 W is for Washer and Dryer

I know of a Bride and Groom who only wanted two things as a wedding gift. . . a Washer and Dryer.  So, the Bride's family created a "Washer fund" and the Groom's family created a "Dryer fund".  Each person contributed what they would spend for a bridal shower gift and a wedding gift.

 T is for Thank You Notes

Just saying "Thank You" is only half the job.  If someone takes the time to buy you a gift, than you should take the time to write them a "Thank You" note.

 S is for Safe Deposit Box

As a married couple, you will have lots of "important papers and documents", like your Certificate of Marriage.  You need to purchase a fire proof metal security box or rent a safe deposit box for these "important papers".  A fire proof metal security box can be purchased at general merchandise stores like Target or Walmart or office supply stores like Office Depot or on the internet.

 Ring for for Ring Princess . . 

Traditionally the wedding rings are carried in and/or held by either the Best Man or the Ring Bearer.  Many weddings ago, I married a couple who wanted one of their daughters to be a Flower Girl and the other daughter to carry in the rings.  The girls' Father said, "We going to call her The Ring Princess".  When the girls walked down the aisle, the Bride and Groom asked me to announce their names and what their titles were as a surprise to the girls.  The Ring Princess wore a tiara and a big smile when she walked down the aisle.
