Grooms Gift Box

[Ingrid 18 April 2009]

Hey Miss K

Can I ask whats in this box - i love the idea may have to steal it!!

Hey Miss Ings

It is sure to be playing on your nerves,
as our wedding day is here.
So I have put together a special gift,
Read on and it shall become clear.


At first appearance the ‘groom’ socks
may just seem kind of sweet.
But really they have a purpose,
they are for you if you get ‘cold feet’


You will find I added a 5 cent piece,
And I know this isn’t much honey,
But it is in there to reassure you,
that we always have some money.


Marbles are placed in the kit,
and you may be wondering why.
They are in case you lose your own,
So your best to keep them close by.


As the day draws near – sleep?
you may not have received an ounce.
So for that reason I have enclosed Berocca,
To give you back that B B Bounce!


You will find one piece of string,
Which is lighter then a feather.
The reason for this is one day,
We may need help to hold it all together.


Just like our relationship,
We can watch these seedlings grow.
A marriage takes time and patience,
in time it will start to show.


You will be stretched way beyond your limit,
and feeling frustrated at times.
So here is a rubber band to help you stretch beyond,
and to stop you committing any crimes.

This padlock has a special job,
It’s to keep our relationship locked tight
It will secure our friendship and love
And help us overcome any fight.


Mints & a chap stick are very important,
For that first kiss as man & wife.
As it’s the very first kiss we will share,
Signifying the beginning of the rest of our life.

All my love is for you,
So I have enclosed this lolly heart.
It shows you have always had mine,
Even from the very start.

After months & months of planning
Your nerves are probably frayed,
But don't despair, I have a gift for you
Good old ‘Jack’ will come to your aid

Last but not least,
I have left the most special gift till last.
A watch for you to keep,
As I know time can move so fast.

We need to always remember,
As time fly’s on by
We should always make time for you and me,
And do our best to try.

I hope that through out our lives together,
You will hold fond memories from this gift,
And place it close to your heart,
Because I know it will never drift.

I will wrap up each present with the verse of the poem, and have it numbered in the order he must open them.

Then in an envelope down the bottom, ill have the poem in one piece!

Just some of the things in the box imply it is near the wedding...not the wedding day...

Hmmm the morning would have more meaning tho i think...cos we cant get talk, etc...so he'll feel my presence and have something from me.. (does that sound silly??)

Doesn't sound silly at all!

oh MISS K Thats fantastic!!
Love it!!
I think my H2B wants to play golf in the morning and then lunch with the boys... Maybe suggest that to the boys so they dont have to sit around all day while you get the pampering?

[~NoLongerMissK~]

Yeah H2B has already mentioned once i think about golf. Im sure they will find something :) He reckons he will have a cat nap hehehe YEAH RIGHT!!!
