congrats!

play some pc games?! go to dinner nude?

do the cheesy thing and take a long walk on the beach? it's still warm up there right?

surpriser her at work with some flowers and not sure what else.

[xRyokenx]

Build a life size sculpture of her out of cheese?

[danthegeek]

She hates video games.... I know, how have we lasted so long??? Going to dinner nude may be fun but then I would be to tired for later. :D
As much as I would like to sculpt her out of cheese, it may start to smell a bit funny.

I think I may make her lunch then take her out to a romantic dinner. Then.... well :D

[OvRiDe]

There is always that whole proposal thing.. you wasted 4 years.. whats 50-60 more??

JK... :D

Maybe go to a theater show, opera, cook her dinner, or just something that she knows you would normally not do if it weren't for her. Those are the things that really stand out in the OS's minds.

Although the cheese thing is pretty good too...

4 years, eh. I have yet to find someone at all >_>

You're bound to find someone, dude. Just be patient... worked for me... lol.

I'll be starting school in a few days, so that'll probably introduce me to a bunch of new people. It's hard to wait sometimes though.

[xRyokenx]

It's hard to wait sometimes though.

Don't I know it, lol... the other hard part is going to visit her. Stupid internet, lol.

Sorry for the hijack, Dan, lol.

[DaJe]

Lawls, my name is Dan too.

[xRyokenx]

Lawls, my name is Dan too.
Heh heh. Well, sorry for the hijack, danthegeek. :D

Go parasailing?? Sky diving? Hot air balloon? (although all of those may run you up to 300 bucks... it's worth it, especially for such an occasion. I'm planning on the parasailing for sierra and I's one year next month.)

EDIT: lmao at the side conversations.......:rolleyes:

A "Maze" is always fun and romantic. Post cards and trails leading to where your hiding in the house.

"Goto the bathroom" and in the bathroom theyll be a bunch of choclate with a note that says "Head downstairs"....etc

I've done it before and had it done to me, it seriously never gets old.

[noopypoop]

Have a fondue party? Thats always fun:)

[simon275]

Go to a botanical gardens and have a picnic.

Go Hiking together.

Go rock climbing together and make it so you depend on one another so the other person doesnt fall.

grats on 4 years - but dude - you're planning your 'something special' one day in advance...... my gf would have me by the grapes if i'd left it that late!

figuring in the shot time to plan - how about something real soppy (i have to say that to look tuff right) like a trip down memory lane - recreate ur 1st date or a key date from early on... throw together a mix cd of tunes that will take you back to when u were 'discovering each other'.

works in the movies dammit!

:D have a goodun

I definitely agree here. I did the same thing with long stem roses. Except I made it more of a riddle. She had a tredmill, so; 'go somewhere that keeps you healthy'. Stuff like that works. Although you have to end it good. The last part needs a prize for completing it. If you are scrambling for time send her to the place you had a first date or important one and so on until you can go with the strong finish. Good luck man. 4 years is a good time. My gf and I are on our way to 4 also. 3.4 right now.

Fill her car with balloons... Write something mushy on each one.

My SO hates video games too and we've been together 18 years...

Needsleep; Yes, my "grapes" would be bruised if I waited till the day before. Heck I am already planning our 20th a year and a half in advance... She is still nervous...

[Luke122]

LOL... I cant remember if I got married in 06, or 07!

Hehehe... jk. *sort of*

[calumc]

melted chocolate is fun.....
You could do the whole candlelit dinner at home what pink champagne and strawberries and an array of lickable foodstuffs if you catch my drift....

[danthegeek]

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Unfortunately, her father had to go to the hospital. No big deal, I think it was intentional.

So, our plans changes. I bought her some roses and we went out to dinner. Although, I did just get home (1 A.M.) :D.

Anyways, thanks guys.

I hope everything is ok, and I'm sorry to hear you had to change your plans at the last minute.

Sound like me. I'm lucky though because my wife and I both have the same problem, we often can't remember if we got married on April 20 or 22. We have celebrated our Anniversary early more than once because we were both wrong. We were married on the 22. For other significant days in other months, her birthday is on a 21st, one of our daughters was born on a 23rd, The other on a 25th. It all blurs together.

[Airbozo]

Good to hear you got to spend some quality time together!


Indy; For the first 5 years of our marriage, the wife was the one that forgot our anniversary. I have never let her forget it. ;) Funny thing is, she _never_ forgets other things. I think she was still in shock. :D
