None. Spending enough on wedding and honeymoon. Buying a piece of art or home decor on our honeymoon together, instead

Not planning to get him anything. We are already living together so whatever each of us wanted, we usually get. Plus, I think it's too cheesy.

I got him engraved cufflinks (one with our initials, the other with our wedding date). I did have to spill the beans early though so he wouldn’t buy any.

A Rolex

Thanks folks! I had already gotten him the Rolex for the engagement, and he has cuff links coming from his parents, he’ll get a ring on the wedding day so I think my only jewellery option is a necklace of sorts! I got him a simple silver chain, and a Lego bride and groom at the alter set (he really likes Lego 😂) I’ll put a nice handwritten letter with it - that was a nice touch suggested!

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!

I’m excited for my wedding but it’s almost 9 months away and I started planning it over a year ago. However, whenever I’m around friends/family it’s the only thing people want to talk to me about. It’s constant and generally there’s not many updates to give & I’d just rather talk about other things. I work full time & I’m in school right now so I’m stressed about those things and I don’t know how to communicate that I’d just rather not talk about the wedding without sounding ungrateful/happy
