I have been MIA for a couple of weeks- I just really don't have a lot of good material lately, and I feel like I am boring y'all with wedding details. Really, that's pretty much all that's on my mind recently, so I don't have much else to say.
So, keeping with the theme- what was your most special wedding gift? My grandmother wants to give us something that will be special. Something that we will look at years from now that will have a special place in our hearts, and we can say that my grandmother gave it to us.
I'm really drawing a blank as to what that might be. Did any of you receive something really special that will be a gift just like the one I am describing? If so, please share! Or, if you haven't received anything like that, but have something in mind, please share that as well.
Thanks, and stay tuned on Thursday for a book review of The Beach Trees, by Karen White!
This is sad, but I can't think of one specific thing! We got some lovely gifts that I look at and I remember who gave them to us and appreciate it (champagne flutes, some vases, etc.). The most memorable gifts we got were the hilarious ones - like the set of harlequin joker-style clown bookends that one of Chris' aunts gave us (yikes) or the silver tray with a herd of charging, rampaging elephants carved into it (again, yikes)! Those are the gifts that I remember the most, ha ha!
ReplyDeleteI have a unhealthy obsession with tugboats and Clay has an unhealthy obsession with Charleston. Someone we know came across a map of Charleston Harbor from 1959 that was on an old tugboat. It is now framed and hanging in our living room. It was a fairly simple gift, but it meant a lot to us.
ReplyDeleteMy mom also got our wedding invitation engraved into a piece of glass. It's pretty neat.

The Christmas between my engagement and wedding, my grandmother gave us the cake knife in her (now my) silver pattern. We used that knife to cut our wedding cake. It ended up being a perfect way for her to be included in our wedding, as she was not able to be there.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother gave us a watercolor painting of the church ehere we were married. That was certainly ine of the most special gifts we received.
