Been Nice Knowing Y'all

Oh yes, I'm going pay for this one. All I can do at this point is somehow make the day special. Monday's plans just went out the window and the focus has shifted entirely.

Damage control, lots and lots of damage control.

Lotsa good suggestions above, just don't get her a new vacume cleaner:eek:

Seriously, if she's working? get FTD or somebody? to deliver her a card and a dozen fire and ice roses. The card should say that you would love her company at a fine restaurant that evening. That's what I did to Heather back in 1995. Not only did I have the best evening of my life then, but believe it or not, Heather was the one who started talk of getting married. Heather actually asked me.:) Anyway, those fire and ice roses, for a dozen back in 95, went for around $130. I don't know what they go for now? but they CAN help get you out of ''another fine mess.''
 
Her first words to me this morning: "You forgot, didn't you. Don't worry, it's Monday and nothing will be open. Let's celebrate later this week."

I knew there was a reason I married this one. Still feeling small, but lucky too. Moving ahead with plans to make today special. Going to take her into town once the roads thaw out, have a nice lunch and then go "antiquing".

Best part is I still get to look forward to "later this week".

Sounds like a keeper. Only you will know if you dodged the hit or will take the rebound down the road :).

I miss my anniversary by two days almost every year. Fortunately the actual date is the 4th while I think it's the 2nd. Almost like a long running joke, she gives me the "You Dumb***" look, laughs and we move on.
She accepts my mental deficiencies almost as well as my dog.
 
I used to give my wife the same thing every year, I would tie a bow on it and say see what I have for you:D she would say OH NO not that again:eek::D:D

Just depends on what the bow is tied to? No problem if its a new car, tickets to some vacation destination, box of chocolates etc. ;)
 
Too late for the OP, but its not a bad idea to buy SEVERAL anniversary, birthday and holiday cards (for whatever holidays you normally give a card) in advance so that at the last minute you can still look prepared. Buying three or four in each category covers you for several years, and as long as you remember to replenish the stock of cards every few years you will be OK.
 
"Dear, I love you SOOO MUCH"...."I want to be with you at all times"

"So your beautiful anniversary gift is still at the store". "It's is too big for me to carry it to you, so that's why I've waited till after breakfast".

"But I will give you a hint". It's something that you and I can do together, day and night, week-end and holidays included".

It's a brand new re-loading press, tumbler, measurer, everything".

"I only saw one color for it in the store, but I'll paint it pink if you want, or any other favorite color you chose'..

"Now Now, Dear, don't cry...I knew you'd be happy, but I didn't know it would bring you to tears".

"Think of it this way Dear". "It'll be sort of like me doing the dishes or laundry for you all year long". If you don't want to re-load, I'll do it all for you". "How's that"?

Unless you're looking forward to a slow, painful death, never forget birthdays, Christmas, Valentines Day, Engagement day, anniversary of first date, etc.
 
Just call a good restaurant and get the best table they have. Don't tell her that you forgot the anniversary, just act like you did forget but then you surprise her with a good night out ;)

Yep, you married the right one. Congratulations on your choice.

Fixed it for me :D !
 
Sit down and write a letter to your wife telling her why you love her. Add memories of things she has done or said that made you fall in love all over again. Don't make things up or write it because you are trying to get out of trouble or save face. Tell her how you feel. She will keep that letter for the rest of her life and read it over and over again. If you go before she does, she will have that letter to remember you and how you felt about her. Better than flowers, restaurants, or any other gifts. Still take her out for a nice meal and clean the house for being forgetful.
