for her or for you... :rattle:
 
I picked up my wife from work with all her luggage packed and I took her to the airport to fly out to a ski vacation together. I got a good package deal on Expedia to Ski Tahoe. I didn't quite earn the blumpkin I had hoped for but she loved it.

Another time, I cooked her steak and lobster, put a tux on and set a dining room table and what not in the house and suprised her with a HUGE flower arrangement on the table and the steak and lobster waiting. She was so suprised and shocked she took pictures of it before she sat down in order to remember. It was then I realized the key to her heart was through her stomach.

Doing my best Buffalo Bob impression:

Is she a great big fat person?

I paid off "her" truck.


Then she yelled at me because I paid it off a week before she had planned.

You have no idea! You wanna know how to score points that will pay back for YEARS??? When your wife asks three days before your wedding anniversary if you are going to exchange gifts, say" I haven't bought you anything" with complete sincerity. Don't mention that you secretly planned something over a month prior...


1. Take a lousy photo of her walking down the aisle at our wedding...

She loves the way she looks, but dislikes her mother's elbow across her dress.


2. ... to a friend who does photo restoration as a hobby. Have him make the pic beeeeutiful!

He stole elements from other photos to make the tiara pop and show off the ruffles in the dress. You can see those other photos here: < http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y33/andysteiner/Anniversary 2007/ >


3. Frame it.

A 4x6 photo in an 8x10 frame looks very delicate.



4. For extra bonus points, pick two more photos.

She took the one with me sitting in the filed of poppies. (DING DING DING. Even more bonus points.)

Blow them up to 13x19 and frame them:
100_3701.jpg


16x24 frames. Nice!



5. Allow her to choose the restaurant (Tessa Rosa at the Red Rock Resort and Casino) and the table. Make secret arrangements with hostess to sneak gifts and super secret special surprise to the restaurant earlier the day of anniversary dinner.


6. Get celebrity chef (Heather West, winner of season two's Hell's Kitchen) to join you at table for a chat.

7. Predict to celebrity chef that wife will cry when she opens first present.

DING DING DING. (Do I know how to call 'em or what?)


8. Make her smile with poppy pics.

9. Now... back to crying again. Bring in the super secret special surprise.


BIG TIME crying.

A miniature replica of the top tier of her wedding cake.

Those are fresh flowers. Just like the original. When she saw the waiter coming with it, she started crying: "THAT'S MY WEDDING CAKE! THAT'S MY WEDDING CAKE!"This is about the moment when all the diners at the other tables near ours turn around and start to applaud. (If I wasn't busy taking photos right then, I likely would have broke my arm trying to pat myself on the back.)


Oh. I suspect you're wondering about my claim I hadn't bought any gifts. That's true. I didn't buy any gifts. The gift was the photos and my friend did them for free. The frames you ask? Just gift wrapping. And the replica of her wedding cake? Nothing but dessert. Q.E.D.


Beat that for romantic.

Very awesome Andy =).

I think I'd probably be just as happy with SuperCross tickets, or the cabin for a weekend, but that's just weird ol' me. I think one of my favorite anniversaries when I was married was our 3rd... we called it our "Concrete Anniversary", and finally poured a walkway all the way across the front of the house to replace the stepping stones between the 3 front entries. But then again, I'm not particularly normal... ask around! :laugh:

And all joking aside, that was a very nicely thought out gift, Andy.
