Every spring my H looks for the first wild violets in the woods nearby and brings me a small bunch, he has done this since our first year together and is still doing it some 27 years later. We dance, often, in the kitchen, the garden to the sound of our tune in our heads. The little things mean most to me, anyone can buy something, but the little things that require thought and time mean the most to me.

just waking up beside each other every morning is romantic for us (22 years) however on december 11th my wife (see her in my avatar) turns 50, and i have arranged a big secret party for her at one of our favourite resturants, and i am flying in her best friend of 48 years (from manila where my wife is from) and a bunch of other rellies from other parts of australia to be with her.

 

PLUS

 

i have finally located a picture frame that has our wedding vows typed on a nice sheet of paper under the glass, and i will be learning these vows again (yes i forgot them) and i will be reciting those vows to her during the night while our wedding song is being played "I Need You" by America.

 

i will offer that frame to her after i have finished so she can read her vows back to me if thats what she wants to do.

 

hope you like my post :)

I'd say pack up what she was able to fit in two luggage bags and move 9000 miles to be with me.

 

:)......it's neat that after a year+ this is the first thing to come out as your thoughts...

We rented a cottage one summer and in the bathroom was an old fashioned cast iron bathtub. Problem was, we had no hot water so I figured no bath!

 

Had a nap one rainy afternoon, my husband woke me up and told me to go in the bathroom.

 

Apparently while I was sleeping he'd quietly snuck into the kitchen and boiled water in pots to fill up the tub for me...Said he must have boiled over 40 pots of water!

My father was recovering from lung cancer surgery so my parents hadn't had a chance to meet H and at the time, a parental meet was a bit early in the relationship.

 

In order to propose, H. called them up and visited them on the sly, asking my father for my hand in marriage and asking my mother for my ring size. Surprisingly, my parents gave no hint of it, keeping the secret from everyone. :love:

He flew 12,000 miles to meet me for the first time ........ without even knowing what I looked like! He said he loved who I was on the inside so he would love the outside too. :love:

 

We're not married yet (next year!), but if we make it to our dotage together, that's going to be a hard one for him to beat.

i was going on a 10 day vacation to europe alone... and then like something out a movie, i am waiting for my flight and i see him strolling along through the airport with his bags... i was in complete shock and of course extremely happy... it was completely romantic that he'd surprise me that way. he's a super romantic man, and likes to do very big, grand gestures to show his affection.

I love to hear stories about the romantic/cute/sweet/adorable/special things people do for their mates! :bunny:

 

My husband is not naturally romantic. He's a very frank, blunt, and sarcastic person. When I first met him, I couldn't figure him out; he's also very mysterious. :love: However, he is trying little by little to do romantic things cause he knows I appreciate it.

 

Last Friday when he came home from work, he gave me an invisible flower. :love: I made a big show and breathed in its fragrance, then put it in an invisible vase. To me, this is very romantic because I have an active imagination and adore games like that (whenever something happens, like when my book fell off the bed, we blame it on my mischievous unicorn.)

 

Just goes to show that spending money is not always romantic and it's the thought that really does count. :D

 

The most romantic thing that my hubby does for me is sing to me while playing his guitar!!! :love::love::love:

My husband isn't very spontaneous and I guess the most romantic thing he's done was getting on one knee to propose to me.

My husband is a very romantic man. People would be shocked to hear of the things he does for me. It doesn't have to be a grand gesture; my husband does little things that melt my heart.

 

The day that my husband and I made love for the first time, he bought me red roses for the occasion. My hubby also lined his hallway with tealight candles an his bed had red rose petals all over it.

 

No other man ever bought me flowers just because we were going to bed together for the first time.

 

We met the week of my 25th birthday. My husband took me out for a night on the town with a visit to a romantic restaurant, a pub for drinks and a tourist attraction which offered a breathtaking view. It was the best first date I ever had! :love:

What can I say, it was a great excuse to buy new things. :p

 

I'd say giving me an engagement ring on NYE when we were at the Opera House with fireworks going off was the most romantic thing. But he does plenty of them, he's very sweet. :love:

My husband used to sing and play the guitar for me. :love: I think the invisible flower is adorable.

 

 

There's nothing quite like being serenaded. :love: It's a very special feeling to know he cares enough to make music for you, huh?

 

The most romantic thing he ever did was to give me a puppy instead of a ring when he proposed, we didn't have the money right then for a ring, and he told me that he wanted something symbolize his committment and the way our love would grow together and that someday he'd have the money to get me the ring I deserved. I named her Diamond.

