Tomorrow's the big day!

[user 574]

Fine. Plan on giving each other a gift at the same time?

There's 3rd parties & different days involved. Back to boring meetings...

 

[ill.literate]

I'm not at liberty to discuss things like this since SWMBO is a participant around here.

But we don't observe Valentine's Day till the 20th, so today is just another day for us.

That said, she'll probably get one of her gifts this weekend.

 

[SOB]

I told my fiance that I'm not getting her anything since I bought her THE ring for x-mas. I think droppin' 5g's on a ring should be able to tide her over for at least a year...but then again, she is a woman...

I'm screwed...

You're so very, very wrong.

When I bought The Ring, I mentioned how it was going to be part of her birthday and X-mas presents. She agreed, until a month before her birthday. And then I was told what I should buy her for Christmas.

The Ring is no "Get out of presents free" gift. Although, you should get her the movie "The Ring" as a subtle reminder.

"What did your boyfriend get you for your birthday?"
"Not much...just The Ring."

Then she looks shallow.

... I got my wife some flowers over the weekend. I was at the grocery store, and they had the same flowers that we had at our wedding...

What? Spend money on flowers?! No, no, no - here's what you do: At this time of year, near birthdays, etc., scan the obituaries for people with a lot of surviving relatives and/or a lot of friends in the community. Note the funeral home location and visitation date, then go to their dumpster in the back that evening. You'll have a field day!

I got her a nice card and sent her an ecard this morning. Tonight we are spending a quiet night at home, but I'm picking up a nice dinner on the way home. We'll be having chicken fettucine Alfredo, three cheese stuffed ravioli, a Portillo's chocolate cake and some of Cheese's Mapfelwein!

Now I know why you never married.

Nice. Mapfelwein is perfect for V-day. I have some lobster ravioli at home, but I won't be home until around 10:00pm so we're finding some other time to celebrate.

I told my fiance

your first mistake

that I'm not getting her anything since I bought her THE ring for x-mas.

You're new at this aint ya?

I think droppin' 5g's on a ring should be able to tide her over for at least a year

you'll save yourself a lot of trouble if ya just stop thinking now, BTW very few chicks ever check those things, ya probably could have gone with cut glass and spent the other $4900 on brewing stuff

...but then again, she is a woman...

until the wedding day . . . then she's just female and the true hell begins

I'm screwed...

The first thing you got right all day

 

[dancingbarefoot]

Well, I didn't think things were going anywhere with the guy I'm interested in, so I wasn't planning on doing anything. But I just got a very simple "Happy Valentine's Day" e-mail from him (see, it doesn't have to be expensive or elaborately planned). And that makes my day!

It's so cute how that works when you're dating.

Then when marriage comes, it's "What an ass. All he did was send me a friggin' two line e-mail. I'm not putting out for a year and a half."

My wife is like every woman "No, don't get me anything." Been there, done that, spent 4 times as much making up the mistakes.

Had some fun last year. When the girls in the office asked what I got her, I replied "Well, I went out and got her this very expensive stretch mark cream that's supposed to work wonders. And there's this wrinkle cream that the lady behind the counter said is the best."

I've never been so quickly surrounded by so many angry woman.

this year you should tell them you got her a **** job and new iron

I was looking at a HERMS system for her. She doesn't like homebrew, but I figured that she's happiest when I'm happy.

 

[Schlenkerla]

About 10 years ago I emailed a photo of red roses. I intended it to be sarcasm but she actually liked it alot. I sent it at 4pm so she was thinking I forgot. It was a surprise to her that I remembered.

The previous year I didn't buy anything because we were pretty poor but managed to come home half in the bag.

Almost as pissed as if I used the "C" word. Came home to find my beer bottles in the sink and her with a hammer bustin' the bottles.

I got smart now I use PETs.

And of course I buy something!

If I would have caught her busting my bottles "the C word" would have just be a start of what I was going to say . . .
did you at least hide the hammer?

 

[Schlenkerla]

I think the c word did come out at that time. Several others. I started breakin' her stuff. It got ugly real fast. I'm amazed we didn't kill each other.

