Gift for your FI on your wedding day?

FI has expressed that he'd like to exchange gifts on our wedding day. I'm sure he'll get me a piece of jewelry or something to that effect. And I'm now stumped on what I should get him. I got him a beautiful watch as an engagement gift, so that's out.

What are you getting your future husband for your wedding day?

    I think I am going to give him some b-pics, but I am going to take them myself.

    I have a nice photo printer and a good camera, so I think I can do a pretty good job.  The only difficult thing will be getting the timer set correctly and get the angles/lighting down.

    He raids a couple of nights a week online w/ friends so on those nights I have about 4-5 hours to myself (after DS is in bed).  I'm thinking this project may be good for one of those nights.

    I'll either do b-pics or nothing. FI is a very money concious guy, so he would much rather have me put money into a savings account for us.

    I'm not sure.  I don't think FI knows that we're "supposed" to do this. I kind of feel like we'll have spent enough money at that point & like FMS, would rather put it into a savings account our house fund!  = )

    We are getting each other things but I dunno if it will be the day off. I know his wont be but I don't know if he will give mine then. We can't do anything normal. lol

    He is getting me a Wii and I am getting him a nice suit after we start living together in KS, after the wedding.

    If I have any money left over at that point :) I would like to get him B pics or a watch.  I have gotten him cufflinks before- they have so many fun ones on there! Pretty much anything you could think of. I got him pepsi ones because yep he loves Pepsi. I was actually thinking of getting him these cuff links previously, I may still do it:

    I want to get him a really nice watch for our wedding day gifts.  I just recently got him a watch for his bday and it's not the nicest quality, so I really want to get him a nice one he can wear every day.

    I got DH a REALLY nice watch which I typically wouldn't have been able to afford but I had randomly gone into a jeweler to have the battery replaced on my own watch (it is an ultra slim style and requires a jeweler to replace the battery) and they had Movado watches on clearance because they weren't carrying them anymore and just needed them moved out the door.
