Can we think of some engagement gifts for the happy couple?

Thanks to Mountaineer for bringing this to my attention..

I just now found this thread. As I was waiting for the page to load, a song came on the radio...

IF YOU WANNA BE HAPPY  

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you  

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you  

A pretty woman makes a man look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he married her
Then she starts doin' the things that will break his heart  

But if you make an ugly woman your wife
You'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ugly woman cooks your meals on time
An she'll always treat you kind  

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you  

Don't let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry her anyway
Though her face is ugly and her eyes don't match
Take it from me, she's a better catch

***

An ugly woman cooks your meals on time
An she'll always treat you kind

Well, I suppose Ian can dream.

My immediate reaction:"Geez, I'd think she'd 'try out' a few different partners before jumping in".Is this the guy whose picture her tongue was going into a few weeks ago"? (Now I have to read the this 312 answer thread,surely laughing all the way )

[mountainfolk]

Does this mean that taxpayers will get a break? Will the secret service guards be dropped or more added? Looking for a bit of sunshine here.

What does dad Webster have to say about it?

Engagement timed perfectly for the election year.
Although I would have thought Chelsea would wait
until the year 2004 so that her mom who might
be contemplating announcing for the Office of President
could play the role of mother of the bride running for
the highest elected office and planning a celebrity wedding,
sharing wedding advice with Oprah. In the meantime, daddy
Bill does best what daddy does and will be assigned the responsibility for the selection of the best
bridesmaids all the while having their illustrious star power names in the news every day.

[eeriegeno]

I wonder if Daddy Bill explained the art of knob shots to his daughter and prospective bridegroom? Geez, ya wonder ya know.

It's going to be a very big wedding. One of the largest ever.

Actually, the original plans were for a small wedding but then Chelsea said "Oh, what the heck. Let's invite the half-brothers and sisters too."

[Pagey]

I just read in todays N.Y. Post that "The couple was spotted last week at the Punta Cana Resort, an exotic beach paradise located 125 miles east of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic"Is her new 'Daddy' picking up this trip? AKA "Paying for the 'can't type it' "?Good for him.It's going to be that way for a LONG time.He'd best have a good job,cause #42 and 'the Shrill' aren't going to give them a DIME! Engagement gifts VIA Hitlary?WELL.......Money given to The new couple will surely go through "The Former First B_tch"!Oh my,3 references to the HildeBeast in 1 post (ooops that's 4)is just bothering me to no end.My apologies.<---dripping sarcasm

The groom must have been brain damaged at birth.

Not really into engagement gifts but for the wedding a basket of oats, some carrots, sugar cubes, a feed bag, and a nice stall for their wedding evening would be nice for the bride, A 10 dollar hooker for the father of the bride, a new designer broom for the brides mom.

Not sure what to get for the groom and his family except cards expressing our condolences.

I'm hoping one of the Bush twins gets married at the White House. Wouldn't that just kill the liberals? They would have to have a paramedic team standing by to cart Hillary off when the announcement was made.

[pankot]

A horse feedbag for Chelsea.

[Political Junkie Too]

Where will they be registered, at the Smithsonian, the Louvre, or the V&A?

Chelsea and Ian, who met at a rally of students at Oxford post-9/11, are expected to announce their engagement by June.

Missing from the article was any mention of how well the visually-impaired Ian handles his disability.

[MHT]

Ian may be a Democrat but he is NOT an Ivy-Leaguer---went to Wash U in St. Louis. Co-Captain of the socceer team-- has hair just like hers. In fact, they look like they were separated at birth.

Hope the tutors at Oxford are accepting his lack of attendance better than they are hers because he is a Rhodes Scholar, the real thing, not just a hanger-on-er like Chelz.

Future in-law's are horse people and met them in Ireland while checking out the horses.

Reality is, beyond the meritocracy of it all, does Klaus has enough credentials to be son-in-law material for the perpetually-opportunistic Clinton's? Seems like another Kennedy or Senate son, etc., would be a more marketable choice and more to their liking.

[ladyinred]

So "President Clinton" seemed glad that his daughter met a decent man, eh?

Finally!

[dalebert]

Can anyone tell me why this should matter?

[ArneFufkin]

Given what I've seen of young Ian's machismo, the Bride better hope her gift comes with batteries.

What a FANTASTIC excuse for a FUNDRAISER! Using the kid again.
