Here's an unusual, but extremely practical wedding gift with a hint of Irish whimsy; the make up bell (or marriage bell). At first glance, it may seem like another 'pretty' object to give as a wedding present, but the make up bell will come to sit in a place of honor in no time. That's because every newlywed couple must learn how to navigate through disagreements and the make up bell is a fun, romantic way to grow in this skill.

The make up bell is silver plated which adds to its beauty and ability to 'reflect' what is really important as the partners quarrel. In the end, when one person is ready to lay the quarrel down, without having to bear the admission of fault, fingers will grab the open heart handle on top of the make up bell. In doing so, the little, lively ring of the make up bell helps the couple release any lingering tensions and remember that deep love shared on their wedding day. The make up bell is 3 inches high x 1-1/2 inches wide and comes in an attractive box suitable for gift giving that includes the story of this Celtic wedding tradition.
