Eccentriczebpajamas, congrats!
Fellow hEDS, got married last July (pre-diagnosis), and I think I’ve got some ideas for you:
For the shoes, not sure where to look - I have really HUGE feel (size 12-13 women’s), so I struggled too, but ended up finding a cheap pair that looked great and kinda worked for me. They were tolerable but not comfortable, and I regret not focusing more time on finding a better pair.
For the registry, I’ve had really good luck with the OXO Good Grips series of stuff (their handles are chunky enough that I don’t tend to sublux my fingers, even gripping hard)
The can opener I use is a blue version of this one: (OXO Good Grips Can Opener https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004OCJW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_5-Z.zbZ5E94HD)
They also have a kitchen starter set that might be good to work with:(OXO Good Grips 15-Piece Everyday Kitchen Tool Set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000IELD9A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Ka0.zbT8JYQX5)
When I can cook, I use these gloves instead of potholders - they’re great for the heat, don’t require as much hand strength/fine motor skills as potholders would, and also do a great job at gripping/opening stuck can lids: (Silicone Oven Gloves Extra Thick Heat Resistant Oven Mitts from Aocome, for Cooking Grilling BBQ and Baking, Quilted Cotton Lining, Waterproof Non-Slip Grip Food Grade Safe 1 Pair https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J76A9AI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_id0.zbEAKKA40)
For sitting, this chair is my favorite. Looks goofy, but hurts WAY less than anything else I’ve tried:

A WiFi blood pressure monitor like the one from Nokia (I have the older Withings version) can be great for helping keep track of your overall health (along with things like FitBits, WiFi thermometers, etc., if you’re into that: (Nokia BPM+ – Compact Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071F2MC29/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Qg0.zb3J5YKKN)
Finally, if you have room, a shower stool can be super helpful if you spend too many spoons in one place and struggle to stand up in the shower (there are lots of types, including pretty wooden ones, but this type is really easy to assemble): (Medokare Shower Stool with Padded Seat - Shower Seats for Seniors with Tote Bag, Shower Bench Bath Chair, Handicap Shower Seat for Adults, Shower Stools and Benches https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XXZQ4XS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_mj0.zb5C9TRYX)
Oh! And bonus last-minute add: overhead lights that you can turn off from your phone, so you can go to bed and THEN turn off the lights, instead of trying to fumble your way across your room in the dark (they can also turn your room into a bright rainbow disco, if you’re into that): (Philips Hue 464479 60W Equivalent White and Color Ambiance A19 Starter Kit, 3rd Generation, Works with Amazon Alexa https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y3QXSGX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_0l0.zb2N2PB53)
Good luck, and I hope you have a wonderful wedding day!
...ETA, this set of pots and pans! They have big rubbery handles that are easy to work with, and they’re easy to clean - they can go straight into the dishwasher: (The Pioneer Woman Vintage Speckle 10-Piece Non-Stick Pre-Seasoned Cookware Set (Turquiose) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014X6NQI4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ov0.zb32WQSJ3)
Thank you for taking the time to respond and also for giving us such a great new idea. Heres an update. Watching porn together is NOT something that we will be doing in the near future. I can respect that. Now you bring up a great new opportunity. Im not a huge reader but she is. Maybe having her search out something she finds erotic and then having her read to me, might be an option. Thanks you very much for your help with this.
We also really enjoy the lighting in our bedroom. They are Phillip Hue colored bulbs and flameless candles
This starter kit seems the best way to go, unless you want to go with white.

Here, you get 2 bulbs and a hub.
Just the hub is about $48, so the bulbs are more like $25 each.
Or you could go with https://www.amazon.com/Philips-Hue-Equivalent-Compatible-Assistant/dp/B06Y3QXSGX/ref=sr_1_12?keywords=hue+kit&qid=1550434393&s=hi&sr=1-12, three bulbs and a hub.
Or, check out your local Bed Bath and Beyond and see if they still have any on clearance.
In my room I have this setup; my PC is connected to an A/V Receiver that goes to TV out, a usb infrared mce sensor (not this one), a logitech harmony 650 universal remote and a kit of philliphs hue lights for software I use eventghost and ScreenBloom to give a touch of ambiance to the room, with all things set up I just press one button on the harmony remote and it turns on the A/V receiver, tv, run the ScreenBloom app to fade the lights and opens steam in big picture, I also have some shortcuts for the SC Chord button to control the lights while gaming.
although I don't know if it would work if you stream your PC to TV with Steamlink or the like, since my setup is for a PC that is directly attached to and in proximity of your TV.
Prices may have changed since your comment but here's what I see right now:
Color bulbs were $50 a piece a la carte not long ago, and they're $32 on Amazon right now. The color starter kit with 3 bulbs has been $180-200 but is $150 right now.
(50-32) ~= (200-150) / 3 so this seems inline

Now that Amazon has built-in a Hue compatible hub into the new Echo, you can start using Hue bulbs without buying the Phillips hub. Maybe other IoT voice hubs will do this too. So I think the hub is trending downward for basic users. Although I don't think the mini hubs like Echo Dot have it, so maybe not.
Is this the 3rd generation or 2nd? I dont understand why a 3 bulb starter kit (3rd gen) is selling 10 bucks more.

I've actually read (though not sure if true) that more melatonin will actually worsen the situation.
The ideal dose is 0.5 to 1.0mg as I understand it.
MUCH more important though, darkness. It should be BLACK where he sleeps.
For 2-3 hours before trying to go to bed he should avoid all lights unless they're a very warm color. Blue light will affect his circadian rhythm. This is the case even in many blind people.
Key points:
Yeah, they're a little pricey but I think they're worth it. You can get them from amazon. They work with Alexa too.
Haha, thanks! Yes, you need a hue hub and then however many bulbs you want. I think it's a bit overpriced for what it is but I do really like the effect :-)
I used these to mount them to the wall:

You can just use a standard picture hanger and those mounts just hang on it.
This starter kit should get you what you need to get rolling with hue.

These are numbered by what questions have been answered!
This contest was great tbh. Id liked looking at your list and other such stuff to do this. not too hard but still involving. nice work!
Philips hue lighting is awesome, a little pricey so you may want to contain it to a media or living room. You can sync the lights to movies, music and control them through a smartphone or laptop.
