Sometimes the best wedding gifts happen when guests think outside the registry.

One Redditor posted this picture Monday with the caption, "Just received the best wedding present ever..."

The photo, which we seriously hope is real, has racked up over 200,000 views in one day.

When George R.R. Martin himself says "congratulations on surviving a wedding" -- in the very book the Red Wedding occurs -- you know your life is basically complete.
