Wedding presents and the couple who have everythin

[mrs trackside]

What can I get my old school friend and her husband to be who are getting married in September?

They're in their mid 30s. She's been married before, he hasn't.

They've lived together for the last two years and bought a house together a year ago.

They're not exactly strapped for cash. She drives a brand new C class Merc, he's got a brand new Porsche (don't know what sort), and the wedding is taking place in a marquee in his mum and dads garden on the tennis court!!!

HELP???? What can I buy them?

I did consider a W.H.O.C.T., but I don't think they'd fully appreciate its beauty.

What do you get for the couple who have everything?

Penecillin, shirley?

[kerfuffle]

Don't they have a wedding list registered somewhere?

I wanted to get them something different.

Something like Caithness Glass? Or a decanter set?

A pre-nuptual agreement

What about an album by The Wedding Present?

[kerfuffle]

Can you get something special relating to how/where they got together? A square of carpet from Nitehawkz Diskotek perhaps?

[Fatboy]

Somethingh Bizarre and Comedy - like a large fossil, or a huge inflatable shark...

Something that comes in two parts, just in case

From someone that got hitched last year, the point of making a list, is that you get what you want. Something 'nice'/'different', may be to your taste, but could end up in the back of a cupboard, only to be brought out when you visit.

If, however, you are sure, then what about a 'Maguires' cleaning set for their motors?

Money.

I was "forced" to make a list but I just wanted money to be quite honest.

A lot of people did just give us cash thankfully, bought a kitchen

[veetwin]

Create a memory, like a hot-air balloon trip for them both or concert or show tickets?

Edited for spelling

Do what I'm doing - don't give anything, drink all their wine and then try and pull the bride




cos lets face it, if you can do that, you're better than nervous

Pet hate alert!

By your own admission, they are a couple "who have everything". Therefore anything on their wedding list is stuff that they actually need/want. Anything else by default is not.

Quite often a lot of thought and planning goes into putting a wedding list together. The awkward sods who insist on buying off list (usually rellies at that!) just cause the happy couple to have trapse around the shops returning unwanted stuff so that they can mop up the stuff that didn't get bought from the blinking list in the first place!

Wait for a quiet moment and remove the "from" label from an expensive looking gift and replace it with a ticket with your name on it problem solved.


tell me if this works, i've got a friends wedding coming up
