A plant for their garden, definitely. PPH recommended this and she knows.
An old-fashioned rose or something.

Champagne.

I know I always suggest this, but really you can't go wrong unless they're strict Muslims or recovering alcoholics or leading lights in the local Temperance League.

I would say definitely plant rather than champagne.

I'd go for an old-fashioned sweet-smelling climber like Albertine?

Plant! Plant! Plant!
Topiary is always nice IMO. Or rose (David Austin roses are lovely and some have names that might suit - ie her name)
I am assuming they have a garden.

I think something for the garden is a great idea. They will be able to plant it and watch it grow and blossom like their love , but you get the idea.

I LOVE Albertine - have it in my front garden and it smells fabulous. Very thorny though.

What about a clematis? You just bung 'em in a pot and let them grow like mad - no work.

You could buy them a wedding rose - we got a gorgeous white climbing rose called 'wedding rose' for our wedding and it was one of the nicest gifts we had.

True. I am very partial to the roses my partner grows and am even more partial to sitting among them sipping champagne I realise, however, that a rose is a rose is a rose, and a lovely gift it is too.

Mmmmm, if they've just been overhauled you may be right. Acers are lovely though - we've got a huge one in the garden and it is stunning.

I don't like champagne, in my last job (eons ago) I used to get them all the time and give them away. Am I odd?

Nice vase?
