Yeah, I am sending and have sent thank you cards to everyone who has given us a present. Gosh, you got loads!!! Candles really seem to be a popular present so. We are getting our presents into a cardboard box and into the attic too.

We got a good bit of cash, a few vases, a Newbridge candle-type-thing, a photo frame and Galway crystal wine glasses. We weren't expecting anything, didn't think people 'did' engagement presents anymore. We were saving the cash for a weekend away, then our dishwasher died so we had to use it to replace that

I didn't expect presents but got quite a few. 2 lovely frames, 2 really nice Newbridge cadles, steak knives, Newbridge cutelry, set of dessert spoons and forks, denby bowl, voucher, money (for a new matress), a rug, lovely napkin holders, champagne, and a few bits and bobs. Nice gifts.

I didnt expect any prezzies but we got a set of tipperary crystal candle sticks, a dinner set, about 400euro, 2 x picture frames, a duvet set, cutlery set, a wedding planner and loads of little bits and pieces.(mostly kitchen things even though we are living together over 4 years!!) MIL2b also organised and paid for a dinner for 12 to celebrate.
