Kind of a mean prank I pulled on my wife on Valentines Day.. it's a special day for us as I proposed to her on Valentines. I know, super corny.. I really didn't want to do it on Vday and was supposed to wait. We had dinner and wine at Milestones, went home, drank more wine, things got all romantic, I had the ring hidden away and the moment felt right - she loved it which is all that really matters.
Anyway, it's been our thing to go back to the same Milestones on Vday. One year she told me not to get her anything so I agreed we would just do our usual dinner.
That day I came home from work, acted a little stressed out and we went straight to the restaurant. The air was thick on the way there as I normally always give her at least a little something for Vday because it's now special for us and not just a Hallmark Holiday. I asked her what was up, in an almost annoyed way (acting stressed from work) and she got a little teary eyed and said she couldn't believe I didn't get her at least a card on our special day. She didn't want anything but a small gesture and I'm sure it didn't help that I was "in a mood". So I gave her shit, saying I didn't get her anything because she said she didn't want anything. Told her not to play games lol.
As you can imagine, there wasn't an overly positive vibe going on as we entered the restaurant.
We got to our table and there was a large bouquet of flowers in a vase with a card waiting for her. She started crying and said she felt like such a bitch.. did I mention she was 7 months pregnant at the time? Emotions were running a little hot.. hahahaha. The rest of the night went really well!
By the way, the reaction from the girls working there when I dropped everything off and asked them to have everything ready for our arrival was pretty good too. I haven't heard so many "awwwws" since.
Guess it's time to do something a little sneaky/romantic again.
