- French Rabbit. This can be elaborate or inexpensive. This was
arranged by a wife for her husband and takes a lot of preplanning.
She went to several stores and purchased gifts and made arrangements
with the store to give her husband the gift and the next clue
when he arrived. She sent him off in a limo with the first clue.
The clue told him the name of the store and he was to go in and
ask for the "French Rabbit". It was a lot of fun because
the store personnel were watching for him. As I recall he was
sent to a candy store and got candy, a clothing store, a place
where he was given cologne and several others and ended up at
a hotel where she met him and had reservations for the night.
It could also be arranged to meet her somewhere for dinner or
end up at home for a nice dinner.
- On the way to the car after church one Sunday, I put a gun (water
gun of course) against my husband’s side and told him that
I was kidnapping him for the afternoon and he was to do everything
I told him to do. We drove to a city about 30 miles away, went
to a nice place for dinner, a Sunday movie matinee, a hotel room
and was back home by bedtime. After such a fun afternoon my husband
often asked me when I was going to kidnap him again!
- When Rhonda and Alan had their last wedding anniversary Alan
made special arrangements with a local restaurant to be ready
when they arrived for their date. He had purchased a plastic tablecloth,
prior to the occasion, and written memories all over it with a
permanent marker. He also had a bouquet of a dozen roses on the
table. During dinner they read the things Alan had written and
together added other special memories.
- On our 6-month anniversary, Jerry sent me 6 pink rosebuds. He
was in basic training after being drafted during the Viet Nam
era.
- My sister gave my husband and I an anniversary do-it-yourself
basket. The basket included a large candle, a CD of romantic piano
music, a bottle of non-alcoholic wine, two wine glasses and a
small cake that she baked and decorated.
