Planning a wedding can be stressful, it can be the best time of your life and consuming at times! Often times you may even have to remind yourself to take a day off from wedding plans and go on a date with the reason for the occasion, your fiance! One of my best friends gave me a book for my Birthday the other day called 1001 ways to be Romantic by Gregory J.P. Godek. Some people may be romantic naturally, but to be able to write a book of 1001 ways to be romantic? That’s pretty incredible! Here’s a few ways to be romantic from Gregory J.P. Godek’s book:

1. Send five large flower arrangements to her at work, timed to arrive one per hour, beginning at one o’clock. Write a five part love note, with one part accompanying each flower arrangement.

2. [This is so cute] During their first date she picked up a penny for the ground and said, “A penny for your thoughts.” He shared his thoughts and she paid him. [He saved the penny.] As they continued to date they often gave each other pennies as special little love tokens. One day, two years later, he presented her with two ring boxes. As she opened them he said, “A penny for our thoughts…and a diamond for your heart. Will you marry me?” They named their first daughter Penny. On their tenth anniversary he gave her a rare nineteenth- century penny made into a pendant…

3. Prescription for Romance #1: Compliment her. Repeat every four to six hours.

4. From the weird & wacky section: Greet him at the door with confetti, noise-makers and party hats.

5. Another from the weird & wacky section: Practice “Leap Year Romance.” When February 29th rolls around, take the day off work and declare it your own personal “Romance Day.” Give the gift of time- twenty-four hours worth!

What is the most romantic thing someone has done for you?
