No but I found some poems for you!

Someone, somewhere
is peacefully watching two seeds,
tossed by a strong wind, lightly landing side by side,
growing separate, together,
under the same sun, under the same moon,
clinging to their own roots,
still side by side, intertwining, growing closer,
sharing the same air, the same wind, the same rain...
learning to understand,
to comfort,
to give, to recieve,
to love.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As a wedding favor for my wedding guests, I hand-painted mini pots and included a paper-whites bulbs with a hand written note that reads the following:

Stacey & Jonathan
would like to thank you for making today not just a memory,
but a dream come true...

Plant this bulb and watch it bloom
And so will the love of the bride and groom
It will see a lot of sun and just as many showers

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A packet of forget-me-nots seeds to plan in a row
Just as our new life begins they too will grow.
Please plant them to remember our day
and watch our love blossom along the way.
Thank you for sharing our special day with us

GOOD LUCK

I think that is a GREAT idea...especially if you are getting married in the spring.

I used tree seedlings. They were 10 inche coloroda spruces. Everyone LOVED them.

Diane, tree seedlings! THat is so awesome!!
AmyKay I love this idea. i am so jealous. we were going to do flower bulbs, but then my mom (motherof thebridezilla!) talked us out of it because a lot of our folks are traveling by plane! But, since i have seen a paper-whites bulb kit in a nice box that would be perfect, even for travelers to take!! annot remember exactly where i saw them, i think it was somewhere in Huntington. Good luck!
