One day a young(ish) boy arrived at the house of a gorgeous girl. Sally answered the door to find James with a toaster in one hand and a sofa in the other. “Oh!” she exclaimed, pointing disappointedly at the electrical item. “I already have one of those.” James ignored the weight of the couch on his slender frame and remarked, “Ah, but can it do four slices at once?” Sally had to admit that it couldn’t, so she happily beckoned him into her home, suggesting he drop the couch in a convenient place before his back broke and his quiff sagged. Keen to impress Sally with his extra large gadget, James had plugged it in and lobbed four crumpets into the slots before Sally could say, “Did we actually agree that co-habiting so soon was the best way to steer our relationship forward?” Only as the circular quadruplets began to brown did Sally notice the kilos of crumbs grinning sadistically back at her from deep within the mechanism. “Oh well,” she sighed, heading for the sink, “What’s another thing to scrub when you’re head over heels in love?” Bending down to her ‘bottom drawer’, she retrieved a dishcloth with heavy heart, ignoring the view through the window to the street outside as cars queued up impatiently behind the upturned sofa.
And the moral of the story is that we already have everything we need to fill our happy home. Therefore, in terms of presents, your presence at our wedding is enough.
However, if you would still like to contribute to us celebrating our married life, here are some suggestions below:
Something for the honeymoon… (we’re going to St. Lucia)
– Romantic evening meal
– Sunset cruise
– United States Dollars
Something for the house…
– B and Q vouchers
– Q and B vouchers
– Rolled Steel Joist for the extension
Something for the garden…
– Barton Grange vouchers
– Garden furniture
– Paving slabs
Something for our first year of marriage…
– Cinema / theatre tickets
– Evening meal vouchers
– Camping trips (we’ve already got two tents)
Something for the baby
– Only joking!
…or just buy us a drink at the wedding reception. James will have a Rusty Nail, which is fortunate as Sally always keeps a strong pair of pliers in her garter. And Sally will have a white wine and lemonade (no red wine near that dress!)
If you did have something specific in mind, then by all means email us at sallymakinson@hotmail.com
