Made by Honeymooners

This is our coffee table.  My parents gave it to us.  They made it together the first year they were married.  This story makes a table that I love even more wonderful. 

Marcia and I are fortunate that we both have parents who have weathered their storms and stayed married.  So many of our friends don't have that advantage.  It must make a big difference to have that relationship building skill modeled throughout childhood.

What a meaningful gift.. that's awesome. Gives me an idea of the type of gift my partner and I could create for our kids, down the road.. Also wanted to say I tagged you on my site.. love your website! -Kris

Very Fabulous! My parents' marriage has been one to model as well, and I'm greatful for it.

Wow - what a cool idea - and something your children will treasure as well!

That table is fab!

I wouldn't have said that my parents had a terrific marriage, as I once saw my mum lob a plate at my dad's head, but it was a good one. Apart from the plate episode, they did indeed model how to be married quite happily.

That is one cool coffee table!

I'm lucky to have parents who are still happily married, too. It's very, very nice.
