Hubby sent me my first bouquet of flowers since we've been together (4+ years, and the arrangement was GORGEOUS) and a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses that I used frequently during our honeymoon (I didn't own any sunglasses). I made him an album out of my boudoir pictures which really stunned him bc it's so not me and a nice Italian leather wallet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-exchange-wedding-presents#post-665658 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:18:50 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 665658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but we did cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-exchange-wedding-presents#post-665623 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:09:26 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 665623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In a way. I got this idea from another couple on a wedding site whose pastor made them complete the exercise for tgeir ceremony. Basically, use only 12 words to express how you feel about your partner. DH was on board with the idea from the beginning, but did nit want to share it in front if everyone at the ceremony. We exchanged our cards with our 12 words in private. I featured the 12 words in our wedding album and everyone who reads them gets emotional. To me that was a gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-exchange-wedding-presents#post-665620 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:08:58 +0000 pl0508 665620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep matching watches </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-exchange-wedding-presents#post-665600 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:01:45 +0000 MrsSCB 665600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sort of, but it was not ON our wedding day. I got a boudoir album made and gave it to him a couple of days before our wedding. He was totally surprised because it was pretty out of character for me and he loooooves it. Then he bought me a really pretty RHR while on our honeymoon in Hawaii. It has a plumeria flower on it with a diamond in the middle, which we loved because I kept putting plumerias behind my ear :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-exchange-wedding-presents#post-665589 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:00:02 +0000 swurlygurl 665589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I left San Diego to move to Kansas for him - present enough!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-exchange-wedding-presents#post-665575 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 11:54:00 +0000 mediagirl 665575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: my rings were handed down to me from my Grandmother (through my Dad) so I don't really consider them "mine."

I did get DH a boudoir album though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-exchange-wedding-presents#post-665360 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 11:01:38 +0000 yoursilverlining 665360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - he got me a vintage 1950's graduated pearl necklace and I got him a new leather briefcase/manbag </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-exchange-wedding-presents#post-665359 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 11:01:27 +0000 teamjse 665359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-exchange-wedding-presents#post-665351 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 10:59:47 +0000 MamaMoose 665351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup.

I sent my MOH over to his room with his, and he sent his BM over to me w/ mine. I gave him cologne, a watch and Gryffindor cufflinks, which he wore that day. He was supposed to wear aqua and grey argyle socks that day too, but he didn't see them in his gift bag! </p> <p>He gave me a locket with pics of us inside and "Ikaw Lang" engraved on the back. I wore it that day too. </p>
