Committed: The Ties that Bond
with Angella Dykstra
I'm a mom of three, a professional accountant, and an amateur photographer and writer. I am not a marriage expert. But my husband and I take "Til death do us part" seriously, and here I'll be sharing how we keep our marriage strong while we both do that insane work-life juggle.
Check out my Work It, Mom! profile and my blog, Dutch Blitz.
I came across an article over at MSN.com that I thought would be a fun one to share on a Friday: “Weirdest Wedding Gifts Ever.”
Most of the items listed are pretty funny, in my humble opinion.
“Fake vomit.” Really?
“24 double rolls of toilet paper.” Um, thanks?
“A bronze bust of myself.” Ha!
“Autographed picture of Bret Michaels.” AWESOME.
We (sadly) didn’t get any weird wedding gifts, just a few that weren’t quite us and were exchanged.
How about you? Did you get any weird wedding gifts?

I got a smoothie maker. We didn’t ask for a smoothie maker, but the card attached was full of all kinds of hilarious blender puns, so it was well appreciated.

I’ve never been married (duh) but when my sister was married she and her husband received a big wooden bowl, a huge back of macaroni noodles, a gigantic jar of mayo and some serving spoons. The fixings of a macaroni salad?!
Bonus- it was from her father-in-law and his wife.

I can win contests with this story. One of my husband’s friends got us a custom made copper longhorn that had my initials on one side and his initials on the other. With a big Texas in the background.

My aunt gave us tie-dye t-shirts with a wolf growling on one and a unicorn prancing on the other. Weird because NOT OUR STYLE. In any way. And not her’s, either, so I’m not sure how that happened.
