Back in the last century (1960s) when we were long on love and short on money, Joe being “a romantic at heart” could never resist the urge to buy me flowers for our anniversary. He always got me two dozen gorgeous red roses. He would show up, flowers in hand, smiling ear to ear. Now I ask you, how can you get mad at a guy who showers you with roses (it could happen).
We were so cash challenged, and the flowers would take a bite out of our budget. Joe would rob Peter to pay Paul as the old saying goes to make sure I got the roses. He would take peanut butter & jelly sandwiches for lunch instead of eating at a restaurant. He gave up hot lunches on cold days to pay for the roses. Unselfish acts like this is what binds a marriage together for a lifetime.
My tip for you is flowers last a few days, memories of sacrifice a lifetime.
Beautiful Aunt Molly. Billy and I haven't been married long enough to have enough to elaborate. Since our bdays sandwhich our anniversary, we party like rock stars. We take an entire week to celebrate. In our short five years of actual marriage we are usually out of town somewhere. So far we have been to disney a couple times and vegas a couple times. We always make a spectacle of the event. Just like our wedding night, we are having a blast. it ranges from dancing the night away to watching the fireworks over Cinderella's castle!!! I have plans for future anniversaries they will include: NYC, Italy, Cali, etc... Too bad our love story is fairly new!!!
