Book of Candles

Wanted to briefly share with you one of our favorite gifts from our showers. This is Jeanne's book of candles.




Isn't it special? We totally heart it.
 The poem reads:

"A box of candles for Jason & Greta

A box of candles that come in a pair
In all different colors for you two to share
The white ones burn first
They are wrapped in white lace
To celebrate your first married night
In your new chosen place
The green pair is taller, and also much thinner
Burn with the first company you have over for dinner
The dark blue candles are for after your first fight
Use them to burn while making up all night
Pink candles set the mood and pave the way
For your first married Valentine's Day
Now when your first year of marriage is through
The cream anniversary pair will light for you two
Red candles aflame, both your futures are bright
Celebrate promotions you've worked toward with all of your might
By this time we hope, maybe just maybe
You can light the purple ones, on the birth of your baby
And just when you thought, you'd put these away
Take the light blue ones out for your fifth anniversary day
Now just one more pair left, for the big two five
The anniversary pair that will keep your love alive
Congratulations Jason and Greta
On the start of your forever
May the two of you always be happy together
And burn these candles
Just the way we said
But please don't forget-blow them out before bed!"


cute, huh? This would be a great DIY wedding present. I'm sure I will steal at least some of this. Thanks to Jeanne for her amazing creativity, love and support. We love you!
