Today I stumbled on a video of one couple who claimed to have created "The World's First Start-up Wedding Registry." Drue Kataoka and Svetlozar Kazanjiev are asking friends and relatives to donate to their new internet company, Aboomba, in hopes that wedding guests would rather give money towards their new business than buying them a toaster.
