It is my husband and my first married Valentines day, I am not exactly sure what to do to make it extra special. I was thinking on making dinner at home, but the thought of getting dressed up and going out is very appealing. We will have to see what our budget allows.
Here are the things we have done in the past:
For our first Valentines day, we had only been dating a few months. He planned this scavenger hunt all through our college. What he didn't expect was the blizzard that came and shut the school down, before I could do the hunt. He had to give me my prize on valentines day and then find something else for the scavenger hunt when things were finally opened up about 3 days later. It was great! I really enjoyed the fun nature of it and we played in the snow for hours!
The next year, he planned a dinner in. He got a key to my house from my mom and decorated the dining room in candles, a nice dinner, he had music playing, it was so lovely! We spent the rest of the night dancing!
Last year, we went to a murder mystery dinner on valentines day. It was really fun. My husband and I had just found our home, and he was moving in at the time with me to follow after the wedding.
I'm not sure if it was that weekend or the one after, but we didn't have a kitchen table, and I made dinner and we ate it on our "table" made of empty boxes. I dressed them up with a bed sheet and placed some candles and flowers on the "table" a bottle of wine near by (it was too heavy to support!). I don't remember what I made, but I was so happy to be getting married in a few months and sharing this special meal with the man I loved, even if we were sitting on the floor with a cardboard box table.
It's funny when you are just married and you still have no furnioture at home! I remeber that I had for several months the tv box next to the bed instead of furniture, eheh!
