    Seeing as my OH will be in a kilt i got him a kilt pin. I ordered it on friday from ebay and it came 1st class post so arrived on saturday! So i was super pleased! If you're OH isnt going to be in a kilt what about some wee novelty "groom" socks, bokers and cuff-links.

    My kilt pin!! -

    I'll be buying mine the groom book that Shwayney mentioned and an Omega Seamaster. I thought it would be nice to get him something he can wear forever, especially as he bought me such a beautiful engagement ring.

    Well the photoloveletter was £29.95 and you get to choose how many of your own photos you want to upload and you can write as much or as little as you like, i do think its good value x

    I am buying my H2b cufflinks, but not any old cufflinks, these have the

    'See you at... 2:30pm' on them

    They are the first in this list of wedding cufflinks - http://www.yourukwedding.com/cufflinks.html

    I was thinking of something Spurs related as H2B is a huge fan and we're having a slight spurs theme to our wedding, table names, cake topper etc.

    Not sure what yet, gonna have a browse on the website just now think.

    I have bookmarked the oh so cherished journal and have got a certificate from Liverpool FC which I am going to frame.

    H2B also loves watches (he has about 10!) but they are all relatively cheap ones (i.e. under £30) so I wanted to get him a really nice expensive designer one and have it engraved with "see you at the altar at 12.30pm 19 March 2011" but have noooo idea which watch to get him!!!

    Mrs C - what sort of budget do you have for the watch? The Omega that I'm getting H2B is beautiful and will last a life time. There are plenty of different watches out there to suit any budget you might have.

    I hadn't really thought about it too much as I don't really know what I'm looking at but was thinking between £250 and £500 (considering he spent sooo much on my ring!!!)

    This place might be worth a look. They seem to have loads of different brands:

    I have got him a note book from photobox which i have covered in pics of us through the years then going to write some things in it, similar to the groom journal but then i can add some things and take some out. i am thinking of sticking different photos in it, and prehaps leaving some room so that on our 5 year/10 year anniversary etc I can write some more things in. i have also bought a kit to make a pair of sock love monkeys, inspired by zippy making different ones and showing them on facebook. we decided we werent going to do big pressies and i dont often express my emotions as it were so thought it would be nice to get some things written down instead, and he is a cheeky monkey!

    My OH has his heart set on the bells ringing as we walk out of the church but I've told him we haven't got enough in the budget for it. I'm secretly booking them so it will be a nice surprise for him hopefully!

    This is what I'm intending to do, depending on finances, but I'm hoping I may win 1 in the raffle (well a girl can dream can't she!). If not, he'll probably get just me!

    I've paid for a chauffer driven DB9 to take him to the service but also got him the cufflinks others have mentioned. The case is engraved with 'I can't wait to be your wife' Excuse my reflection!

    Mrs C...have you seen this:

    http://www.officialfootballmerchandise.com/liverpool-fc-wrist-watch-p-11685.html

    Not expensive although possibly an extra...(And he has to take it of 25 minutes before the end of the ceremony, just like Rafa did to Torres!!!)?<evil Man Utd icon>

    Seriously though, he may like his.....

    TBH I think that they need to lose Rafa to move the team forward...although as a Man Utd supporter I feel we need a stronger Liverpool to make us more focussed and better in the league.....Liverpools malaise this season has been reflected in Utds variant form too.
