The concept is as simple as it is inventive. The Newlyweds' Predictionary "TM" is a packet of brief, entertaining, and sometimes irreverent questionnaires that provide an opportunity for bride, groom, family, and friends to speculate (confidentially) on what the future holds for the marrying couple -- and then for that same couple, ten years down the line, to check those speculations against the path their life has actually taken. The questionnaires come packed in a beautifully designed, four-color book-shaped case that also serves as the safe-deposit box to hold them, once completed, for their decade-long journey into the future.
The Newlyweds' Predictionary "TM" includes a special pair of questionnaires tailored especially for the newlyweds. Each twenty-page two-color booklet is filled with dozens of multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and open-ended queries. Will they get rich? Have children? Take up bridge? Enter therapy? These amusing and thought-provoking questionnaires also offer the couple a chance to commit to paper any special promises they intend to keep for the next ten years. Also included are thirty single-page serf-sealing questionnaires meant for family and friends, giving them a chance to offer up their predictions about the couple's future as well.
The Newlyweds' Predictionary "TM" is a two-act delight. Act one ends when the filled-in questionnaires are sealed back in their originaldecorative case and the whole package set on a shelf to age gracefully. Act two comes ten years later, when husband and wife are finally authorized to break the seal and examine what everyone (including their younger selves) had to say about them all that time ago. It is bound to be an occasion both solemn and amusing, nostalgic, and wistful; there could hardly be a more meaningful way to celebrate a tenth anniversary.
