10th Wedding Anniversary?

OK, the pearl necklace goes without saying.

Aside from that, Mrs. Poop's sister got her one of those "fancy" charm bracelets for xmas (Pandora, maybe?) Waiting for her to let me know what brand, but I figured I'd do a charm or three for that thing, plus an unexpected "first real date night in two years" at a nice restaurant, sans-2-year-old (Wife's best friend has already offered to babysit.)

Does that sound all "thoughtful" and E36 M3? I wish kick-ass-vacation was in the cards, but we're going to have to hold off on that for a couple months.

Any other suggestions? We usually don't do E36 M3 for each other.

Show her this post so she knows your thoughtful enough to ask a bunch of clueless guys about it

I think that sounds very thoughtful and E36 M3.

Nice job. I was thinking along these lines:

I've finally figured out who you are, Poop!

Brodie: Passionate... yeah...

also, let's not forget the rest

Rene: That was too little too late.

Brodie: Too little? You said it was a good size!

Rene: The effort, you retard. The effort was too little too late.

[pause]

Rene: But, now that you mention it, when a girl says its a good size, that's a nice way of saying that it's small.

Keeping in mind that she hates cars, or rather my addiction to them, any other thoughts from ah laydeee? I thought about taking her and the kiddo up to the badass state park where I proposed, but it's hit or miss on the condition of the "roads" up there. Potential for typical "anything romantic I try to do turns to E36 M3" hijinks: High.

Funnay: I had the proposal all planned out. We'd do a one hour hike to our most favoritist, stunningly beautiful spot in said park. Stand on top of this badass waterfall, and I'd ask her to marry me. I made a pretty pimp wooden box for the ring. Had it in my back-pack all wrapped up so there's now way she'd see it if she were digging around in there.

Got halfway into the park, and the damned road was CLOSED. I'm sure there was another way to get to the falls, but I only know one way in, and I've gotten lost and terrified out there before.

So we turn around. On the way back, there's this wimpy little waterfall. I'm all "Hey let's check this out!" I get the "WTF?" look, but it's at least KINDA romantic, and there was no bailing now, as I'd already rented this huge badass cabin for us to stay in for the weekend (in hindsight, I should've just proposed in the hot tub.)

Anyway, we get out. Someone had camped their the night before, so there's a little fire pit and freakin' trash laying everywhere. Trash had attracted yellowjackets (which I'm allergic to.) She's all "Let's get the berkeley out of here." All red-faced and disappointed, I say "Wait here for a second."

She knew what was up. I got down in the mud and asked her to marry me, she said yes, and we got the berkeley outta there.

Worst proposal evar?

"Unt tsss, unt tsss, unt tsss, unt tsss."

In reply to poopshovel:

Yes, that's the worst ever.

Also, I just realized that you asked me for help, and I insinuated that you had a small penis.

Funny, maybe, but not entirely helpful.

Bring her out there again, and redo it. Make sure it will work, and have vows rewritten for her. It will be cute, inexpensive, and more your style than just a bracelet and E36 M3.

Good call. On the tiny weiner, that is.

Awesome story Definitely take her up to the badass waterfall spot. Bring wasp spray this time, just in case.

The Pandora Charm is a mixed bag. Guys love it because every birthday, anniversary and holiday, you can go and grab a charm. Bam, done. Girls however, realize that you are not putting much thought into each gift and if that is all you do, they might not be happy.

I got the LOML a starter bracelet, and have been giving her charms that signify something for a while. For mother's day, I took her in and let her pick her own charm. She knows that it is part of each occasion, and she is into it. Plus, once the thing is full it will be worth more than my house*, and that always makes ladies happy.

(*OK, not quite. But some charms are up there!)

Better than mine. I was broke and it came at a bad time in my life, so my proposal was pretty weak. It worked, though, thank goodness.

I didn't even have a ring for my proposal. Thank goodness she was surprised that I wanted to get married (we had been dating for many years) and said yes and didn't mind the no ring thing. I'm a dummy.

On second thought, hour drive, plus hour hike there, plus hour hike back, plus hour drive home with a 2-year-old prolly ain't gonna happen, and we've never done the babysitter thing up to this point.

A friend of mine--ex roommate--took his girlfriend on a trip from Illinois to South Carolina to see her family, stopping on the way for various hiking trails on the Appalachian trail. They get to the top of the mountain, and she is lying down stretching when John calls over to her to come to a beautiful spot about 20 yards away. She gets up and walks over, thinking to herself "This would be a beautiful spot for a proposal," and says jokingly "John, will you marry me?"

John is standing there open mouthed, ring box in his hand... "Uh... no... will you marry me?"

worth it - especially if Mom & Dad or whomever is important is hanging out at the top waiting for you. I'll babysit.

Dude, this is Poop we're talking about. Of course he meant it that way.

She's familiar with the "Sad Clown," the "Anne Frank," and the "Hong Norr Hotdog Harmonica."

So yeah. Pearl Necklace is pedestrian in our house.

Congrats. Our 10 year is coming right up in the next couple weeks as well, and we have a small road trip planned for a few days to get away on our own, leaving the kid with the in laws.

My wife doesn't wear or like jewelry, and doesn't really have a lot of hobbies. I am clueless as to what to get her. Sorry I'm no help

Don't think I'm gonna make it to my tenth anniversary.

Same deal here. The best was when she started working out. Bought her a berkeleying PIMP set of weights, belts, bands, all that E36 M3. Sadly, no hobbies now. I thought about buying her a gun. She'd dig that. But $$$ is a little tight right now.

She's typically not at ALL into jewelry, but she really loves that charm bracelet thing. Wears it all the time, and it looks a little silly as it's thin on the "charm" right now.

Me, two seconds ago: "HOLY E36 M3 THEY GOT A berkeleyIN STEELERS BEAD!"

$200.

Gulp.

I bought a neclace for Mrs. 914 on our anniversary. I wrote a note (I used MS Word Poop) and folded up to about the size of a book of matches, the necklace and a $5 was inside. On the outside of the note I wrote TAKE THIS.

I slipped the note out and held it to the menu, when the server took the menu the note went also.

The note said:

At the end of the meal, whether she declines a dessert or not, please bring the lady a cup of hot tea and Bacalava with this draped over it".

It worked, she exclaimed "How did you do that!" The server got all warm and runny about how romantic that was ...
