A Wedding Shower for Mr. & Mrs. Ghost!!!!

[Spideyman]

And loves his daughter? I'm here to tell you he does.
I got this for him for a wedding gift. Her father and I started off on a good note and he's been so supportive of our relationship. I wanted to try and get him something nice for a wedding gift to let him know how much I appreciate his support.
I found a Boker knife, a brand I really like. It's a German knife company, very old company, they make a Bowie style knives but with a more modern combat type grip. To me they have a cool style that I've always admired but have never had the occasion to buy one. I found one a knife shop in a town north of me that sold Boker knives and picked Bill out one I'm really hoping he likes. It's got a 7-inch blade and it feels very solid, made out of good steel. They're not super expensive but not cheap either and I also had it engraved. I bought a really nice leather sheath for it. Tamara says he's going to love it, I hope so.

He will treasure your gift, as he will treasure you becoming part of the family.

I hope so, or I guess he could use the knife on me......it'd make a good story either way...I'm thinking it shows trust, giving him a super sharp knife...

Give yourself some credit. They all love you. So happy things turned out so well for family.

Something about giving a knife as a gift rung a bell with me. My Mom has passed and she was the one who knew all the superstitions.

I think you have to give a coin with it - like a penny or something...

Does anyone know anything about this?

According to the top hit on Google:

Because of this superstition, it is common that the gift of a knife will be given along with a penny, nickel or dime in the box with the knife so that the recipient can give back the coin, thereby saving the friendship from being severed by the giving of the sharp blade.

Thank goodness you have the SKMB to keep you from impending doom.

Yeah, no doubt. Not only can you make friends here, this place can save your life!!!!!!

Now the real challenge is if I put a coin in the knife case and he just stares at it blankly..lol.

You can tell him about the superstition and blame it on Neesy (and us ) for passing it along to you.

Shannon! I keep seeing this thread during times that I can't post and so haven't gotten you guys anything yet. Oh man, I do not go to many weddings, at least not the formal kind, so don't really know what to get for a shower. *wracking brain*

So, I got you a suitcase full of this...

...and I've heard that for the right couple, once opened... it will never run out.
I just know that it has found the perfect home with you & Tamara.

My love to you and your family, Shannon... I am so incredibly happy for you.

Ahhh, you didn’t have to get anything at all Flake, I just appreciate the kind words and all the hard work you do here. I've been letting Tam read thru these posts, and she has just been blown away at all the kind words...and even more blown away that "All those nice people think so much of such a dork."...direct quote from her...lol

Thanks Flakers...
