9 Unusual Gifts That Celebrity Couples Got for Their Wedding

A study found that when people closest to the bride and groom buy wedding gifts, they often depart from the registry in an attempt to express their special relationship. Sadly, they often wind up disappointing the wedded couple.

The Bright Side team dug through the internet in an attempt to compile a list of the strangest most unique wedding gifts that neither celebrities nor royal couples saw coming.

1. Prince William and Kate Middleton: a bike

Instead of physical gifts, Kate Middleton and Prince William invited their guests to make donations to a fund for charities, but one guest insisted on giving the bride and groom an unusual present. Mr. and Mrs. were gifted a tandem bike as part of London’s new bike-share program.

2. Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman: a cow

In 2012, Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman, who had been dating for more than three years, wed in a low-key ceremony in California. PETA officials (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) offered the couple an unprecedented wedding gift: a cow named Peter.

3. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: two koalas

Rather than receiving fancy gifts, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle asked for charitable donations instead. However, on their big day, the couple was gifted a remarkable gift: two baby koalas named after them at the Taronga Zoo in Sydney.

4. Madonna and Guy Ritchie: two rolls of toilet paper

In December 2000, Guy Ritchie and Madonna received a rather unusual wedding gift: two rolls of toilet paper. This bizarre gift is a tradition that symbolizes how marriages should be long and strong like a roll of toilet paper, according to the pop star.

5. King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain: a Game of Thrones DVD box set

In the Almudena Cathedral of Madrid’s Royal Palace, King Felipe and Letizia Ortiz were wed on 22 May 2004. As a wedding gift, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain received a remarkable low-key gift when they were married in 2004. The symbolic gift was a Game of Thrones box set of DVDs.

6. Prince Charles and Princess Diana: a ton of peat

The marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981 resulted in more than 6000 wedding gifts. What made it onto our list is a quirky gift of literally a ton of peat. A local council in rural Somerset sent the unique wedding gift to the couple for use on their estate in Gloucestershire.

7. Katie Price and Alex Reid: a pig

When Katie Price and Alex Reid got married in 2010, they received a mini pig named Bingles as a wedding gift. Sadly, they had to get rid of their micro pig Bingles quickly since he was violent when food was served.

8. Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowle: a poem

On 9 April 2005, Prince Charles married his second wife Camilla Parker Bowles. One of the gifts Prince Charles and Camilla received on their wedding day was a poem named Spring Wedding written by Andrew Motion, British Poet Laureate.

9. Keira Knightley and James Righton: an olive tree

The actress Keira Knightley married her boyfriend James Righton in France in a relatively low-key ceremony. In honor of their love, James Righton gave her an ancient olive tree with their initials engraved on it as a wedding present.
