Insisted On Opening
Well, there was no lacking of suggestions. Some of the guests suggested them to open the box and then there were some who thought it would be better to wait. Kathy reminisced, “my mom was like, ‘Kathy what if there’s food in there or something?’” Well, they too had this doubt on their mind and so they confirmed, “We did ask [Aunt Alison] to make sure there wasn’t anything perishable in there or time-sensitive.”
Baby Time
Kathy and Brandon remained unaware of what was inside that box for some years. The duo was so busy building their life, they completely forgot about the box. The couple became parents of two babies soon after getting married. They found themselves a bigger house as they were growing as a family. Along with all the important stuff, they also took that unopened box along to the new house.
Game On!
The Gunns did have fights but none of them were serious enough to open the box. They took it as a challenge. “My husband and I are both very competitive people,” clarified Kathy. But what does it mean?
Challenge Accepted
She continued, “We love a challenge. The presentation itself was very unique, and it’s not the typical gift. We kind of set it aside because it was special to us.” The gift was just not a gift from Aunt Allison but also was a test of their marriage. Opening the box would mean they failed in their work.
Couple’s Time
“Tonight, we tucked our kids in bed and my husband and I enjoyed a glass of wine on the deck,” Kathy recalled the day they celebrated their long years of togetherness and many many years to come. The couple was still in love and now even more so after spending years with each other.
Sudden Thought
They went back to the past and discussed all their favorite memories from the birth of their children to their wedding day. They talked about how far they have come since their big day. It was nothing short of an achievement. They remembered the guests who made their wedding day even more special, blessings, and gifts.
