My nannie's hope chest is full of items she wants to be near her on her wedding day.  Her grandmother's wedding gown with all of its beads in place, along with her mother's pearls and Aunt Tizzy's veil.  He own new shoes, favorite parfumes, soaps and sache's, a brand new pair of nylon stockings, jewelry fit for a queen, gloves, her grandmother's wedding certificate, and a her mother and father's wedding picture.
