The opening of the gift was a sentimental moment for more reasons than one.
"When you get to open a 28 year old wedding present and take a trip down memory lane in the process. ❤️👰🏻♀️ #vintage #china #royalworcester," Colleen wrote in her caption.

"When your grandmother, who passed in 1996, packed away her china for you as a wedding gift and you finally get to open it," wrote Colleen over the clip.
As she pulls every tab of the cardboard box open, Collen maneuvers around each piece of china inside, which is wrapped in newspaper she carefully zooms in on each piece to show that it is from 1996.
She then shows one of the pages with an ACME market advertisement showing a loaf of bread at $0.89 and a carton of eggs at $1.00.

The white bowls, plates, jugs, and cups are from the Evesham Gold collection from Royal Worcester Colleen said in the comments. Each featured a gold rim and paintings of fruit of the Vale of Evesham.
The comment section was filled with people sharing in Collen's excitement.
"Use it! Don’t save for special occasions because you’ll end up just storing it. It’s really cute," one person wrote.
