Been Nice Knowing Y'all

"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 ;)

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".

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

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 where you stashed the stock of cards every few years you will be OK.

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.
 
As others have said, a nice dinner is appropriate in this instance. My wife and I celebrated 29 years yesterday and we went to about the best seafood place in town to celebrate. It was worth every penny.

This man speaks wise words. I have yet to be let down by the drawer-o-cards.



 
OTOH, I remember Gracie Allen discussing George with a friend. She spoke of how when she told him what a nice man he was for remembering their anniversary in the morning he would return that evening with flowers and gifts.

The friend spoke as to what a nice thing that was for George to do.

"And it's worked three times so far this year," replied Gracie.

The only thing worse than forgetting a special date is buying an appliance for a gift! LOL They will eventually get over your forgetfulness, but they may well never get over the appliance gift.

Where most men would love a good power tool for a gift, women are wired differently.

Her note was a gentle reminder and as long as you act on it you will be fine. Just don't ignore the note!
 
Quit your whining, you think you're the only one to forget?
She'll get over it.
 
Dinner and a movie x2

Been married 41 years she still brings up those old lady stretch pants I got her on the first Christmas. They never forget, never. I'm still paying dearly for the Santa clause cake on her birthday near Christmas too it was the only cake the store had. Life's great. I know why my brother fished so much.

And NEVER, EVER say..."but you're not MY mother" on Mother's Day. Yes, we had kids and yes I really said it. Been married over 30 years now but it still comes up from time to time. She smiles but she ain't foolin' me, I look away and stand on my right to remain silent.
 
I'm double "lucky." My wife cannot remember dates to save her life. She has to check the calender to find out what day Christmas is (almost). She NEVER remembers anniversaries, birthdays, you name it. She has to ask me.

On the other hand, I'm a "date guy." I know all kinds of obscure dates from history. It's easy to "word associate." For example, our anniversary is "D-day, +1" (not the same year).

She knows that. She just has no idea when "D-day" is.
 
I forgot my very first anniversary, the first year just screamed by to fast. Boy oh boy, did I have to eat dirt. That was the ONLY time I failed at it and it hasn't happened since in 32 years.

Follow-up: The weather ruined our day trip, but we managed to have a nice dinner, some drinks and very nice evening. I'm still on the hook for a "nicer" dinner later this week, but I'm good with that.

vito, your suggestion is brilliant. :D

She told me she's not my mother. So I save $$ no gifts. I told her I'm not her father but calling me daddy is ok.

I regret not trading her in when she hit 50yo for a 30 & a 20yo. Now she's 60yo can I get three 20's?
Just what I need three more.lol
