Congratulations, after years of wedded bliss, it’s time to celebrate a landmark Anniversary. You bought her the ring, now you need some ideas on how to give it to her. I know you guys, and no, tossing it to her before you grab a bagel on your way to work is not going to cut it! Here are a few ideas on ways to make this evening the date to trump all dates, the anniversary that will remind your lovely bride why she married you in the first place.
Bring her back to the beginning.
Revisiting the site of your first date is a fun way to reminisce about when you first fell in love and how nervous you both were in the beginning. By this point, you know each other better than a mom knows the number of freckles on her little baby’s hiney and to “make it like the first time” will no doubt bring back the ol’ butterflies and sweaty palms you had so many years ago.
Sneak away for a romantic weekend.
This one takes some extra planning and forethought, but there’s nothing like the look on a woman’s face when she finds out that what she thought was a weekend at the in-law’s house, is really three days and two nights in Cabo or, if you’re a winter wedding couple, a cozy cabin in the middle of a light snow fall. (Just remember to pack her a separate bag for the trip.)
Do it wedding singer style.
Find a music teacher with a little extra time on her hands to give you a music lesson or two. Then, do a little research and find anyone that will let you publicly serenade your lady to the tune of the song the two of you danced to at your wedding so many years ago. Make sure to practice, think of Mr. Schuester in Fox’s new hit Glee, so as to dazzle your wife with skills she never knew you had. Try such venues as jazz clubs, ball parks, plays or even a concert…anywhere you have a little pull would be helpful, but you’ll be surprised how many romantics there are out there willing to help.
Make a home movie.
Gather all the pictures and videos you can find of the two of you over the years, pick some romantic music and with the help of a friend or some creative computer software you can make a pretty darn good movie! Design fake movie tickets and stock your special seats with cushions and wine if you want to add that special touch. Whether or not the movie is Oscar worthy, there isn’t a woman in the world who doesn’t love a good chick flick.
A beautiful Anniversary Ring will speak for itself, of course, but presenting it to her in the perfect setting will make you the hero for years to come. That is…if you don’t do something to end up in the dog house, then good luck because whatever spectacular event you plan this year, you’ll have to top it again next year!
