I'm not 1000% sure but I'm going to give Groomtastic the benefit of the doubt on this one and say that he's not a forum SEO whelk spammer. If he is, then grrrrr.

Anyway, I quite like them but I often think that £129 on cufflinks is an horrendous waste as I lose them so much I more or less think of them as disposable. If I had to fret about wearing some that cost £129 I probably wouldn't thank you.

Gifts for best men – my top five:

- Gig/sporting/event tickets, so you and him can still go out after you're married and he can still see that he's special to you.

- Something he actually wants. Most people have Amazon wishlists (and most will make them if you ask them to) so you could get him something in your budget. I'd be made up with a book that someone had got delivered and written a message in the front. Mind you for £129 you could get the fecker a Kindle.

- Something that costs nowt but means something. This is going to sound endlessly naff, but an experience of some kind that you do together, dare I say, a memory, would be infinitely better than cufflinks. Like going to Stone Henge. Or making a special trip to see something he's interested in. If I was in a Hallmark mood I'd say: don't engrave something for him, engrave a memory on him. Actually that would hurt like fuck.

Bought my wedding ring from Joshua James, so they are not all bad. Mediocre customer service, but the ring is SHINY.

Only problem is as I've lost weight I've gone down almost 3 ring sizes.

Got it re-sized free of charge and got it back this week, and it's still too fricking big. Will have to get it resized locally now I think as wont have time to send it back and wait the jurrasic period it took the past two attempts to receive the thing back.

My gift for my Best Man – I bought him his bloody wedding suit, so he should be grateful for that!

I actually like guys getting their own suits, and just making sure that they are generally the right colour (for example a shade of grey), then you can pick out the accessories like ties, sunglasses, cufflinks, buttonholes etc. to tie you all together as the Grooms party.

A good example of this is Dan Anderson's wedding, which still remains a personal favourite of mine.

Seriously? Do you actually think that or are you paid to say that? Personally, I think they're ineffably naff, useful for one day and grotesquely over-priced (£19.99!) Anyone else think asm88 is crazy like a loon?
