Okay, while I'm not a girl, I'll give you my thoughts. I think most people like to be romanced. Do the monthly thing up until 6 months, then just go by years. Keep in mind that you don't necessarily have to go out and get her some elaborate, expensive, gift. Tell her to get all dressed up (everything's more fun when you're dressed up :)) and take her out to dinner somewhere nice and make sure you both save room for dessert, then have her pick her favorite dessert and share it (or get two if you want, but it's always fun to share http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/love.gif ). I've found that the best gifts are ones that you can't just go buy at some store, but have meaning (example: on our 2 year "dating anniversary" I gave my ex-gf my ticket stub from the first movie we ever went out to together [which was even before we started dating]). Hope that helps.

i, for one, feel the event should be commemorated monthly for one year and then, after that, yearly; and like nootch said, it doesn't have to be expensive - even just a single rose, a "love" letter, or a poem. my hubby always did this for me and i loved it. women dig this kind of crap boys, i'm telling ya.

I used that line on a girl once. "Aww, that was so sweet, you didn't have to do that!" "Not to worry, hon...I knew you dig that kind of crap." I remember a sharp pain on the bridge of my nose, dizzyness, and unconsciousness... ;)

Hrm..I wouldn't mind the 6 months then a year gift giving. For our 6 month, djcrom got me a spinny butterfly lamp thingie..I loved it. OH! Idea. Go to cdnow.com and do the custom love song cd. He did that for me, and I almost cry every time I hear "I Was Born to Love You." Of coure, single roses, dinner, etc. are all great, too. As are special momentos and stuff. Oh, and most girls like sappy stuff every once in a while, not matter what she may say.

Exactly...the fact that you've remembered is a big thing for us. That's why some days it was like any other day but the fact that there was that kiss and hug when we came in the door and my favorite meal waiting and a good movie to curl up with together.

Hey thanks a lot. So far we have always mentioined it and kinda talked about it monthly(yes I remember the date) and I kinda have plans for 6 months. I was actually already thinking of the coustom love song cd. only i dont really have any plans to pay for it http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/lol.gif. Anyway thanks for all the advice I knew I could count on you.

We did the monthly thing for the first year and some even after that and now we just do the yearly thing...
It wasn't even a thing where we got each other something each month, it was a thing where that was a special day where we did something each month...it was just our special day...

Personally, I would be flattered just that you remembered. Some boys (and girls) just can't get that date to stick in their head. I reminded my boy about the 6 month, and we've both slacked a lot since then. I saw his calendar at work the other day and put our 9 month anniversary on it - of course, it had already passed.

Like I said before, "I Was Born to Love You" makes me wanna cry each time I hear it. He made it even better by telling me that he didn't just pick out random mushy songs - he actually thought about the ones he picked.

Hmm: well I like the gift giving for a year per month then I do every six months. But on the 1/2 year anniversaries make it small and a little romantic. Nothing expensive or nothing at all but a nice gesture (i.e. make it her day/week). Then on the yearly anniversaries get the gifts out and the romance :)
As far as songs go? Hmm pick two; one sweet dance one and one slow one to dance to that have to do with your feelings and hers combined if possible, or they could be from a moment you two shared. In order to make a song mean something they should come from a meaningful place. (first dance, romantic evening, your heart, etc...)
Well I hope it helps....I don't have any ideas about a specific song but that really should be up to the both of you or your feelings and thoughts
