Re: special/sentimental moments
Since his two birthdays I have been decorating our room with balloons, flowers, candles, cake and the slow romantic songs.. this year, on his birthday, he wasnāt with me.. I was really missing to be with him.. I wanted to make him happy! so thought of doing somthing that could turn him real happy. Once he told me.. when he was living in Australia, he bought himself a real huge Metal Bull.. (he likes metal decoration items), when he was coming back to pakistan winding up his business from there, he had a load of luggage along that he couldnt bring that with him.. according to him, it was sooooo beautiful.. but I just couldnāt manage to bring it along.. so I thought to gift him that! bought it from here and delivered him to UK..
number two!, when every year..why not this year.. yeah I decorated our room the same way.. this time framed the wall.. with almost 25 big balloons and in center.. āHAPPY BIRTHDAY DEARā with colored crape papers and pasted flowers.. he didnt have any single idea for that.. he knew.. I will be on skype to wish him his bday at his 12 midnight.. (mine 4 midnight).. he came online.. I focused the wall with my webcam.. hiding myself.. i just wanted him to see just the framed and focused decoration when he ons his cam..and thats what exactly happened.. I turned my cam on.. saw his plain face and when āHEā saw the wallā¦ I canāt express his feelingsā¦ he was like SURPRISED!! like he could have never thought of itā¦ and I sang him the b-day songā¦ he was soooooooo happyā¦ that was really surprising and romantic:)
Those are cool stories queen! I love surprises myself.

For my fianceās bday, I found it very difficult to pin point anything he would go crazy overā¦all he ever says is āpeople around me being happy makes me happyāā¦I was thinking āduh! But what can I do for you thatās extra special?āā¦he replied ājust be happy and Iām happyā.
So with no clues or ideas I put my brain into overdrive, I searched through chat logs, probed through indirect questions and finally after days mulling over it, it hit me -I remembered he loved animals! But wait, he lives in a one bed flatā¦I canāt get him a dog or cat, he can barely take care of himself!!
Not an extra ordinary story but it was one of the most precious to me simply because of the reaction I saw on his face. 3 weeks now till the wedding, I hope I can always make him smile the way he did that day!!
That is a really awesome gift if heās in to animals! 3 weeks till the wedding? Gluck with all the preps and wish you 2 the best!

Re: special/sentimental moments
I met my fiance in college and was a little nervous about telling my Mom about the way I felt. My Mom had already met her twice before at other parties, but didnāt know she was the āoneā. When I told my Mom about the way I felt my Mom surprisingly said āI couldnāt have found you a better girl myself, I love (her name)ā(she said all that in Urdu) and I was ECSTATIC. It was a really special moment for me. My fiance was thrilled tooā¦her future mother-in-law gave the green light at the very first step! And ever since then, my Mom has treated my fiance like her own daughter. Alhamdullilah.
My fiance and I have so many special moments that itās hard to list MashAllahā¦but our favorite ones are of the initial stages when we first met. Everything was so exciting and thrilling back then b/c you didnāt know what the other person was thinking and were just getting to know each other. Whether it was our first email to each other or our first dinner together with one of my friends and one of her friends..it was super special.
I remember Iād read over and edited my messages a million times before I sent them to her just to make sure I sounded suave and smooth, haha. And the first time we were going to have dinner with our mutual friends I thought about what I was going to wear a week in advance b/c she was going to be there. Iāve never done that for anyone in my life! haha. I picked out this light green button down Express shirt and she happened to ironically wear green to that dinner too - and it wasnāt even planned but we ended up matching.
Also, I remember when I burnt her the first CD I gave her I specifically downloaded every song that was really romantic to me or one of my favorites from the past. The funny thing was her friend took the CD from her right away after we left and she put it in to her laptopā¦her friend then started going through each song to analyze my feelings for my fiance and my fiance just sat there and listened to her friendās analysis. Bichari couldnāt even enjoy the cd. haha. I had no idea all of this was going on and found out months later, lol. My fiance and I still laugh about memories like those; when we were much younger too.
If I told you guys the special things my fiance has done or special moments sheās created for me you guys would be amazedā¦sheās pretty awesome. Iāll just give one example: for my birthday she knew I love chocolate so she got me 100 hershey kisses. You know the little white thin piece of paper that comes out of each hershey kiss? Well she unwrapped all 100 hershey kisses and took the white piece of paper out. She then then typed out ā100 things that she likes about meā in one line statements and printed them out. She then cut each one line statement of things she likes about me in to 100 different tiny thin pieces of paper, placed each one in to a different hershey kiss, and wrapped them all back up so the piece of paper stuck out a little and I could pull it out just like the original hershey kisses. To top it off, she put special heart shaped stickers on the bottom of each one of the 100 hershey kisses. Then she put all of those in a really nice cylinder decorative box. It must have taken her days and hours to do that!
Thanks everyone
I have tons of more stories, but what about you all? Share some stories too, we can swap!
