These are brightly painted cera mic bells shaped as kittens and angels. What are they used for? To hang in trees! An assortment of wrapping paper with matching ribbons and cards was also pur chased for a bridal gift at the Hallmark shop. Elaine's gift shop sells an an niversary candle. These have the bride and bridegroom’s name in gold carbon with lines designating how far the candle should be burned on each anniversary. Also coming into vogue is an assortment of foods to start off a newlywed pair. Most popular are spice cabinets and jam as sortments. Myrtlewood bowls and other utensils are also popular gifts primarily because of their rarity outside of Oregon. The Bon Marche Bussells has photoplates available for nuptial gifts.

A diamond is the most common betrothal gem and has been ac cepted as such since the 15th century. The word “diamond” is from the Greek "adamas” which means unconquerable. The Egyptians were the first to actually use a ring in the wed ding ceremony. This was preced ed by an ancient Jewish ceremony in which a symbolic ring, too large to be worn on the finger, was given to the bride. The circular shape of the ring is said to be a carry-over from fetters and bracelets worn by slave women in primitive times. The theme of submission is also carried out by wearing the ring on the left hand, the traditional symbol of subjection. This cus tom has been followed by English speaking peoples since the 16th century. An ancient belief decrees that a “vein of love” run directly from the fourth finger to the heart. Hence, the wedding ring is worn on that finger, closest to the heart, with the engagement ring on the outside.
