Hey Jodi, Aren't you the greatest gift of all?

[missus]

What Trent said. Here is a lil something I found:

" card with a hand-written note inside telling me how he feels "on this day" would out-weigh any gift
Old book of poetry, something that I could read and re-read, and think of my wedding day
I think the most romantic thing would be for him to buy me a star and name it after the two of us.
Diamond earrings


Jewellery is great, something sentimental to wear the day of the wedding.
Flowers
Teddy bear
Tennis bracelet
I heard about these necklaces or bracelets that you add one bead/pearl on each anniversary, and when you reach 10/25 or whatever, the necklace is complete.

a memory box
a photo album that starts with the beginning of our life together and we could add anniversary pictures every year.
I would love to get flowers on the morning of the wedding
I am SO hoping that FI will give me a piece of jewellery by the same woman who made our rings.....but this may involve some heavy hinting
I want an ID bracelet with the heart shaped tag with something engraved on it.
I would just like a note saying that he can't wait to be my husband.
I want a white gold necklace with a small single pearl pendant!
WE DIDN'T EXCHANGE GIFTS

I didn't get a darn thing . We agreed that the wedding was our gift too each other, but secretly I was hoping he'd surprise me, but he didn't. Oh well, not a big deal really.
We did not exchange gifts because we paid for everything in our wedding. Not a big deal really. We ended up getting our wedding bands engraved.
We didn't exchange 'gifts' either but the best thing that we gave each other the week before our wedding was our 'last dates as single people' ... we went out for dinner together, drank copious amounts of wine, and really enjoyed it.


These are from a bride's point of view, but just reverse them from man's point of view. IOW, you can send him the flowers as a sweet reminder of how much you love him, the flowers a symbol of how beautiful our life together will be."


Did you find another dress?

Anyhoo, I'm so excited for you girl.

We didnt get eachother gifts. But I did write a prayer inviting God to our wedding and asking for a marriage blessing. I gave a copy to my hubby and one for me, for us both to say on our wedding day. Not in front of everyone, but in private. Also I always write hubby lil love notes and poems, that is a good gift I think. Hubby has every single one of them. They are fun to read and re-read.
Another idea is maybe some love coupons. To save when life takes over and things get strained a bit, he can cash them in, and rekindle the fire! You can make up your own, or you can find some at spencers I believe.

I gave mine a personalized pen/pencil/letter opener set w/ a box that had his name engraved on it. He saw it at Things Remembered and liked it so i got it. It was less then $50. I gave it to him the night before. he got me a white heart locket key chain from Coach that i really wanted. Nothing big, but something. We gave them to each other in the limo ride we had after our rehearsal dinner. We also had my dad and his mom in the limo w/ us and gave them each a "parents gift". I gave my dad an engraved business card holder and the first business cards for his new company. On the inside of the card holder i wrote a post it that just said "believe in yourself, i do". He still carriest it w/ him and he started his business b/c of it. (wedding photographer). I don't remembe rwhat we gave my hubby's mom honestly. Jewelry i think to wear to the wedding....also from things remembered actually.
