Practical presents when my daughters got married.

Tweet

We had a lot of money problems when my daughters got married. My husband had been diagnosed with an illness that ended in his death years later and which, up to now, has no cure. Marriage in a special place with a big reception was out of the question so we cooked at home and even made my eldest daughter´s dress. While we were sewing, for my eldest daughter (the one who got married first) I thought that we could give her a sewing machine as a present. She still has it after over 25 years and several life partners. I bought it in installments and then thought of another good idea as my daughter and her husband to be were both very poor as they were studying. I offered to give them a basket with all they would need in a month as soap, shampoo and the like for a year. They were very happy and more so as I extended the period for as long as they were at the University. When my second daughter got married we did the same and she was as happy as her sister.
