About the favors…. I was thinking not just of filling the boxes with chocolates, but also with little edible silver beads. Yeah, those four words describe how they look like when you don’t know how they are really called, like me before, then you later learn that they are actually and technically called silver dragees.

To me, they have always looked like that string of silver beads you hang on the walls or around the tree for Christmas. Good thing, the world has become modern and we are finally able to eat them (the dragees, not the Christmas silver beads!).

Aside from that addition to the favor box contents, to make the contents a little more interesting than the common, I’m thinking of enclosing a little scroll of a favorite poem inside. Perhaps, it could be some of the favorite poems I’ve had, which had been some of my inspiration through the years.

One of them will have to be “Preparation” by Valarie Hansen, and another would be “A Child of Royal Birth” by Anna Johnson. I grew up loving these poems, so making them part of my wedding would be a treat.
