<Nancy Lee, a 32-year-old international business development manager at Dr. Koop.com, is planning a wedding in September. She and her fianc‚ registered for shares of telecom-equipment provider Qualcomm (QCOM: news, msgs), pharmaceutical company Andrx (ADRX: news, msgs) and Chinese-language Web portal Sina.com (SINA: news, msgs). ?My fianc‚ and I were the poor starving students where the toaster works, but only occasionally, so we don?t have everything,? she said. ?But my wedding is actually going to be very small and I don?t expect to get the toasters and blenders anyhow.? In fact, Lee and her fianc‚ have elected not to register anywhere else. ?I am not a real strong registry person,? Lee said. ?I will probably use this registration more as an online brokerage account, than actually getting a lot of gifts from friends and relatives.? For Lee, registering for shares of SINA.com -- a company that maintains four Chinese-language Web portals that serve Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Chinese speakers in North America -- struck a personal chord. ?My fianc‚ and I are both Chinese, so it's actually a way to be very personalized in terms of supporting something that we all believe in,? Lee said. > cbs.marketwatch.com
