Gift a journal that you begin shortly after getting engaged, you could just talk about amazing days you’ve had, how much you care for your honey, how they make you feel, a moment in the whole wedding planning process that you two really felt proud of each other, a time when you really needed them and they helped you get through something difficult. Make it so that after you gift it, it isn’t full and the both of you can add to it. It’s the gift that keeps on giving because someday it’s something your future children could cherish it as a story of your love
