There is a drama series called "Home Front" on BBC Radio 4, set in Britain during WW1. Most of the characters live in Folkstone. Each episode is set exactly 100 years ago.
Currently, in 1917, people are having to cope with food shortages. There are laws against wasting food; bin men report householders if they find edible food in bins. Bakers are not allowed to sell fresh bread, because it can't be sliced thinly; it has to be a day old before customers can buy it. A child character is a baker's daughter. She smuggled fresh bread from the shop and sold it but was discovered by a police constable. A Belgian refugee baker lived with the family earlier in the war and made Belgian Buns to sell to other refugees, but there are no cakes now. Cookery classes, demonstrations and competitions are held to encourage frugality. Flower gardens are made into vegetable plots. People join long queues outside food shops. Even the wealthy family in the series are cutting down their food intake. There weren't enough eggs for everyone's breakfast one morning.
There have been some weddings, all arranged at short notice, some bridegrooms being soldiers. Two brides were housemaids at the vicarage. One of them, Kittty, is a main character. She was married in autumn 1914. Reception in church hall with flowers from vicarage garden. She was marrying "above her station" to the nephew of the wife of a town councillor and local bigwig. Bridegroom's relations disapproved and didn't attend wedding, but his aunt relented slightly and sent a salmon for the reception. Vicar's wife arranged reception and catering. Bridegroom embarked with his regiment later that day, or next day. Bride went home to her parents. 3 years later she still lives with her parents, although she used her separation allowance to rent a room for herself and son for a while. Twice when husband was on leave they went to a hotel. If they received wedding presents or if Kitty had items in a "bottom drawer" she won't have had chance to use them, since she has no home of her own.
The other housemaid, a Belgian refugee, married an army doctor, a friend of the vicar. She, like Kitty, was pregnant, so another quick wedding, and disapproved of by some. There were probably presents. The bride had no relations. The doctor and his wife have a home of their own but it was damaged by aerial bombing in May 1917.
Police sergeant's soldier son, Mervyn, came home on leave and married his fiancée next day. Mervyn insisted on buying her a wedding dress she'd admired in a shop window, although she already had an outfit. Bridegroom's dad came to the wedding in uniform as he'd been on duty. Mervyn was killed in The Battle of The Somme along with his brother and 2 cousins who'd all joined up together. His widow has lived with his parents so probably never used her wedding presents either. She's just married again to a police constable.
Another housemaid, 17 year-old Esme is engaged to a Belgian refugee and is collecting items for her bottom-drawer. So far she's got a few cooking utensils. She is from a poor family, with a drunkard bully for a father. Her fiancé is a gardener and part-time milliner. Esme works for the councillor's family. Her fiancé was making hats for the wedding of the councillors' daughter in the last series, but the wedding has been called off so I can't report the details of a "society" wedding. Esme's father forced her mother to pawn her canteen of cutlery. That might have been a wedding present.
Two other weddings took place on the same day at the registry office. They were both arranged quickly. One was a marriage of convenience; bridegroom was trying to avoid conscription. The coupes were acquainted (not friends) and had a joint wedding reception. The brides were mature, around 30, with their own businesses.
Two young war widows married again very quickly.
I don't recall mention of gifts for any wedding, but the episodes are short, only 11 minutes. There's a website with background information.
If it was a TV series I might have noticed more about the weddings. I'd know what the bride's outfits were like and might have glimpsed food. Eating on radio interferes with delivery of dialogue. The previous series is repeated on Radio 4 Extra at 10 A.M. and 3 P.M. Monday-Friday this week. Companion series "Tommies" also repeated at 11.15 A.M on same channel.
