Dad's Wedding
Permalink  

I need some help!

My dad is getting re-married on the 30th - and I'm not sure what an appropriate wedding gift would be. My normal procedure is house-type gift for the bridal shower/engagement and then cash for the wedding - but somehow giving cash isn't really appropriate in this case.

Any ideas out there on what would be a nice tasteful, sentimental-make-him-cry kind of gift?

I'm totally stuck - I've never had a parent remarry before - and most of the people I know haven't either..

If the new 'bride' is taking his surname - why not give them a plaque with the history of the surname on it - there might even be a coat of arms...


Worked a treat with my old man when he re-married - just a thought - failing that, some fluffy handcuffs...

Gah! The very LAST image I needed to wake up to on a Sunday was one of my father and fuzzy handcuffs

But thanks for the suggestion hehe - that might very well be something to consider

I don't have to imagine anything - the two of them are like horny pre-teens who can't keep their hands of each other most of the time.

And they have all these cutesy pet names for each other... gag!

I love them both dearly, and I'm extremely pleased my father has found someone like her - but gah! Enough already!

heheh

Erm, my father aside, most guys don't want something like this? Get him an engraved something, like a watch or beer mug.

Nah my dad's a big sentimental mushhead like I am.

He has kept every greeting card I've ever given him. All of them.

He cried at my wedding - he cried driving us to the airport for our honeymoon - cries while looking at the photo album - cried when he found out about his soon to be grandchild - my dad is a walking hallmark commercial.

Yet surprisingly, he's incredibly intimidating to a lot of people. He kind of looks like a mean Mr. Clean with enough tattoos to look like a tattoo artist's flash cards.

Variation on a theme:  Two engraved watches.  One for a boy and one for a girl.  With some suitably soppy message on em?

Why a horse (other than that you kinda look like one... only not so pretty)?
