Valentine’s Day Contest from Captain’s Choice!

[pezhore]

It was December, I had been hanging out with this girl I met in college for a few months - getting to know her, etc. I was about to fly home for Christmas and I swung by her house to say goodbye. We had an awkward kind of hug moment, then I left. I had driven to the end of the block when I realized I had made a horrible mistake, so I u-turned, drove back to her house, let myself in, and ran up the stairs to plant a big kiss on her lips. "Wow" was all she said. I left and flew home, my mind on her the entire way back to Missouri.

That was in 2004, and we've been married for over two years.

I was shopping for an item on Travelsmith and when I went to check out there was a womans winter coat also on the list. I guessed she had been looking at it and mistakenly added it to the cart sometime earlier. So I included it on the order. When it came surprised and happy she was. She had been looking at it but decided not to spend the money. But here it was and everyone was glad.


This last holiday season she arranged for a weekend getaway at the hotel she had worked at. Best room in the hotel and a great change of pace from the normal routine.

Great entries guys - I’m just glad it is a random drawing. If I had to pick a winner... I don’t know what I would do.

Tomorrow morning is the drawing at 9:00 a.m. Central time. Come one, come all - last chance!

Somebody is going to have a four ounce bottle of Captain’s Choice bay rum aftershave on the way Monday morning. Who will it BE?

My wife's b'day is the day before Christmas. Back in 2006, I took her to her favorite restaurant, then after dinner, I sang Nat King Cole's "Darling Je Vous aim beau coup" to her in front of everybody. I then surprised her with a wrapped Frommers guide to Paris and then gave her the itinerary to our surprise Paris trip. She loved it!

My wife knows I like the music of Garth Brooks. She surprised me with a Vegas trip to the Wynn for Garth's opening weekend. Garth was excellent!

Told wife I woud take her out for the day and have breakfast, lunch etc and then headed to a little restaurant in the hills that she likes for breakfast, but then turned down dirt road 3 miles short of the restaurant .....she was confused untill 3 miles later she saw a hot air balloon waiting to launch ....she wanted to stop and watch....She got her wish as I had already arranged for us to go for hot air trip ( 2+) hours.

She surprised me by taking me out to breakfast and off-handedly stating "It's been a few years now. Either you ask me to marry you, or I'm gone." I married her. Smart move on my part.

We were going to elope on 3/4/1 and I surprised her on 3/2/1 (blast-off!) by arranging to get the job done early. Now I never forget the anniversary date.

[KiltedShaver]

I have to go with my Wife's surprise on me first: We were lying in bed one morning after waking up and she looks over at me and says "So, how do you feel about being a dad?" Nine months later our first baby boy was born!

My wife does a lot of the family's organizing and planning, so one weekend I planned a stay for our son, booked us a hotel, and all I told her was to not plan anything! I took care of dinner and the whole works. Needless to say, she was surprised indeed!
