Before we got married she asked me what I wanted. I said that I didn't want anything, but of course realized that meant she wanted something. I cheated on the gift - she needed luggage for the honeymoon, so I said I would buy it and that would be her gift. She ended up buying me a dvd/vcr combo that we probably would have bought anyway. I was still suffering from sticker shock for all the cash that I was had/about to pay out (over $20k net after gifts) and wasn't ready for more expense. Also, I felt the sentimental object that I gave her was the engagement ring. What more is needed to say that I love her and want to be with her forever?
