I just remembered, I forgot my anniversary!!

Sign in to disble this ad
Today is my 13th wedding anniversary. I totally had no idea until I got to work and wrote the date down for the first time......

I plan on stopping on the way home, and getting some roses and a card...... Dinner out of course......

I'm not in the dog house yet, I don't think.

Anything else last minute that will win me some points, and throw her off the fact I totally blanked?

a holding text/email might be your friend at this point... something like, don't make any plans for this evening nudge wink etc.

so wifey is lured into the impression that you didn't completely pike out on remembering the date

I just put a blurb out on my FB page to establish a time line! I like your idea as well! I'm on it!

Send her flowers, way better than bringing them to her. That way, everyone at her work sees them as well. Only way to do it better is to bring them to her at work. Although, I am working on the assumption that your wife works in an office environment.

I'd arrange for some "surprise" gifts to go her way... flowers at work... dinner arrangements...

let's just hope she doesn't check talkbass...

Dont buy roses on your way home, buy them by internet and ask for delivery, she will get them by noon.

or you can always play the victim and say how frustrated you felt this morning when she didn't even mention the fact that it's your anniversary, and that she obviously had forgotten about it, and it made you feel so bad you almost "cancel the dinner reservation made a month ago"...

Yeah... Well.... It wasn't exactly a funny moment. I wrote the date down, and I was like "Oh ****!" Kinda a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.

I think my damage control measures are successful.

If things escalate to the point of ICBM's I can pull this one out! It's genius! Evil genius, but genius nonetheless.....

+1 . Nothin' beats personal delivery. It creates the impression of having planned ahead.

Congratulations! We have the same wedding anniversary. My wife and I are celebrating our second today.

Happy Anniversary man!

I'm kinda stuck here for the duration today, but I'll pick something up on the way home.

I went to Walgreen's on lunch and got her a card. It was funny as hell! There was another dude shopping for an anniversary card too! (His anniversary was today as well, but he claimed that he'd taken her out last night........ I dunno if I'm buying it.)
