Okay, I admit it. I'm a guy. I grew up never needing -- nor wanting -- to know what the heck a "Hope Chest" is. As near as I can tell, it's some kind of girl indoctrination thing whereby grown women who should know better start their daughters on the path toward planning for the eventual wedding by giving them a box to put stuff in that's, well, domestic.
Is that about the size of it?
I have a writing project in mind that may involve the whole hope chest scene. Do any of you, my loyal (or, even first time) readers, happen to know anything about hope chests that you'd care to share with me? Please?
Feel free to comment by clicking on the comment link, or send me e-mail (the link is on this page *somewhere*.
Thanks!

Allan the hope chest thing is basically old world. England i think. My mother had a hope chest. I now have it as a family airlome(?). It is like a big foot locker with fancy wood etc. It is ceder lined and my mother stored things for her future home in it. When i got it it contained her wedding dress and other things of that nature. I keep it because it is over 100 years old & it was my mothers. Hope this helps.
