Re: Greek Brides??
Okies... I need your help ladies!My aunt keeps calling me asking what I need for her to bring me from Greece for us/house/wedding....
I was thinking of asking her to bring me the (I can't remember the name) box to hold the stefana.
Other than that, I can't think of anything exceptional for her to bring me from Greece.... I wouldn't want the norm - Can you guys help me think of something special for her to bring me?????
Thanks!

Olga: Hope your FFIL gets betterLisa: LOL! I can't think of anything else, but just wanted to tell you that FH's Aunt is also going to bring us the box to hold the stephana. She asked FMIL if I would be offended if she brought it for us, since I am not GO. I told her of course NOT!! It was so nice of her to think about us and I'm sure the ones from Greece are gorgeous. I can't wait to see it.

Re: Greek Brides??
Deby & Marcela - thank you both for responding sooooo quickly. As I said a while ago, I already have the stefana, and I'm simple like that - something w/silver & wood is awesome for us! I just have no idea.... Deby - give me your thoughts.... Dad just told me that they would be coming in on 9/5 - wedding is on 9/21... you think the koufeta will keep?

Re: Greek Brides??
THe thing that holds the stephana is called a stephanothiki. I thought maybe of ordering the cake cutting set from greece - like Deby said it's cheaper.

Re: Greek Brides??
We posted at the same time!hahahaha- OK, I know what you mean.
They have a pani that wipes down kitchen surfaces too - it absorbs a lot of water. My best friend was showing me hers last week

Re: Greek Brides??
Besides the box, I can't really think of anything else either. Maybe a nice icon, as mentioned before.

Re: Greek Brides??
I just spoke with my theia, and i asked her to bring me the stephanothiki.... she's gonna bring me a silver one (Yipeeeeeeeeeee), she's also gonna bring me a tablecloth, and some clothes. She & the rest of the aunts are going to check back in around a month or so to find out what else we need! Did I mention how much I love my family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's called 'To Dexi Xeri' and they are brown in a celophane wrapper. You can get them at Basilopoulos!
