I'm bored
and am trying to think of things that I may have overlooked prior to my wedding. Feel free to suggest what these things might be.

I'm also trying to think of a present to buy my mrs for the wedding. Suggestions on that would be welcome.

Problem with anything like that though is...
1/ It's of a 'time' and will therefore date quite quickly.

2/ It is easily broken and the wedding gift you gift your other half will have more sentimental value than anything. So she'll get an epic sadface if you break it while dusting.

Oh yeah! Are you buying new shoes to get married in?
Don't forget to take off the labels. I walked to the wedding because I lived up the road and I was stopped by a do-gooder who I thought was going to congratulate me but instead said "You've still got the labels on the bottom of your shoes love" Close one there! Kneeling was part of the ceromony.
