What are you getting him for a wedding present?

[tvt]

I love the idea of engraving rings and not telling until the wedding day! I'm not sure I'd be able to keep that a secret! I would rather not to gifts!

 

Also, I don't remember who said "love and devotion for the rest of our lives" I LOVED that! That is the best gift you can give someone

Well, I'm getting Aaron the b-pics. Also, I'm picking his wedding band and will have it engraved. I want to personalize it somehow else as well. I heard that you can engrave/imprint the outside with things that represent the journey of your relationship (e.g. a palm tree for when he proposed to you in Cancun or something), but I haven't looked too much into this yet.

 

lol, no watch for my FI. I got him a really nice pocketwatch when we were first dating (for our first anniv) and he lost it - he doesn't wear watches often.

lol Aaron didn't know it was a tradition either. He thinks I'm just trying to get something pretty from him. haha.

 

I know I saw some socks specifically for "cold feet" on a wedding day somewhere a long time ago. I thought I bookmarked it, but I can't seem to find the exact link - there are ones like these on eBay:

There are some great suggestions up here, but after paying for the entire wedding ourselves, I don't know how to come up with the $ for anything too pricey right about now. I do like the ring engraving idea. Has anyone decided what they're engraving?

yea, I'm putting "I love you more"

[Shelley]

That's really sweet! I want to put something more than the date, but it is his ring and I know he wouldn't want anything too mushy, so your idea is great!

 

What did Courtney Cox put on David Arquette's ring? I remember it was something funny but it's not coming to me right now...

[LisaG]

Oh I don't remember.....I'm going to do the date too...so he doesn't forget. haha!

There are some great ideas in here! I think, if we do gifts, I'll get him a Nintendo Wii. He really wants one. Also, we're doing the ring engraving thing, and I am getting "Put it back on!" on the inside of his ring, I think.

Put it back on..... I LOVE it!
