Engagements Gifts

When I got engaged it made some of my co-workers quite happy. Yes, there were happy for me. But there was a little bit more than that.

I have two co-workers who were married earlier this year. Since I was now engaged it meant that they could get rid of gift me with some of the wedding materials they still had lying around the house. Without lifting a finger on my part I am now the owner of the following...
2 wedding dress catalogs, 2 issues of Brides, 2 issues of Modern Bride, 1 issue of The Knot, 1 issue of For the Bride, 2 local weddings guides, and a box of thank you cards. There's also a copy of The Knot Complete Wedding to Weddings book, although that didn't make the picture. Of course it doesn't mean I won't adding my own stash of wedding magazines to the pile. I'm really looking forward to buying and reading Martha Stewart weddings when I fly back to California. But still, not too bad of an engagement present right?
