The hardest decision I had to make was what to give my husband on our wedding day.   As a poor grad student, I didn’t have the means to buy anything fancy, so I had to be creative.  I finally decided to get him cologne.  I picked out a scent that I liked, put it inside a Mr. Potato Head Spud Trooper (he collects them), and had my maid of honor deliver it to him the morning of our wedding.

Later that day as I walked down the aisle, I was met by the smell of the cologne.  During the reception, I could still smell it as we danced to our wedding song.  Now when he wears it, I am taken back to that day and remember the joy and romance of our “I dos” and first dance.
