Im getting married in about 3 weeks time and I want to do something really special for my husband-to-be on our wedding day... I've thought about writing him a letter which can be delivered on the morning of our wedding day. Our wedding celebration will start at around 2 pm but i want the morning to be special as well.. can you please give me some suggestions as to what I can do? Oh yeah according to our tradition, the bride does not see the groom on the wedding day.. so it has to be something that does not require my presence but will remind him how much i love him and why i am marrying him later that day.. Just thought you should also know, that we have been together for over 8 years soo.... suggestions please.... i need help...

Hi, first of all CONGRATULATIONS!!!! May all good come to you both always. Remember, marriage is something you have to work on everyday of your life. Not just on your wedding day. But I like the suggestion of the card and the recording of the voice.Nr 3 said. I think though, you are already giving him a gift, as he is you. You are giving each other, each other. Sounds silly? But it is true. That is alot to give. Be happy, think positief and enjoy your wedding and of course your life. Take care.

Congrats on getting engaged, :) Now you need an idea, what I did for my other half.. I purchased a double vertical picture frame (usually a 5 x 7). On the right size of the frame, I put our favorite picture of us together (i didn't use an exact 5x7 pic, but a 4x6 and used a pretty paper as a background and center the pic). And on the left frame, I type him a poem (with the same type of paper used as background) based on my feelings for him, and where I would be had I not found him. I started it by using his pet name... My darling Baloo.. and I ended it by stating my saying I tell him always "I love you, yesterday, today, tomorrow, and always" then finally his pet name for me "loving you forever, your Nibby". And, never forget to put the date, you get too look at if for years to come. Wrap it up in nice paper and either mail it or you can have someone drop it off on his doorstep w/a single red rose, ring doorbell and run... (that's what I did) Hope this helps it worked for me. and it's not his favorite gift given to him. Bless it be and good luck.

well,my friend.why not record a video(i wonder if it counts to break the tradition of your absent).i guess i will be more vivid and romantic than just post a letter.in this video,you can express your affection with your spouse through a well prepared talk or even sing a song.i believe it will be quite moving.good luck.

Yep, a delivered letter or card will do it. Maybe send him a small gift with it as well. Perhaps a watch or a compass. That's if its possible though. I bet the letter or card will be just fine. Happy wedding and have a wonderful marriage.

I think sending him something you make by yourself will help. Maybe a card, a artwork, a basketwork, or anything special that will remainder the love between you and your husband-to-be. Good luck to you and your wedding.

thanks for your wishes and reply. I was thinking abt a card but i wanted to buy one. But like you said something made by myself is more meaningful. Will definitely think about that.
