10th Wedding Anniversary?

That sounds pretty good, 914driver. Unfortunately we will be in Quebec at kinda fancy places, and I don't know if I would be able to make my intentions clear, or if the Québécois waitstaff would be inclined to assist in a similar surprise...

2 years with no babysitter and you're wondering what to do? Get a frikkin' babysitter and have a night together without the 2-year-old.

Poop- go for a day cruise, get her to try out the Rear Admiral.

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 ...

You gave her a chocolate stained $5 bill?

It's part of the plan. In the first post.

Oy. This boy needs some training up.

Bastomatic, make your intentions clear. Read it again. Put $10 in with the note.

Jeeezzzz, no wonder you guys are all backed up.

There is a lot of confusion here. But yeah, I was joking.

My 10th is tomorrow. We haven't been on a real vacation since our honeymoon so we plan on doing that later this year. As such we agreed no gifts. It'll probably backfire on me.....

Be ready just in case. If it turns out you don't need it you can save it for the next holiday.

As usual ECM is 100% right.

Gina says, get a nice room, hot tub, some champagne, chocolate strawberrys and this time make her happy.

Don't ask me, I'm a guy, all I have is HTFU.

Holy E36 M3 some of those are real things?

I am not sure what that says about me... or my marriage... or yours. Nevermind.

I refuse to say anything on this matter as I may incriminate myself, I take the 5th

I'm surprised that the "PIITB" guy hasn't spoken up yet - or did that "rear admiral" comment cover it?

What does HTFU mean? I always assumed the H stood for HURRY but I've seen it used in a way that tells me I'm wrong.

Thanks to Copper Reed, the scumbag

Ahhhhhh, so. Thanks.

So, I stole your idea, Dan. Booked the best seat at a really nice restaurant. On the way home from work yesterday, I dropped off the jewelry, and had the server bring it out with dessert. Worked flawlessly. Mama was very pleased.

Good job!

Happy wife. Happy life.

Our 10th was last year. The one thing she wanted to have a party for our friends and family. I took my vacation the week before and spent it cooking and cleaning. Rented a bunch of tables, chairs. a bouncy castle, and a porta potty. It was probably the best thing I could have done for her.

It's a good thing he asked. When they start dropping hints you're on the clock.

Poop: Great Job.

We didn't do anything special for our tenths (last year). This year she got a new diamond ring. Not suggesting that for Poop... but it was what worked for her.

Ended up not buying anything for her, we just laid back and enjoyed a road trip away from home and the baby for five days (thanks Mom!) The capstone was when we got upgraded to a falls view room at Niagara, with a huge balcony and whirlpool tub.

Turned out just perfect.
