuchi. “And busy wedding guests don’t have time to shop around for the perfect gift. UponOurStar.com satisfies both needs by allowing for easy online donations toward what’s most important to the couple.”

There are no rules or limitations to what the bride and groom can add to their wish bridal registry. Many couples include the items and services they need for their big day, such as a wedding gown, DJ, flowers, and rings, which can incur a massive debt (averaging $25,000 for a typical newly-wed couple) if paid for out of pocket. Others request monetary gifts toward their honeymoon, home improvements, or even a down payment on a house. “There’s still the fun of creating a wish list, but it’s practical too,” Mariko notes. “I consider it an inspirational investment in the couple’s financial future, by their loved ones.”
All transactions occur in a secure online environment using state-of-the-art encryption, so family and friends can rest assured their financial information is fully protected.
