This year marks the 6th year anniversary of my wedding proposal and our 5th year wedding anniversary.
I suppose my most romantic Valentine Day memory was the proposal... I asked my wife to marry me, at church on a Wednesday evening during a Valentine Dinner hosted by our Youth Department in a crowd of 175 people. I was on the program to sing a song that evening for the church as well as doing the next presentation. However, since it was Valentine's Day, I wanted that evening to be a little more special. I had brought crystal candelbras from home, fine china, flute stemware globlets and silver flatware for us to dine with (she still had NO clue anything was going on). Additionally, I had 2 dozen roses sent to the church (multi-colored). After I spoken I did the presentation for the church, I had our sound engineer key up OUR song, "Because You Loved Me" and I sang it. While walking over to her, she began to cry. I fell to one knee on the last verse. At the end of the song I proceeded to tell her how much I loved her. I then presented her a cake she had saw from Edible Arts that she told me would love to sample that had her engagement ring on top of it.
Now tell me... How could she say NO? haha
Consequently, every year now, we still have dinners at the church and I still do the dinners with china, crystal glassware and silver flatware.
Tonight, though... is special. It marks the first time it has fallen on a Wednesday since we've been married. Starting at 3:00pm, I have planned for us today a his/her massage (she also has a day spa package for another time), dinner at a priemere resturant in our area where I will be performing OUR sing, LIVE again, flowers have been delivered, Edible Arts has delivered her special cake and gourmet fruit basket, and for that personalized touch... something someone told me to "MAKE"... I created a "coupon booklet" for her - redeemable all year (coupons for many things - homecooked meals, footrubs, date nights, cleaning the house, etc...)
I am a hopeless romantic... but I have a BIG GRIN on my face!!!:biggrin1:
