Get her some Walker Evans beadlocks.

Buy her a cook book and tell her to get in the kitchen

I'd hit up a Ruth Criss, Morton's, or Lawry's if you've got a little to spend.

I'd do a day in Hollywood. It can be fun. Overpriced food, bumping into stars, seeing the sights. Then take her to the Viper Room, give her a couple bumps of coke and get dirty in the back.

If you're gonna be near South Coast.....forget Maggianos....Antonellos restaurante is WAY better (and nicer). I can get you last minute reservations if needed too. haha

LOL! Sounds like my family.

Buy her a jeep and go wheel together or go skydiving!

Take her to a play or some thing that she hasn't done or doesn't do often it will create a memory and shows her you put thought in to it.

check out The Melting Pot. Its fondue, and as ghey as that sounds the ladies love it and its really good food. I took 4 of my closest girlfriends there for V-day a couple years back and it was really nice. and shockingly we were all stuffed by the end of the night.

I took the gf and proposed on a gondola dinner cruise in Newport before sunset. It was awesome and the /wine/ dessert was great. I think it runs about $200 plus tip. Oh and the jewelry district in LA for the ring when your ready!

Hate to put a damper on the romance... but for anyone planning to get married... make sure you know the legal ramifications of signing that marriage license.

Whether you realize it or not, you ARE signing a prenuptial agreement... but most people have no clue what it says.

I learned the hard, and very expensive, way.


Ok... back to the love fest...

My wife and I went here for our aniversary two years ago. We agree it was one of the best dinners we have had. Great food, service and atmosphere. Compared to other places like it its not too expensive. Just make sure to take your time and enjoy.

As far as the gift... not my thing, sorry.

If you can find a member, Club 33 in Disneyland. Great fun wondering the parks and a five star dinner. Tough to get in, I don't have my hook up anymore.:tear:
