A BOX TO MATCH

submitted by: Lorraine Brennan

My boyfriend (now my fiancé) gave me a silver ring not long after we started dating. He had bought it on a market stall. We were in a cafe and he handed me one of their matchboxes. Inside was the ring wrapped in a piece of paper he’d written his favourite poem on.

Needless to say, I still have the matchbox and the poem and I wear the ring every day. It beat getting an expensive ring in an ordinary jewelry box any day!
