Weddings gifts for bride and groom...?

Wedding is in a week and I am stumped on what to get my bride to be as a wedding gift. I have thought about putting together a scrapbook chronicaling our journey from the start to where we are now.....or is there another category of gift that would be more appropriate? Could really use some help and good ideas.
 
I love the Idea of a scrapbook...I am a scrapbooker and think this would be an awesome gift, it would mean you actually worked on it and put in the time and effort into it!! Just make sure to leave extra blank pages for the wedding pictures and then you could even leave some blank for the anniversaries too!


Ok these are just some ideas hope they help

A card with a hand-written note inside telling me how he feels "on this day" would out-weigh any gift.

Old book of poetry, something that I could read and re-read, and think of my wedding day

Jewellery is great, something sentimental to wear the day of the wedding.

Flowers

I heard about these necklaces or bracelets that you add one bead/pearl on each anniversary, and when you reach 10/25 or whatever, the necklace is complete.

Technically, your rings are your gift to each other on your wedding day. The scrapbook idea is a good one, it's very sentimental and sweet. Putting it together can take longer than you think- unless you have all the pictures, you may not have enough time. And to make it really nice, the best pictures should be enlarged to 5x7 or so, and everything matted, etc. Still, it's a good idea if you have some time to assemble it.

Another idea would be to buy a nice flower vase at a gift store. Some jewelry stores also sell gifts, so you could try there, too. Buy a beautiful card, and in it tell your future wife how much you love her. Bring both the card and the empty vase to the florist you will be using for your wedding. Tell the florist to bring the vase, filled with a dozen red roses, along with the card to the church on your wedding day. They can bring it when they bring the rest of the flowers. You can give the roses to your Bride, or tell someone to take them to the room she is dressing in. Tell somebody to take a picture of her reading the card- with the flowers and the vase in the photo. (Make sure she is in her dress first!) I guarantee she will keep the card (and maybe even dry the roses). You- the adoring husband- can bring home flowers on your anniversary and the vase will be used throughout your lives together. And here's an added bonus- some year when you don't know what to get her for her birthday, flowers in the vase will be perfect.