For our first valentineās day I was in a different state so we knew we wouldnāt be seeing each other. I wanted to make it very special for her b/c I knew how big of a romantic she is and that I would be the first guy to give her anything for Vday. So I thought about overwhelming her with a bunch of gifts, but they had to be within my student budget and have a meaning or thought behind it. I came up with four. Everything was delivered to her dorm room before midnight on Vday with a help of a friend who went to the same university.
Iām in medical school and she thinks of me as her āteddy bearā and sometimes would call me her ābig bearā as a nickname, lol. So I ordered a little teddy bear from online that was in a doctorās outfit - blue scrubs, surgeon mask, holding an x-ray and I had āDr. Big Bearā written on the front of itās surgical scrub shirt. I then recorded a voice message through the online system and they inserted it in to the bear so every time she pressed the teddy bearās little hand she could hear my message. It was really cool - she still has it. Every time her friends came over to her place they would press the teddy bearās hand to hear my message b/c they thought the concept was hilarious. She hugged that bear to sleep every night for almost two years.
Sheās a big fan of fresh flowers. It was funny bc she had mentioned flowers several times but I couldnāt remember what her favorite ones were. So, I remembered a conversation we had once online where she mentioned her favorite flower. So I went online and spent over an hour going through all my old messages to find where she talked about her favorite flower. I finally found it and they turned out to be Tulips. So I ordered her an assortment of Tulips to be delivered to her dorm in her university housing. She was SO surprised b/c she had only mentioned to me that she liked Tulips ONCE and she had no idea I would have remembered over a year later
Sheās unfortunately not a fan of chocolates and sweets like I am and I always tease her about how āboringā her sweet tooth is. She prefers more fruity and nutty desserts. I told her I would never pay for dessert thatās not chocolate aka āreal dessertā and we would always tease each other about this. In fact, a few times she tried convincing me to get dessert that she liked, the āboring kindā, and I refused every time and I think once she even got a little upset cause I was being stubborn. So to surprise her and make up for that I ordered myself and her a tower of treats filled with all sorts of edible sweet fruits, dried yogurt covered pretzels, dried nuts, etc. There was everything in it without all the chocolatey goods that I like so she was REALLY surprised I finally gave in, spent money on, and bought myself and her ānot real dessertā, haha. We both finished everything in a couple of days and there was a lot of stuff in itā¦so it was good! I admitted to her that her taste in dessert was in fact GOOD and I was wrong
The last present was the best in my opinion and didnāt cost me a penny. Sheās a huge artist and draws really well. She does bridal henna too. Iāve never been an artist and canāt draw AT ALL so I decided to draw something for her myself! I wanted to show her my appreciation for her skills and make something that required time and effort on my part. SO, I found my favorite picture of her that I had saved on my computer. I printed it out and I tried copying it and drawing it by hand myself on a white sheet of drawing paper. I sketched it on pencil a million times first and kept erasing and redrawing it. Then when I finally had it down I outlined it with a pen. I would work on it constantly instead of doing my homework because I was so excited to finish it that week, lol. I think the end result was a lot better than I expected. A couple of my friends saw it and they thought it was pretty good. When she saw it her reaction was
Oh, and I asked her to open all the gifts on webcam so I could see her reactions. She did it at midnight of Valentineās Day. It was such an awesome moment. And guess what? She had sent me stuff too. It came in the day before so I had to impatiently wait to open my gifts with her. Her stuff was amazing again. We opened our gifts together on webcam and that was honestly one of the most exciting experiences we had that year. Even though we were separated by miles, we still found a way to celebrate the day of romance together and make each other smile.
Re: special/sentimental moments
some guppies are familiar with my battles with infertitlity from other threads, so youāll appreciate this truly āromanticā gesture from my hubbyā¦
my mother (who is no longer with us :(), was an exceptional seamstress, very creative. when she was pregnant with me, she made a patchwork quilt, made up of 9 squares, with something embroidered in each square (a puppy on a unicycle, a circus seal balancing a ball on his nose..etc)..that quilt went on to become my āsecurity blanketā, we were inseperable, and the blanket became like a family memberā¦lol! as i grew up, it hung around my bed, sometime under it (!), and when my sister came back to the US to have her baby, my neice was wrapped in it on the plane ride back to KHIā¦as adulthood settled in, my blanket was moved to the linen closet in Ammiās house, and packed into my suitcase when I got married and finally moved outā¦I must admit I kind of forgot about it for a while, but my husband remembered it, and while we struggled with our battle to concieve, and endured countless surgeries, procedures, shots and whatnot, he managed to fish it out from a forgotten box without my knowledge, and asked my mom to āfreshen it upā and make it new again for our babyā¦my mom worked on it without telling me, giving a new border, ripping up the tattered embroidery and making new elements (including adding the name we picked out for our son!)ā¦when at last our miracle baby entered this world, my husband presented me with my newly made over baby blanket for our new babyā¦that has to be the most romantic thing he has ever done!
my boys love that blanket, and every friday night when we have āmovie nightā on the living room floor, they fight over who gets it and WHO that blanket actually belongs too (they all 3 claim ownership)ā¦it is a constant reminder to me of my momās labor of love and my husbandās devotion to me and our kidsā¦ok, i need some kleenex now
