Be Yourself, Together with Target Wedding

Target is one of my favorite destinations, so I was so happy to be invited to share in their “Be Yourself, Together” registry program. It’s no secret that opposites attract, especially when it comes to personal style in a relationship! My challenge was to select an item from the Target Wedding Registry, pair it up with a very different item, and then create a story that harmoniously blends the two.

When I saw the SwissGear luggage in the registry, a whole storyline popped into my head about a couple I call Max & Finley. Max {The Adventurer} is a photographer who loves to travel the world capturing images of exotic locales. Finley {The Nester} is a city girl whose idea of exotic is takeout from the local Thai restaurant down the block.

Finley works in an office all day, so when she comes home she likes to relax in comfort. She loves to set the mood with soft music, comfortable throws and cushions, and she especially loves scented candles. Max feels at home anywhere, but now that Finley will be accompanying him on many of his journeys, how can The Adventurer and The Nester bring a bit of home comfort with them?

With battery operated candles of course! When I went shopping at Target for the second item to go with the luggage, I thought about candles as the perfect registry item for The Nester. But regular candles aren’t always travel-friendly. As I explored the candle aisle, I was thrilled to find flameless versions that can be easily tucked into the side pocket of a carry on bag for safe transport.

Now the happy couple can have the romance of candlelight whether they’re nesting together at home, or camping in a tent in the wilderness! Best wishes to The Nester & The Adventurer, and many thanks to Target for sponsoring this post. Be sure to follow along with the Be Yourself, Together theme with #TargetWedding.
