Bride's scrapbook
In her cedar chest, my grandmother also kept a scrapbook of all the cards given to her and Grandpa upon the occasion of their marriage.
I enjoyed browsing through the cards, ranging from beautiful and elegant to sassy and humorous. I giggled at how "un-P.C." this card would be considered today:
"Here's hoping that the Bride knows how to wield a wicked skillet..."
"And hope the Groom can bring a lot of bacon home to fill it!"

I LOVE that card! You're right - very un-PC but I wish cards like that, encouraging the wife to be a virtuous housekeeper would come back into production!
How wonderfully sweet that old card is!

LOVE the card!
It took me a few married years before I could wield that wicked skillet!
Love it! :)

Polly, I know what you mean -- I wasted four eggs yesterday trying to make an egg over easy... I have some perfecting yet to do myself!
I love the card too! :) It's adorable!
