I did a little research and apparently the traditional 2nd year anniversary gift is cotton. This seemed strange to me as cotton doesn't seem romantic. I mean, I put on cotton everyday without thinking anything of it. Nobody pulls out a cotton t-shirt, embraces, squeezes, whispers sweet nothings, or daydreams about it. Of course, not every moment of a relationship is romantic either. Some moments are about pure endurance. Ever thought of why clothes are out of cotton? I hadn't until now ...
"As a material, cotton is both durable and versatile. These are both important qualities in a successful marriage. Cotton has also been known as a symbol of great prosperity."
Okay, okay, cotton it is... Happy 2nd Anniversary, Embellish! May you have the continued durability and versatility of cotton. Oh, and prosperity too!
