What did you get for your bride?

[AB]

3 weeks until the big day and I'm struggling with what to get the better half on the morning of the wedding!

She pretty much wants for nothing.

What did you do?

[rhinochopig]

Surely the hugely expensive wedding is gift enough?

pearl necklace.

[kowalski655]

What did I get for the wife?
Very nearly 20 camels and a bar of gold,well that was what was offered for her on honeymoon!

Wish now I had accepted

[Galileo]

Put a gold ring on her finger, you'll find it's all the rage these days. She'll want nothing else.

One of these...

Just give her your house, half your pension and a monthly wage packet.

Why would you get her something for the morning of the wedding? Is it a family tradition or just something you want to do?

[p1stonhead]

Is this a thing?

Mine got nothing and obviously didnt know she was 'supposed' to!

Is it something you give to someone to give her coz obviously we were not together in the morning of the wedding...

Quite, I must admit I've never heard of them wanting a present on the day of the marriage from the groom. Odd.

I got a joke present and a serious one. The joke one was a toothbrush, because she'd forget to pack hers for honeymoon. The serious one was an old suitcase/trunk thing.

When we sat down to plan our wedding we wanted to put up photos of us at Christmas from our childhoods, we were having our wedding on 20/12 so there'd be a Christmas tree in the reception venue. We raided my Mum's old photo trunk, sat down for an afternoon and went through the photos at random looking for old ones of me to peg onto the branches.

Loads of others came out as well, no idea who half the people in them were. Anyway, wife liked what we'd done so I went on eBay and got her an old suitcase / shipping trunk with stickers and crap on. Thought I'd done really well, then when I woke up on the morning of the wedding at my Mums I found out she'd bought one for me. Her's also included 200 photos of us over the last couple of years at various places. Mine was bigger though

Given that I splashed for half the wedding and her Dad covered the other half, a resounding nowt!

Was I supposed to? It would have got short shrift from me (and 'er indoors wouldn't have expected it).

My brother got a Tag Monaco off his wife on the morning of the wedding, in recognition of his efforts/cash put into their wedding along similar lines above. The bd!

What eventually turned out to be a moody , miserable, mental one.

[PH5121]

I got my wife some diamond earings to wear on the day, and in the grand scale of things a few hundred pounds that they cost soon paled into insignificance.

Similarly, I bought my now wife a gold necklace with a diamond pendant. To be fair, she bought me a very smart Gucci watch for that day too.

Have some flowers delivered to wherever she is staying to arrive on the morning of the wedding?

And a dog. Get a dog. Train it to be nice, but on command to be able to empty itself. Use a special keyword like 'Divorce'. That way, when she takes the house and the kids and the pension and most importantly, the dog, when you talk on the phone to your kids, all you have to do is mention the trigger word. 'Sorry XX, the divorce wasn't my idea'. Your sense of satisfaction will be immense.
