On Saturday morning my husband gave me movie tickets for myself and my best friend, Marsha. We were going to a 4:50 showing and then being taken out for a surprise dinner, etc.
When the movie was over we drove back to the house to meet up with our husbands...but we were not going OUT to dinner at all...instead they greeted us with long stemmed red roses and proceeded to escort us to our "table" for dinner. They had prepared a special Valentine's Day Dinner...complete with chocolates, candles, wine, music and all the trimmings. They even had a printed menu at our place settings.
It was beautiful!
It was beautiful!
The menu consisted of :
Appetizer : Petit Quiches
Salad : Mandarin Orange & Almond
Entree : Tender Filet Mignon
Succulent Crab Legs
Asparagus Risotto
Dessert: Red Velvet Cupcake w/ French Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
We each received a Filigree Chocolate Heart from "Moonstruck Chocolates"...look inside...
Chocolate "Love Bugs"
Thank you...Honey...
Our friends Marsha & Kirk!
...more tomorrow!
And who said "chivalry is dead."
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice day for the four of you!
Wow! My husband needs to read this... maybe he would get a few ideas. (o: (o:
ReplyDeleteHow CREATIVE on their part! And sweet, thoughtful ...wonderful! MUCH more meaningful to me than dinner 'out'. Love the luv bugs too!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet, in more ways than one!
ReplyDeleteHow thoughtful and sweet was that...OMG! Two lucky ladies, you are. And two lovely couples as well.
ReplyDeleteOh Carrie what lucky girls you both are. How very sweet of your husbands to plan such a wonderful evening with dinner, roses and chocolates!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd the candies are just too cute.
Thought out, time consuming gifts from the heart are so very special. These two men outdid themselves for the two of you. In today's world, stories like this are rare. I love the two pictures of the four of you. Truly what Valentine's Day is all about. Thank you for sharing. The menu sounds like a fine dining establishment's menu.
ReplyDeleteWow--two very creative AND sneaky husbands. What a sweet thing for them to do. The menu sounds delightful and even printed menus!
ReplyDeleteThe love bugs are so cute!
Looking forward to seeing what's next.

ReplyDeleteWhat spectacular husbands!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!! How sweet! I love those chocolates! I've never seen those before! What movie?
ReplyDeleteYou are truly blessed. Also, this picture of you looks very much like one of my dear friends. She is a wonderful kitty cat rescuer. She was a lawyer, her husband still is and she now devotes what seems like 24 hours a day helping kitties get forever homes.
ReplyDeleteYou are both very handsome couples!
