The more times goes by, the more I realize how awesome my wife is and how lucky I am. Just before we got married, my now-wife said (without me bringing it up), "Don't get me a wedding present, you already got me a freaking ring." We are expecting our first child in July and just yesterday she said, "Have you heard of a 'push present'? It's fricking stupid, don't get me anything, you already knocked me up. Just buy me some drinks when I can drink again." God I love her.

Jewelry is customary now. I gave an Yurman bracelet. Bracelets are a safe route to go (if you're doing jewelry) since she'll probably want to wear it on the wedding day
My friend gave patio furniture, so there's that...
I don't even want to consider the woman that could wear patio furniture on any day much less her own wedding!
Get her a Panini Press, you'll both thank me later!

I got my old lady a wheelchair. She couldn't walk after the honeymoon.

This is fricking stupid. Did you not buy her an engagement ring? Engagement ring, wedding ring, and a badass honeymoon. That should be enough.

this is all part of the whole materialistic bs that many women are into now. They become obsessed with things and then wonder why they "aren't happy"

Damn near word for word what my old lady told me

My husband and I didn't do this when we got married.
My friend's husband gave her some jewelry from Tiffany's (I think a bracelet)that was engraved.
ETA: Tiffany blue was one of her wedding colors though...so I think he did that to go with her theme

All this present giving for these occasions is for Facebook posting purposes.
"ooh, everybody look what my sweet new hubby got for me!"
Back in my day, prior to any social media garbage, a man and woman simply got married.

I got married a couple of months ago, and I didn't get her a wedding gift. I didn't receive one either. You bought her a diamond ring, that should suffice.

Recently discovered I must get my fiancé a wedding present the day we get married,
Who told you that you had to do that? If it was a family member tell them to frick off. If it was her. Call off the wedding.
I gave my wife an engagement and wedding ring. That's what she got.

I bought my wife a Rolex

Again... I stress do not do this... setting youself up for failure. Every anniversary you will be expected to get a badass gift so she can instagram her "worth". And you will be expected to only get better gifts...I've seen this from friends on Facebook... do not go this route. Give her some kids and materialistic shite should not matter then

My husband and I skipped day of wedding gifts and put the money towards our amazing honeymoon (3 weeks in New Zealand). No ragrets.
My friends husband has given her a Mignon Faget necklace for their first dating anniversary. On their wedding day he gave her the matching bracelet, which she wore for their wedding. I liked that the gift had meaning and wasn't just a random piece of jewelry.

Regardless of the down votes I get it works wonders.

Damn, I'm jealous.
I got no present and no honeymoon.

Pair of really nice pearl earrings and for our first and second anniversary I completed the set with a bracelet and necklace.

I've been married 25 years and got a wedding present from my husband. A hand monogrammed gold bangle I still wear everyday.
And my kids are 18 and 15 and I got presents from my husband when they were born. Two different rings with my birthstone and the child's birthstone.
No social media back then and not "recent" at all.
Most of my friends did the same thing.
Hell, I'm 45 and my dad gave my mom a charm bracelet when I was born and he has since given her charms for other special occasions.
You young bucks are just now hearing about these things because you're in that phase of life and social media makes it easier for other people to brag about it. Back in the day I didn't know this kind of minutiae about the lives of everyone I ever knew. Social media gets the blame for a lot of things for "being a thing" but social media didn't create wedding gifts or push presents, it just allowed everyone to share things with the world that in the past were only known by your "real" friends.
