Wedding Anniversary = Exempt :)

Too much pressure and expectancy, I prefer to make a fuss of the old girl when she's least expecting it..

Good idea, surprise confetti cannon will be promptly set up in the bathroom for when she is doing business, as well as some flash paper roses.
 
I don't understand all the Married guys who can't even be bothered to get a card and some flowers for their Mrs. It's literally a 10 minute job that will pay dividends for months.
I've got my girlfriend a card and a Pandora charm because she likes them, I'll probably get some her some flowers as well if I have the opportunity tomorrow.

Its a 2-way street you know :) besides when you've been married/together long enough the little things you do for each other once in a while (saw this and thought of you etc) counts far more than any single one day event that your only doing because society tells us to.

I'm not sure, she said she's getting me a really good gift, I'll find out tomorrow I guess

I get that, I just think a card and some flowers would go very far and it's a missed opportunity. Women LOVE to tell their female friends what their partner got them for valentines day, it's a huge plus to them if they can say you got them something - however small.

I've spent the last 18 months or so convincing the Mrs that I'm against the idea of cut flowers, that I find it morally wrong and she'll never get flowers from me. It started off as a jest, but when she fell for it I decided to keep it going for a while because... well then I need not waste my money on flowers.

Getting a bunch of soon to be dead flowers delivered to her work tomorrow, hopefully should be a nice surprise.

Or not. When she realises that you've just been a cheapskate who has been having her on this whole time. :p
 
We've got a tip run planned for tomorrow. :D After that a dinner and a film.

Couple of years ago we went to pick up something small from IKEA around lunch time and ended up having dinner there. We're classy like that.
 
Making a 240 mile surprise trip along with picking up flowers from a local florist and then hopefully grab a takeaway. All coincides with time off from the 15th for a few days.

As much as i appreciate peoples view that valentines day is a day manufactured by consumerism and societal pressures i cant help but feel it should be at least acknowledged in some form in all relationships. While i understand roses and Clinton cards are not everyone's cup of tea any reason to appreciate the other half is never a bad thing.
 
She has found the main Valentines gift, so i gave her the card that goes with it.

Yeah its a bit early but its no surprise to her that i am a premature congratulater




:p
 
We weren't going to do much as we have just got back from a break in Barcelona and we said that would be our thing - we were going to just cook a meal together.

But then today I had a change of heart, it's our first one and we like going out for dinner and stuff so why not go on Valentine's day as well? So I booked up somewhere.

We're not doing presents, just cards.

I do get the cynicism, but... well, why not? It's harmless. Yeah, companies want to make money. That's what they're supposed to do.

I don't need an excuse to treat her, but I'll take one.
