9TH Wedding Anniversary. email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. hdjohnson (1173)   ranked 20 out of 19,534 in questions & answers1 year ago

On Jan. 29th, my wife and I will be celebrating 9 years of marriage together. Okay, this discussion is primarily for those who are married for this number or more years. Any special ideas I should do for her this 9th year?

I already have an idea of what she would like to have from me as a gift. Should arrange a baby sitter for the kids and just surprise her, or what do you think. I already took the day off of work, which she doesn't know yet.

I am not a forgetful person, so I haven't missed any of these dates before. Although I came close to missing her birthday once, but I have all of these things on a computer somewhere and the program sends me reminders of all the "special occasions" in my life.

Okay, mylot community, give it to me. For those who don't know, we are fasting from meats and sugars, so I can't simply take her to the "cheesecake factory" like she originally wanted.

I love to surprise her, so, well thought out responses are most appreciated. Something that will simply remind her of how much she means to me.

Let's have it please and thanks in advance!

Congratulation on your 9th year anniversary!, we just celebrate our 3rd year wedding anniversary last January 14, and we just stay at home together with our two kids which is 2 year and six months old, and my 4 months old baby. We just cooked our favorite soup. Actually we dont have much money to buy something the most important for us is to be with each other on this special day together with the fruits of our love.

Wow, that's is great. My 3 yr old's birthday is Jan. 14th. So we just finished celebrating that with her. I've been saving the monies for a while that I've been earning from my online ventures. That is where I'm getting the monies from. So that it won't have to come out of our spending budget at home. It sounds like you and your husband are very blessed to have each other and your two children are just as blessed by the example of loving expression that you both will provide for them.

..wow.. congratulations.. yeah.. surprising her will be the best in my opinion.. we ladies love to be surprised by our husband.. then take her to the places where you use to go when you were still lovers and not married.. maybe, if you can take your children to your friends home, it would be nice.. let your wife go out for a while then fix your home with flowers, then a romantic candle light dinner for you with mellow music.. I can't imagine how your wife would react.. I know she will really feel important.. enjoy.. God bless your family.. may you be together for all eternity..


myLot reputation of 98/100. hdjohnson (1173)   ranked 20 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  1 year ago

Eternity That's what we are working toward. Those are some wonderful ideas. I didn't actually consider having the kids go to another person's home for the day. They are all large enough to look after one another. I could send my wife off to a "spa" day where she can get her nails, feet done.

Thanks for your response and thoughtful input!

As you can see from the posts so far, the ladies here have a variety of responses on what they like. Some want to enjoy the anniversary with the entire family. Others would prefer a quiet evening alone together at home. I have been married for for..(and then I stutter) something years (smile) I don't want to admit my age just yet. I think there are times to be with the kids and there are times to be together. For me, anniversaries are times for each other. If you have the whole day off, be daring. Get a sitter and start out the night before. Pack up your wife and take an extended day trip somewhere. Get away for the day - just the two of you. It doesn't have to be far. It can be into the next major city. Sometimes you can hide in your own town if it is a large city like Los Angeles. Pack a picnic lunch so you have only the things you want to eat. Go see some beautiful countryside or visit a nearby town you haven't been to before. You don't mention seafood. Maybe you can have a seafood dinner. Take in a movie. Stop at a park and just talk. Get a loaf of bread and feed the pigeons. Just spend time together talking and listening to each other. That is the most important thing you can do. Now that I think about it, have the birds gone south for the winter? (LOL)


myLot reputation of 98/100. hdjohnson (1173)   ranked 20 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  1 year ago

Very wise, you are.

I agree with you, the wedding anniversary is supposed to be spent together alone, talking, dreaming together, like we used to do before we got married. I know of certain that she wants a day away from the kids. I guess I should have put that in the original post. It is truly a wonderful thing.

Happy anniversary to you and your wife, HD!

The 9th anniversary can be a bit tricky--not only is it not a milestone, but you have a major milestone coming up next year. You want to do something nice but not so much that you can't top it on the 10th anniversary.

FYI..the gifts associated with the 9th anniversary are pottery and willow (traditional) or leather (modern). You might be able to find some interesting ways to incorporate these into your gift ideas. Maybe a dozen roses in a pottery vase, a leather-bound photo album or planting a willow tree in her honour.

Since you have the day off work, your schedule is pretty much wide open, so the celebration doesn't necessarily have to be dinner. Take her to the park or the beach for a picnic...I'm sure there are many good delis that can pack a gourmet vegetarian lunch. Don't forget to include a bottle of champagne or wine--vintage 2000, of course. "A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou..."

Some of the finer hotels in your area may be serving brunch or afternoon tea that day. If you've never been, this could be a fun and interesting experience! Or, depending on your cooking skills, you can make her a special brunch at home. Even without the meats (does this rule out eggs too?) you can still make pancakes or waffles with an assortment of fresh fruits.

To make things interesting, hide your wife's gift and then plan a "treasure hunt" by giving her a series of clues leading to its location. This way, the thrill of the journey becomes part of the gift.

With some creative planning, you can do any number of activities together. The important thing is that you are spending time together and celebrating 9 years of happiness. That is a gift in itself!


myLot reputation of 98/100. hdjohnson (1173)   ranked 20 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  1 year ago

Wow, thanks for the great suggestions. Those indeed are SUPERB. I love treasure hunts, and I could actually get the kids in on it, but having each of them drop specific hints to her at different intervals of the day. It's too cold to go the beach, though. We don't drink, so the vintage wine is out, nothing wrong with some apple cider though! I've enjoyed reading this response. Thanks so much for the ideas. I usually try to top my previous year, so I know what you mean about the 10th one coming up next year. We already talked about it and we want to get a log cabin in the mountains again. We went there when we first got married on our honey moon. We both enjoyed it!

Thanks for such a well thought out response. welcome to mylot as well!

Wake up early, let her lie down late, make breakfast, do the chores for the day, and in the evening take her for a movie and some dinner. Let her feel like a queen on that day. Look after the childrens needs. You can also send the children off to someones house and be cozy till evening, and then go out and blow a hole in your pocket. A bunch of flowers in the morning and a gift to go with it would be wow.Congratulations and many many more to come.

Congratulations on 9 years of marriage. Why not give her something that she might not ordinarily get. Why not give her a day at the spa or something. How about doing the chores in the house and let her have a day to herself just do do what she wants to do. Maybe you both go do something rather than eating something. If I had to fast on something that I really liked I would hate having to miss that, so I would rather just do something that we liked doing.


myLot reputation of 98/100. hdjohnson (1173)   ranked 20 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  1 year ago

That is probably what I'm going to do in the end. Thanks for your input and response. I appreciate it.

congratulations! in october, we celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary.
i think if you do something like write a poem or something just to tell her how special she is. or you could buy her a book of poetry?
