NEW YORK (CBS NEWS) - It's not every day that an engaged couple asks for a bunch of children's toys as wedding gifts. But that's exactly what Kristin Klingshirn, a host on Atlanta's popular morning radio show "The Bert Show," and her fiancé Bart Mattingly have done.

They decided to dedicate their wedding registry to Bert's Big Adventure (BBA), a non-profit that provides an all-expenses-paid trip to Disney World for chronically or terminal ill children and their families.

"We realized after 10 years together, we pretty much have everything we need," Klingshirn said in a video announcing their idea about a month ago. Instead of asking for pots and pans and fancy china, the couple took kids from BBA to help them register for dozens of toys.
