Jordan almonds saying ??

I can't find where I put the little poem/saying that goes with the jordan almonds. Does anyone know it or know of a site I can find it on. I also had it in Italian. I was going to tag them with it in english on 1 side and italian on the other. I really have to try to find the italian one. I know his family will get a kick out of it.

I know they have it on theKnot.com. I am having trouble getting on to their website right now, but when I find it I'll let you know.

Here you go:

Jordan Almonds for Thee

Five sugared almonds for each guest to eat
To remind us that life is both bitter and sweet.
Five wishes for the new husband and wife --
Health, wealth, happiness, children, and a long life!

The website also has an explanation for what they stand for at different types of weddings (i.e.: italian, greek, etc.)


Hope this helps.

Jordan Almonds

another version...

The almond represents the firm foundation
on which to build a life together.
The candy coating signifies sweetness and love.

Each of the five almonds holds a wish for the husband & wife...
Love, Health, Happiness, Prosperity
and a long life together.
