It's a nice thing to do after your wedding. You don't have to get anything expensive; just something of sentimental value. It needs to be something small that she will cherish for the rest of her life. If you get really big with the gift, it could be sort of tacky and kitchen appliances are out! Hope this helps you. :-)

On the wedding day, gifts can be exchanged, The Best man and/or the maid of honor takes the gift to the Bridge/Groom.
It could be a card, a single Rose, Jewelry.
I have even seen a Bride Send send socks along with a card to the groom, cause they had talked about getting COLD FEET before the wedding.
OF COURSE THE SOCKS WAS A JOKE!!

Although I have heard of it done, and know it is a common thing for some people, not a soul I know has done this for their spouse at their wedding. Either no one thinks about it - especially with all the rushing around to make sure everything is taken care of, or they just don't have the money to do so, since most of it was eaten up with the wedding and honeymoon expenses. I didn't even know there was such a thing when I got married in 1995. We heard about it after and just laughed that 'that's what anniversaries are for'. ;)
From what I've heard, those that participate in this ritual give jewelry other than the wedding bands, or something that the other could look back upon and cherish - a favorite book of poems, naming a star for them, etc.
Hope this answer helps...

it isn't undesirable success, nor has it ever been. in straight forward words stupid superstitious human beings believe in that, and to at the moment, there has no longer been a unmarried couple who has finished so struck through lightning or met the different unexpected destiny that would want to correctly be chalked as a lot as that. the tale in the back of that stems from Biblical cases at the same time as a lady change into really offered to a guy as his bride and she change into lined with a thick veil that neither party might want to be sure with the help of. The veil change into no longer bumped off until eventually the marriage change into consummated so as that the guy might want to no longer decrease back out of the marriage if he did not discover her perfect earlier they were married, because that change into fairly a lot the first time he ever stated her. the tale of Jacob and Leah in the Bible is an outstanding depiction of that. also the position the veil stems from, and there are not any present day superstitions about that anymore.

It is and it isnt. I did. I gave my wife a watch that she had admired. It was on the wrist of a teddy bear sitting in her chair when we arrived at the reception. The teddy bear also held a single yellow rose (I was from Texas, she was from Canada, first roses I gave her were 1 dozen red with a single yellow rose)
What did she give me... So far 7 years, 1 little girl, 1 boy on the way and we are still going strong.
It is basicly a thank you from the groom to the bride for including you in her big day.

It is a tradition in some cultures and families. The guy usually buys the bride jewelry to wear for that day, and the bride usually buys the groom cuff links or a flask or something. But you should discuss it with your fiance'. And if you decide to go ahead with it, try something different. For instance, My husband bought me the traditional diamond earrings and necklace (which I loved). But I bought him something I knew he would really love. I arranged for us and the bridal party to be driven in classic cars instead of limos. Make it creative and unique and it will be something you both will enjoy and remember for the rest of your lives!
