There was a long list of gifts to choose from. The bride and groom had put down everything they wanted so no duplicate gifts would be given to them. The girls looked it over. There was a lamp that was attractive, but a little too expensive they thought. There were silver candlesticks but the price on them was too high as well.
The bride-to-be was a gourmet level cook so they checked the cooking utensils on the list. The set of name brand cookware was priced out of their range. Then they spotted a possibly perfect gift. It was a grouping of kitchen knives, one for every possible use under the sun. They thought that might be a suitable gift for the person who loved to cook from scratch.
They agreed it was a good idea. After all a frying pan could be used as a weapon if they got into a fight. Yes, but so could the wusthof knife set be dangerous in a fight. The set was very attractive they decided. We should look at the whole list before ordering, they decided.
They laughingly decided the bride would think of them every time she chopped carrots or sliced chicken breasts in half to stuff them with something delicious. They both enjoyed her chicken cordon bleu. Let’s look at all of them they said to each other.
There was another set, a henckels knife set that caught their eye. They examined it and several others but had a hard time choosing which one to order. They went over to shop for dresses while they thought it over. They would return in about an hour.
They went through the entire jewelry department as they usually did. We won’t have to wear pink earrings I hope, they said to each other. We’ll look like live Barbie dolls walking down the aisle, they agreed and broke into laughter.
What will our bridesmaid dresses look like, they wondered. They already hated the color, pink. Both girls played soccer and tennis and were not girly-girls. Pink would have been their last choice. They agreed the bride knew them well enough to avoid dressing them in pink. Now they had to buy pink shoes too. Yikes!
Then, returning to the bridal registry, they looked over all the merchandise again. They decided on a kitchen knife set they both liked. Shortly after that they went back to the bridal registry. After looking for a few minutes they ordered the third kitchen knife set they saw. After checking the guarantee and the brand name, they purchased it using a credit card. Now they could cross it off the gift list and head for home to start dinner.