Yes the hammer is gone.

Is this the same guy who asked if he could brew with you?

If it is, he wants to brew with you right after the first date AND he sent a Happy Vday email, he sounds like a keeper!

By the way, we don't exchange cards or gifts. Bob will start on a rant about "greeting cards holidays" and how we treats me well every day and that is more important, blah blah blah. But when we were dating, I got flowers, gifts, notes, etc. I'll give him a beer or two and call it good.

 

[knewshound]

I bought her a new ring...

Whatdaya think? Remind you of anything?

Looks a lot like the steering wheel on a VW I used to own....

Cheers,

knewshound

 

[Cheesefood]

Still makes me laugh. Think the person who designed the ring knows it's a goatse ring?

Yeah, same guy. Still not quite sure what's going on there, but the valentine greeting is a good sign.

It reminds me of the scene in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective 2 when Ace is trying to get out of the fake rhino thru the #2 hole! All you need is a head stickin' thru

Yes, I TOLD her, and yes, she listened! I got a good one on my arm - don't be jelous

And I knew she wouldn't check the ring out, but I like buying quality products, o matter what it is. Plus, I like her having a ring I am proud of...

On another note, I keep hearing good things (sarcasm) about this whole "marriage" thing...It's reassuring to know that after we get married my life will be better than it ever has been...right?

 

[Pumbaa]

You'll be fine (probably) hell all of the rest of us seem to survive marriage . . .

Just remember . . .
The only thing WORSE then being married is being single

 

[SOB]

I just love how all I hear is how much marriage sux. I'm not worried about it, she's a wonderful girl. Hell, anyone that can put up with me and dish back the insults my family jokingly sends her way constatly, I know I've got a keeper.

All I'm worried about is going to the Philippines in May and meeting her family for the first time! Not only have I never been outta the country (I dont consider Canada "out of the country") I have never spoke with her family before and we've been together for over 2 years! Should be interesting...

 

[Biermann]

See, you guys go out and buy jewelry, flowers, trips overseas, etc. . .

All you are doing is setting the bar for yourself (and every other man) that much higher for next year.

My wife and I agreed not to get anything this year.

I knew better. I knew damn good and well she'd go out and spend at least $100 on me, and when I showed up home with nothing, I'd be castrated (metaphorically speaking, of course).

So, today, I caved, got her a few roses, and $100 toward a Victoria Secret gift card (I figured I'd benefit from that), and I'm making dinner. When I got home from the store, sure as $#it, there was a pile of gifts on the kitchen island.

At least I don't think I'll be sleeping on the couch now.

 

[dibby33]

I got a rose!!! ...a six pack would have been better though!

...4th day of being on call and no beer. 8 to go . Not missing it at all, not one bit. AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH

 

[dancingbarefoot]

Guys, you just need to be ultra-smooth like this:



(Where the hell do they dig this stuff up?)

 

[Ize]

Cards gang. And like I said earlier, her office was closed today so she should be getting flowers at the office tomorrow, but th-th-th-th-th, That's All Folks! :rockin:

And for the record, it's a made up bullsh!t holiday, and we both know it. That's why we don't do much.

Besides, her birthday is next friday.

Ize

 

[SOB]

Me? I cooked dinner, like usual and we had a bottle of Champagne (sp?) left over from New Years. So were getting drunk and watchin' a movie.

She said she wanted 8 inches and she wanted it hard. So I stuck it in her twice and punched her in the face.

V-Day...over!

 

[knipknup]

Nice. Mine got 8 tonight.

Mine got 8 too...


oh, you're talking snow...

 

[knipknup]

Actually, we were married 13 years ago on 2/19. She flew out of town the week before so we missed valentines day that year and haven't celebrated it since. We don't typically do much for our anniversary either - mutually agreed upon. "Our" idea of the perfect anniversary is Schlotskys and a movie. "My" idea has more to do with the 8 inches...

 

[RichBrewer]

Flowers, a card, dinner, chocolate fountain for dessert, then who knows...
