A sister named Elizabeth.

"I have a pretty present for my Victor -tomorrow he shall have it." And when, on the morrow, she presented Elizabeth to me as her promised gift, I, with childish seriousness, interpreted her words literally and looked upon Elizabeth as mine-mine to protect, love, and cherish.

No word, no expression could body forth the kind of relation in which she stood to me- my more than sister, since till death she was to be mine only.

The groom's parents usually pay for the rehearsal dinner, which is their gift to the couple. Another small gift to the couple can be given. If the mother wishes to give a small gift to her son of some type, this is perfectly acceptable, although she should also give a small gift to her daughter-in-law as well.
