On your wedding day, did you exchange gifts to each other?

.....other than the wedding rings.

Either before, during or after the ceremony. I wondered how common this is nowadays.

We exchanged gifts. I think we did it either the day or two before.

I clicked "other" because DH gave me my gift (a necklace to wear the day of) two months before, and I gave DH his gift the morning of the wedding.

I gave DH a pocket watch in front of the castle at MK on the first day of our wedding trip. It wasn't a hugely expensive gift, but he loves that watch!

Our gifts to each other were very small, inexpensive, but personal.

We only exchanged rings. We were young and I don't think it ever occurred to us to give each other gifts. When we were planning our wedding, I don't know that I had ever actually been to a wedding before. During that time I did have a friend get married - maybe five or six months before I did. Other than that I didn't have much to go by. October 1st will be our 26th anniversary.

Not us; after paying for the wedding there was no money left for gifts for each other

We exchanged gifts before the wedding. DH gave me a strand of pearls to wear with my dress and I gave him a set of engraved cufflinks to wear.

We exchanged rings for our wedding. We had purchased some very good quality livingroom furniture (which we still have 18 years later!), which was a bit expensive, so that was our gift to each other.

After the wedding reception, we exchanged gifts. I gave him a nice watch that matched his wedding ring and he gave me Cinderella's Coach (the Olszewski miniature), since we couldn't afford it for the wedding ceremony at Disneyland.
