What's the most romantic thing...

[Cil]

Wow, there are some romantic and thoughtful husbands on this board.
My guy only comes up with grand gestures about every 10 years, and they are not quite on BR's level. Every now and then (stress on then ;-)) he'll empty the dishwasher.
He's still riding high on one thing he did years ago that was a biggie for me.
I love my music in the car. I play it lung-bruisingly loud, which must look pretty weird, this 51 year old rocking out to Red Hot Chili Peppers or whatever in her Volvo wagon.
Anyway, for one Christmas, he borrowed the car, had a really cool brand new CD player and speakers put in, and had it all taken care of by the time we picked up friends for dinner. I know this does not sound romantic, but I really appreciated it!

As someone who loves her music loud too, that was really a romantic thing for your husband to do because he thought about what you would enjoy and went to a lot of trouble to do it!

The Christmas before our 25th anniversary I received a wedding invitation from my husband to OUR wedding. He planned a vow renewal on our June anniversary. We had a wedding ceremony at the church, complete with flowers and musicians, me in a beautiful ivory-colored gown. The reception was at our home with a catered dinner and a string ensemble (that included our daughter and some professional musicians). It was absolutely beautiful and very moving.

He took the diamond from my original engagement ring, found a matching stone, and a much larger one for the middle to make a three-stone diamond ring.

He took me to The Four Seasons in Maui for our honeymoon. After buying a ring like that at Neiman Marcus, the accommodations were free on our InCircle points. And the airline tickets were free because of all of his frequent flyer miles. Of course, we took our darling daughter.

That's a pretty romantic idea, don't you think?

Very romantic, very sweet. That took a lot of planning!

I have to agree, it's more of the day to day stuff. He always tries to unload the dishwasher for me because he knows I hate it. He warms my car up for me in the winter and washes it in the summer and one of the biggest things is he gets up with the kids in the morning and makes breakfast. I'm not an early bird so this is a biggie! It's the little things and I know he'd give me the world if he could.

I'm pretty tired and don't feel like typing right now, but my husband is exactly like this too! Always been very thoughful of others, and is the best Dad to our son! All these things mean so much.

She says she keeps me around because I am useful and have a strong back. Also because I can reach things on the top shelf of the kitchen cabinets.

I am sure these are not the ONLY reasons...

I couldn't agree more! My hubby likes to send flowers to my work for no reason which is wonderful. However, the most romantic thing he does for me is set up the coffee pot so that in the morning I only have to stumble in and turn it on. I am NOT a morning person and this means a lot to me. He will usually put a little post-it note on top with a sweet little message.
That's amore!

Mr. JR sets up the coffe too, even pours my cup! He vacuums regularly too! (Now this is sounding more like he's my slave than a romantic.)

Love it! Pretty nice, I'd say!

...works for me!!!! Mr. Kitty is very thoughtful and generous. I am very lucky...especially when he takes Molly out for a long walk. He also balances the checkbook after I pay the bills. He also cooks for me now and that is SO wonderful.

The Cap'n went to the nursery, bought flowers and then planted them in my garden today. Love that man!
