Wedding Gift Registry for second wedding

This is my second marriage and his first. He wants to register for gifts but I feel a little greedy asking people to buy gifts for me again. I don't want him left out of traditions but I am not sure how to handle this issue. I just want to do what is right for him and me both. Is it OK to regoster for gifts for a second wedding?Please help me do the right thing!!!!!!!

From an etiquette standpoint is it acceptable for you to register. People can choose to give, or not give, gifts. You're not demanding that they make a purchase but, if they want to send a gift, they know what you need or want from the registry.I find that most couples family and friends are very happy for them and want to support them, this includes sending gifts to show their esteem.

Sounds like you are not feeling comfortable about it though so be sure to discuss this with your groom completely.
