A few weeks back, Meme (my g-ma) wrote me an email saying she had been thinking and praying about how she was going to contribute to our wedding. After much deliberation she came to an incredible, helpful and old school conclusion: she was going to furnish my bridal trousseau. After much googling, I found that a trousseau used to be a giant chest that young women collected and stored bridal accessories, jewelry, lingerie, makeup, honeymoon clothes, linens and other things for their marital home. Since victorian times it has been filled primarily with new clothes for the wedding, honeymoon and newly wed days so the new husband doesn't go broke trying to buy his bride new clothes.
So after talking to Meme, I found she wants to furnish clothes and accessories for my honeymoon at our wedding spot in Nassau. This is going to be extremely helpful since, with the expense of the wedding in Nassau and reception in SA, there wouldn't be a lot of cashola left for the clothes, bath suits, etc that I need to impress the new husband. Its super fun to have money that I HAVE to use to by clothes, makeup and fun shoes with instead of saving it pay for cake. So, I am looking forward to having a fun summer of shopping with Meme for new things for my honeymoon! Thanks for the great gift Meme!