6 months later, on Christmas eve he gave me a beautiful ring but the prettiest diamond I ever got had a waggey tail and chocolate brown eyes. :)

 

Wow!!!! :love: So beautiful!!! Yes that's so romantic and nothing says love and commitment so much as a puppy!!! :love: Diamond is a beautiful name for her. :)

He does so many romantic things for me all the time, it's really hard to pick out any single thing. In terms of grand gestures, whisking me off to the most beautiful city in the world, to a sparkling beach at sunset on a full-moonlit night to one of the top seafood restaurants for a romantic meal on the seashore, followed by a moonlight stroll and the most passionate lovemaking along the water's edge, has to rate highly, but I'm not sure that that sort of thing outranks smaller day-to-day demonstrations of his love like waking me gently every morning with a kiss and a cup of tea, massaging the action of the day out of my body, cooking wonderful meals, sending me loving texts even if he's in the same room as me, holding me close always, or making sure I'm always happy.

There's a lot of things my husband does that are sweet and romantic, and we have a long history together, so I could probably fill a book. Some of the things that stand out in my mind are, when we first started dating, he had flowers delivered to my door after every date. And mailed a romantic card to me after every date. He would alway hold the door open for me and offer his arm to me when we are walking together, and to this day he still does. I remember when we planned a trip to Paris and I had tried to get a reservation at a famous restaurant there, to no avail. He knew how much I wanted to go there, so he called them and got us a reservation somehow. He usually answers my phone calls by singing a song with my name in it, or he answers by saying "Yes, lovely one?" :love: Once, when we had a big argument about something, he brought me a dozen roses every day for about a week--a different color of rose every day. Hard to stay mad at a guy who makes that kind of a gesture. He always offers me a bottle of water every time I leave the house. Always shows me such caring gestures.

Well.. he is not my husband, but my SO...

 

He is moving 13,000kms to be with me... :love:

He also is a musician and sends me videos of him singing and playing guitar.

He wrote me a song too... but I haven't heard it yet.. i'm sure he wants to finish it properly. Can't wait!

 

Love is a verb.

My partner has done lots of very sweet things. When we first got together his cooking skills didn't go past sandwich making so he ordered in a chinese take away and had it all served up with candles and flowers which was so cute. He also booked us a couple of days at the coast because for in a couple of weeks because we couldn't afford a holiday this year (bought a house instead!). Also the other day, I have been so stressed with work while I was out he completely cleaned the house and had a cup of tea ready for when I came in. He's lovely :-)

'Most' romantic? Damn, that one's a tossup. :) If I absolutely had to choose one, it would probably be back when we were in an LDR and hadn't met for 6 months. He was a student on an incredibly tight budget, but somehow managed to eke out 5000 dollars of our currency to make the several-thousand mile flight to see me during the only break he'd get during the year.

For me, it is always the smaller gestures that show me on a day-to-day basis that outweigh the grand gestures. Like:

 

  • He always leaves me the nicer car, if we both have to drive somewhere;
  • If I get back later than him, he always has the house tidied, the chores done, a meal cooking and a hot drink waiting for me;
  • He always makes sure I get my fill of Os before attending to his;
  • He will shower first so that the water is nice and hot for me;
  • When we bath together, he takes the side with the plug and taps;
  • He will make me a complicated cocktail before pouring himself a glass of wine;
  • He brings me flowers and leaves love notes all over the house for me to find;
  • He takes me to see my favourite musicians even if he's not that bothered;
  • He makes sure I always know I'm the most important person in his life;
  • He is highly attuned to my moods and strives to keep me happy;
  • He takes so much trouble choosing appropriate gifts;
  • He is always willing to try new things;
  • He continually offers me new, exciting experiences so that we build an ever-bigger bank of great memories.

How could I have forgotten - One Christmas, H asked me to fetch something from the living room for him, I went in and there was a 7 foot blow up Santa (tis a long standing family joke) with a box balanced in his hands. I opened it and found it contained a wedding ring with the word Cariad (Welsh for darling, sweetheart) engraved inside. I had lost mine, he took some small Welsh gold pieces my mother had left me and had them melted down and made into a beautiful ring, he used the rest to have a pinky ring made for our son with a Welsh dragon engraved on it. I was so touched that he thought to do this. Last spring he had planted snowdrops which when in bloom and viewed from our bedroom window spell out Cariad.

 

Just remembering these has prompted me to go make his favourite cake !! Great thread.

My husband has started opening the car door for me every time we go somewhere together. That is a surprise for me because before he didn't do that and I've never insisted that he do that... the first time he did that, when we were dating, I did tell him he's a gentleman. That led to an argument cause he said he wasn't lol so we did the "uh huh" "nuh uh" thing for awhile which was fun too. :p

 

I don't know why he started being more consistent with opening the car door, but I think it's very romantic and very gentlemanly of him. :love::love::love: (I just don't call him a gentleman anymore unless we feel like arguing). :p

Wow, not too many romantic/creative females here are there. :p

 

Just kidding. But it is nice to hear ladies raving about their husbands instead of bashing them.
