Thanks for all of the replies! Some great thoughts in there.
uforgot - She only bought him a 'cross bike because that's what HE wanted (he basically wanted a new bike, so said to her that it could be her wedding present to him...).
I agree with most of you on the bike parts thing, after some thought. Those are better gifts for birthdays and such. Her fiance and I have been talking some more, and have agreed on a bracelet and/or a framed print from where they are getting married (Waitsfield, VT).
Me - I'm all set. We bought them a tandem

Ah, I just showed this thread to my husband and he said, "We were supposed to give gifts to each other? I gave you me!"
Seriously, Cathy, you gave your friends a tandem???? My birthday is in November, and the anniversary is in December.....

Good one Robyn! By the way, when DID the gift giving thing start? I didn't give my ex-husband anything when we got married. I saw a friend's wedding album the other day and she had pictures of the gifts they gave each other, and I thought "how nice, they gave each other a little gift", but I guess it's now part of the tradition? Where have I been?

BTW - DH and I didn't purchase gifts for each other when we got married either.
