My husband had to have his wedding band cut off his finger last summer and it was destroyed so we couldn't get it fixed. It has taken me several months to try to find a very similar band that won't break the bank, and I finally did it. Our 15th wedding anniversary is in June and I want to give it to him for our anniversary, but I want it to be special not just here you go.
I thought of doing a small vow renewal during church, but when talking in generalities to my husband about this, he does not want that. He is very private and does not want to do something like that. I am at a total loss of how to make this special. Any suggestions?
Alexis- That is great and I may use it, my only thought is he would not know to look in the dirt. He has that kind of sense of humor, but I don't, so he wouldn't expect it from me.
If I were you I would think of the most romantic way possible to 'propose' and do something similar to that but obviously instead of asking him to marry you share your feelings and vws or whatever it is you would say if he was actually for a marriage renewal
Sounds like a fun night to be had
Good Luck and Congrats
Admittedly not an approach for everyone but my brother went the route of humor with his wife. He put dirt in a mason jar with the ring buried in the middle. With a serious face he handed her the jar and told her now she could always worship the ground he walked on. After a beat or so she tore into the jar knowing she'd find something. Lo and behold she found her replacement wedding ring. Obviously they know and share a similar sense of humor but I can also say she adores the offbeat way he gave her the ring. Sometimes less is more and speaks very deeply to the recipient. Good luck and best wishes.
I took my husband out for a quiet, romantic dinner and gave it to him over our predinner Dirty Martini. I made a toast and handed him the box. The rest of the night was spent cooing like turtle doves!
Yeah you just threw out two extremes to the same question. Just tossing it to him is one extreme but renewing vows just because you replaced the ring, that is def the other extreme.
Why don't you just wrap the box and give it to him? Thing I find with guys is when you go too over the top it becomes annoying for them. Like yeah, guys, I have to do this to make the wife happy. That shouldn't be the feeling, ya know?
I guess to me there is nothing unspecial with just a gift.
I ditto Jo, again.
If you want the 'fun' route - put it around the neck of a wire clothes hanger, drape in plastic "dry cleaning" bag. Hang on doorknob.
When getting ready for "date night", hand him seemingly empty drycleaning hanger and tell him you just got this back from the cleaners so be careful, but make sure and wear this too. :)
How about going to a nice dinner and proposing to him?
