Need ideas for a wedding gift

Belleek china makes a really pretty Marriage Blessing Plate

The Irish Marriage Blessing is:

"May God be with you and bless you
May you see children's children
May you be poor in Misfortune
Rich in blessings
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward."

or

"May joy and peace surround you both,
contentment latch your door,
and happiness bewitch you now
and God bless you evermore."

Or you can use those words on a picture background with a really pretty frame.

Not sure what you want to spend, but, Waterford Crystal has beautiful picture frames, bowls and a stunning bride and groom statue. I gave the bride & groom statue to one of my dh's worker when he got married (they eloped also) and they absolutely loved it. I think it was alittle less then $200.00, but, if you want to spend less and are considering crystal - look at their picture frames, they are beautiful.

I have that bride & groom - it was my cake topper. We got soooo lucky, when were purchasing it at Marshall Fields, James O'Leary, who is the head designer for Waterford (he actually designed that piece) was there autographing the pieces. So I waited in line and when we got up to the "Robert Palmer Girls" I asked for a personal inscription - they said Mr. O'Leary is too busy to personalize.....I was dissapointed. When I got to him - he said "are you the bride that wants this personalized" I said yes, he asked our names, and date of the wedding and he signed his name too. Now we go to him twice a year for pieces and I'm referred to as the "bride"

Ducklite, Sorry for the tangent.
