groom give the bride? Do the bride and groom exchange gifts. or what is the normal practice of bride and groom gifts
 
My son gave his wife a diamond tennis bracelet. She wore it during the reception, it looked wonderful with her gown, she loved it.
She gave him a white gold engraved key chain that he still carries.
 
"Normal practice" is whatever the bride and groom decide. Not giving each other a gift makes sense - they're already getting all those wedding gifts! However, most couples do give gifts, in my experience.

My husband gave me a necklace and earring set that I wore with my wedding dress. When our oldest daughter got married, she wore it, too. I really like that aspect of wedding gifts - sort of a legacy for your future.

I gave my husband a fly fishing rod and reel, which some people thought was weird. I guess he liked it - he still uses it 34 years later!

Neither of these gifts was expensive. It's more important to be thoughtful and personal in your choices.
 
groom gives bride jewerly(braclet or necklace)
and idk about what the bride gives a groom
 
All this "exchanging of gifts" is Wedding Industry promoted nonsense. First merchants ruined a nice holiday like Christmas for us, and now they are hard at work on weddings. We need to stand up for family values and remember that weddings are about two people starting a new family, not about endless rituals of giving and getting presents.

I'm not angry at you; it is a perfectly legitimate question. It is never incorrect to give a gift to someone you care for or wish to please. But there is no "supposed to give someone a present" rule for anything connected with weddings with one exception. One may not come to a shower empty handed. Even if one is giving the couple a new Porche for a wedding gift, one must bring a gift to the shower.

All the notions about obligatory gift giving between new inlaws, from couple to attenants, little presents at each place setting, and so on ... all this pure fantasy concocted by The Wedding Industry so that gift vendors will continue to buy advertising in bridal magainzes and websites and buy space at bridal fairs.
 
Hubby & I gave each other the gift of not going into debt because of the wedding. We had a nice church wedding for a reasonable amount of money and didn't owe a dime to anyone when we said I do.
 
Some do, I already know my fiance wouldnt think of getting me a gift...the wedding is my gift haha, we are spending enough! I might get him something small. I found these really cute socks that say "incase you get cold feet", its silly and practicle. Im really not buying a big gift, we have lived together for three years, share finances and its just not needed
 
yes they exchange gifts but as far as I know there's not a specific thing you should get each other. it should be something your fiance likes and wants or needs.
 
The gifts vary based on the bride and groom's tastes. I told my husband that I wanted to exchange some type of keepsake gift rather than your normal gift that you could get any birthday, Christmas, etc.


The gift my husband got me was a silver jewelry box with an engraved heart on the top that said, "To my beautiful wife Sonya- I will love you forever." Inside, he had a super sweet note that he wrote to me about what it meant for us to be getting married.

And I got him two things... A silver pocket knife that said "Sonya & Joe, 5/21/2006" (our wedding date and our names, haha.) And I got him an engraved photo frame with the first picture we ever took together that said, "Olive oil" and our wedding date. Before we said I love you, we used to mouth "olive oil" at each other b/c they looked the same. Then we'd start saying it... and one time, instead of him telling me "Olive oil too" he said "I love you too." And that was how he first told me he loved me. so... yeah. It is a sentimental cheesy phrase.
