Did you get DH a wedding day gift?

[Inyourwildestdreams]

Just that really - did you get your DH a gift to give him on your wedding day?

I was shopping with a friend and was having a look at some things in a jewellers and mentioned what it was for and she said that was absolutely not a thing and it’s not normal to give a gift 😅🙈

I did. Each to their own! If you want to, do!

fwiw, my DH loves his present

🤣🤣 I was his gift. I’ve never heard of this.

I'm the fucking gift. 😂

I honestly can't remember so probably not. I know we got thank you token presents for the members of the wedding party like best man, bridesmaids etc but I don't remember DH and I getting each other anything.

yes we did I bought him a kilt pin and he bought me earrings.

@GoingRoundInOvals Yeah this was my thinking but she seemed genuinely shocked at the idea of it 😂

@Sconeswithnutella @yourlobster I mean…obviously I’m the main gift 😂🙌🏻 lucky guy! Lol

Yes - Some really fancy rum, as he loves it, and some gorgeous cufflinks. He didn't get them, though - it was a bit hectic in the run up and he didn't see them in the room he was getting ready in.

I don't think it's essential at all; but it's also not unusual.

I did, it was something sentimental.

I bought him a pair of Ray Bans for our honeymoon.

He bought me pearls and I bought him cufflinks. We both wore them on the day. It felt very special.

@FionnulaTheCooler Yeah I knew most people tend to do that 😊 We’re not having a wedding party, just DH and I 😊

@Mrsjayy I was thinking along the lines of some “nice” engraved cuff links or a watch

Yes - it was a wedding ring.

I got him cufflinks. They both had a compass on them, one had the coordinates of where we got engaged with "will you?" on the other side and the other had the coordinates of our wedding venue with "I do" on the other side.

I also got him a pocket watch engraved with "On your wedding day Lil' bro". His brother had passed away earlier in the year and always called him "Lil' bro".

cufflinks sound perfect, we wore our gifts recently and our child's wedding so it went full circle.

I bought him cufflinks that matched the colour scheme which also matched my dress (which he didn’t know). Gave them to FIL to give to DH whilst they were getting ready but there was a mix up so he ended up wearing ones MIL had given him on a significant birthday and only found out about my gift later

This made me laugh out loud!

I bought him a Raymond Weiss watch and he got me diamond earrings.

No the first time and not planning on it when I marry again shortly. We'll buy rings that will be exchanged of course. I am planning on a special birthday present which is in the intervening weeks but not mentioning what in case he is a secret Mumsnet user (highly doubtful as he can't work X formally Twitter!)

A token gift could be nice I suppose but not "a thing"

In my case he'll be wearing his dads gold cufflinks and his grandfathers watch which are far more appropriate. I want to come up with something that pays tribute to his mum who has passed away

I sent him a red rose on the morning of our wedding. But the wedding rings were the gift as far as I was concerned.

He got to marry me. The gift that keeps on giving!

Yes, I bought him 2 suits and bought me platinum diamond earrings, things we could use in daily life rather than just on the wedding day. We still enjoy them.

Yes. My vagina. He loved it

Yes an expensive watch from a manufacturer he'd been looking at in shop windows the entire time we'd been together. I know it's not a normal thing to do, but for various reasons it was right for him and for us.

He didn't get me anything, but then I'd had a rock of a diamond 6 months previously from him, so I was ok for a present!

I didn't as we just never considered it necessary, I guess? I do anniversary smartshow 3d slideshows with our photos in addition to actual gifts though, so this should count 😄
