9 Of The Weirdest Wedding Gifts That These Celebrity Couples Received
We all love giving and receiving gifts for weddings, but some of these gifts are just a little bit strange.
It's such exciting news when a couple gets engaged and then plans to celebrate with a wedding ceremony. One of the great perks, along with having a ceremony, beautiful clothing, wedding cake, music, and more, is a wedding registry.
A wedding registry is like any other gift registry; it's a list of wanted items from the couple, and people usually buy wedding gifts to celebrate the couple getting married. Typically, the registry consists of gifts that the couple wants or that represent them.
These gifts usually consist of personalized items, kitchenware, appliances, or even food, but occasionally, people stray from the registry and buy what they want instead. We can bet that these couples probably had a cow on their wedding registry.
People can get the couple whatever they want, and sometimes they decide to give gifts that they think best represent the couple. In this case, they chose some weird gifts to give. We've compiled a list of 9 super-odd wedding gifts that were given to your favorite celebrity couples.
Let's dive into this and see what weird things were given, and maybe get some ideas for wedding gifts to give in the future—or not.
