Valentine's Day/Romantic Ideas?

[light_sabe_r]

I know I'm inexperienced in the matters of "love" here... But I know what I'm doing this year for Valentines day...

Since it's summer during valentine's here, I'm gonna suprise BF with a formal dinner on our balcony. I got the idea from seeing some latern outdoor string lights covered in hearts at a gift shop on Sunday... as soon as I saw them a plan formulated in my head and I bought them!

He knows that we're having dinner at home that night, but the suprise will be the setting and the food! We'll have his favourite food: freshly cooked prawns! Hopefully I'll get a mango to make mango salad and a rich dairy free chocolate cake with soy icecream for desert! It'll be little effort on the day itself.

I'm stealing his bike this morning and taking it outside with mine and posing them together for a photo. From that I'll make a card. Way more personal than a hallmark... (unless you design cards for hallmark in which case your SO gets one of them right??)

Plus I've put in my request. BF in his high school days was a violinist. He bought me to tears with a serenade a few months ago. I want him to play for me again. That's all I really want for Valentines.

I'd like it if we could ride the river loop in the morning as well. ^_^ Just the two of us!

Anyway It's our second Valentines day together as well as our first anniversary! (which was two days before that)

I agree with CA in NC that resturants are too overcrowded... Plus you can't really celebrate with a bottle of wine cause you have to taxi it home.

Anyway Haudlady, Think back to what you guys did together when you first started going out. Drag out some photos of the two of you doing fun things together sharing the love and make him laugh...

Or if all that is too much effort, Hire an action packed DVD and make some popcorn and some choc top icecreams and plant yourselves in front of the TV for the evening.

Who said Valentines had to be extravagent???
