Klingshirn said she and fiance Bart Mattingly decided they didn't need the normal items included on a wedding registry.

So they decided to use the registry to raise donations for Bert's Big Adventure, a not-for-profit organization that provides trips to Walt Disney World for children with chronic and terminal illnesses and their families.

Supporters have bought more than 3,200 gifts for the charity so far, and Klingshirn said she plans to keep adding items to the registry.
