Perfect Pink Tool Set for My Niece's Wedding
Filed in: Womens Home Repair Stories
My favorite niece gets married today. Actually, she's my only niece but that doesn't stop her from being my favorite just the same.
I pondered for a long time on what to get her for this joyous occasion. Most people probably think I planned to get her some sort of tool and normally they would have guessed right. But this time I shied away from my usual routine.
Not that tools wouldn't have been a great gift idea, especially if the happy couple happen to be tool junkies. One of the first apartments I lived in was owned by a couple of lesbians. They were tool junkies to the Nth degree. They had every imaginable tool you could think of - and a couple you couldn't think of. For their commitment ceremony, the gift table was STACKED with tools.
However, Angela (my niece) is marrying a great guy (Dan) that's super handy and knows his way around tools forwards, backwards, sideways, and upside down. My meddling in the tool department would have sent the wrong message and I could have hurt some feelings. That isn't anyway to go about gift giving.
So what did I get her (them) for their grand day? Well, I have to keep it a secret from you cause she's a regular reader of this blog and I don't want to spoil it. Unfortunately, I'm unable to attend the festivities today cause I'm on the other side of the continent. I'm not happy about that but that's just the way things worked out. I won't be there in person, but I'll definitely be there in spirit and heart.
I wish you, Angela & Dan, two lifetimes of love and happiness!!
