When the date was set for my wedding last year, it could be said I followed in the steps of my father by having my wedding a few days after my wife’s birthday. This was either a great idea or one which I am destined to regret, if I forget one date I will most likely forget the other.
After our wedding toasts, the owner of the restaurant gave us out champagne cork with a coin placed in it. Silver coins are inserted into the popped champagne or wine corks and given to the bride & groom as a lasting memento of their day of celebration.
It is a nice memento from the day and sits happily on or living room shelf.

What a nice custom. We were given the champagne glasses that we used to toast one another – a bit ironic as neither of us drinks alcohol any more!
Thats a nice gesture as well, you could always fill the glasses with Sprite on your anniversary.
