If you were given this as a wedding gift would you be happy?

BristolBride83, 17 January, 2014 at 15:19 Posted on Planning 0 14

I want to give my OH a year of our first's as her wedding gift. So the idea is that each month we recreate something that was a first. I come up with this, what do you think? would you be happy to be given this?

August Saturday 23
Remember the first time we sat on the harbour wall, chatting and having a few drinks in the sun? You commented on how relaxing it was and we put the world to right. Let’s take some time out, and enjoy this again.

September Tuesday 23
I can’t take you to Rhodes again but I can take you to a Greek Restaurant for a date night. Let’s reminisce of our first holiday together in the sun; I’ll even let you take a copy of the hunger games.

October Tuesday 21
We once had a comical night in Clifton at a pub quiz, if I remember correctly we came last! This was our first pub quiz together. Let go again and see if we can better our score and not come last!

November Tuesday 18
Our first date will be partly recreated today when we walk down the aisle and start our married life where we started our life as a couple together. Let’s finish this off with dinner at Pizza Express. I promise I won’t be hung-over this time.
December Saturday 20

Let’s go buy a real Christmas tree and spend the day making our home all Christmassy, just like our first tree together (but without all the dropped pine needles)

January Saturday 24
Remember the first time I told you I loved you? Well, I love you lots like jelly tots. Let’s spend today chilling out with a film of your choice and eating a million jelly tots.

February Saturday 21
You suggested a trip to Alton Towers to celebrate the end of my exam. This was our first Theme Park together. We are off to Alton Towers to scare ourselves silly again.

March Saturday 28
On our fourth date I turned up at you house with my new white trainers on ready to go on out first walk together. You were decked out in appropriate clothing. The look on your face was priceless when you saw me! I then proceeded to fall into a nettle bush due to my unsuitable footwear, stinging my hands. You looked after me. Can you remember this walk? Let’s re-trace our steps. Hopefully I won’t get stung this time.

April
This month is a surprise so keep the weekend after your birthday free. (im taking her snow boarding, this was how we spent her first birthday together)

May Saturday 23
Remember how I surprised you with a canoeing trip? This was my first time ever doing something like this and our first time together. Let’s put this day a side to do this again!

June Friday 19 – Sunday 21
Remember the bike ride you took me on, our first together, and my first time on a bike in over ten years. I hated it to start with, but by the end of the day I loved it. Let’s take the weekend off and do it again!

    Cute.

    This bit confuses me though. Is this your wedding day? If so, when are you going to give her the gift, in order to do the earlier activities?

    The other option seems to be that you walked down an aisle on your first date? ?

    We had our first date where we are getting married. This starts from the month after we get married so the plan is she reads this on the morning of our wedding. She'll know what I mean hopefully lol.

    So on November Tuesday 18, which is after your wedding (in July), you will be returning to the place that was both your first date and the venue you married in? Then you will go to Pizza Express? What will you be doing when you return to this venue? Is it just a walk/visit? Or was Pizza Express your first date?

    "Let's recreate two firsts today - our first date and our first day as a married couple. We'll visit XYZ, then finish off with dinner at Pizza Express. I promise...."

    Lol no problem. Basically after we walked round the museum ( where we are now getting married) we went for dinner at pizza express. I was hungover from the night before. It's kinda to recreate our first meal out together but better!! I just wanted to get our wedding day in somewhere and this seemed like a good place in the list. Nothing is in order or at the time we originally did it.

    I thought this post was going to be about some dodgy gift from a gift list!

    I would be really happy to be given something like this. It is so thoughtful so a great idea.

    Thank you everyone. I've really struggled to think of what to get her. We are a complicated breed us women! Claire likes surprises and she asked for a bracelet but I can get her that any time, and it's not a surprise, I wanted to do something she wasn't expecting. Hopefully she'll like it.
