| Are you just recently engaged and looking for a | | | | find significant. Once you have all of the pictures |
| gift for your fiance that will some up your lives | | | | together, can you find little trinkets or keep sakes |
| together up to now? Are you looking for | | | | that you have held onto to match these great |
| something special for that special someone? Do | | | | and special events? Something like ticket stubs to |
| you believe that the really great gift ideas are | | | | your first concert together or maybe you kept |
| ones that come from your heart? Great gift are | | | | the chocolate bar wrapper from the first time he |
| not impossible to find. They are actually quite the | | | | ever bought your a chocolate bar. Anything that |
| opposite. All you need to do is dig into your | | | | could be paired with that picture or memory that |
| imagination and think about what makes your and | | | | would make it more special. I guarantee this is a |
| your lover special to each other. | | | | wonderful touch if you are the type of person |
| What have you shared up to this point in your | | | | who holds onto everything. If not, do not worry |
| relationship that is worthy of noting or significant | | | | about it because I have another great idea for |
| to you both? Was there one deciding moment or | | | | the photo album for you. If you are not the type |
| event that made you look at your partner | | | | of individual who keeps every little thing for |
| differently? A moment that changed your lover | | | | memory keep sakes than the next best option |
| from just another boyfriend or girlfriend into | | | | after you have found your pictures for the photo |
| something much much more. An epiphany or a | | | | album is to write down a sentence or two about |
| moment of enlightenment or clarity which really | | | | each picture and why it is important to you. The |
| changed your life and your relationship. These are | | | | more you write the better because it will forever |
| the events to try to think of and capture when | | | | be written down for you to remember and share |
| trying to come up with a really great gift for you | | | | together but it is not imperative that you write a |
| fiance and, if successful, may turn out to be the | | | | complete detailed story of each photo. Jot down |
| greatest, most meaningful gift you ever get | | | | your memories of the time and the feelings you |
| someone. They are not necessarily easy to come | | | | were having at the time as well as any jokes you |
| up but all they take is a little time in the thought | | | | might remember from the night or people you |
| department and you should be able to unearth | | | | may have shared it with. |
| something of significance worthy of a great gift | | | | This is important because memories of the same |
| idea. | | | | event between to people can differ greatly and it |
| Perhaps, you can not think of a single event which | | | | is nice to be able to express exactly what you |
| changed your lives together and made you love | | | | were thinking at that time and how it made you |
| instead of really like your partner. Maybe there | | | | feel and then compare it to what was going on in |
| were several great moments in your lives | | | | your partner's head at the same time or the |
| together and you would love to capture them all | | | | feelings they were having. It is for this reason I |
| and tell your partner about them. That truly is a | | | | think that at the end of the album you should |
| fantastic idea! The best way to put this idea | | | | leave pages empty. This can serve on of two |
| together would be to collect all the pictures you | | | | purposes. One is to do exactly what I just said |
| can of your time together and put together a | | | | and compare what you were thinking and feeling |
| custom photo album or scrapbook of all of your | | | | at the time of the photos with what your lover |
| memories together. Start from the beginning or | | | | was feeling or thinking. The second reason you |
| when you first started dating each other and, if | | | | should leave pages empty at the back is to |
| you can, and work your way through every | | | | encourage your partner to think about what |
| month or year you have been together. If this is | | | | events in your life together made you important |
| not very easy than go through the photos and | | | | in his or her life and record them. A complete |
| find the pictures which best encapsulate special | | | | journal of your lives together with feelings and |
| events in your relationship. Choose the ones that | | | | memories from both sides, and accessorized with |
| were most important and powerful for you. You | | | | little trinkets or bits from the actual event, would |
| will give your partner a chance to add to the | | | | be a wonderful thing to have and possibly show |
| scrapbook him or herself later on but initially the | | | | your children or grandchildren one day. Do |
| idea is to express your feelings and what you | | | | yourself a favor and start your album today |
| thought was significant and what made you fall in | | | | because as time goes by memories and feelings |
| love with your partner. | | | | of those events change and fade. Do not allow |
| For example, great dinners you have had | | | | them to escape your mind. There is nothing like |
| together, birthdays, monthly or annual | | | | an amazing photo album of your lives together to |
| anniversaries, amazing trips together, or anything | | | | really capture what you mean to each other. |
