well, i'm working on almost 5 months with my girlfriend. *proudly shows off left ring finger* we're getting married...3 years from tomorrow! wow. ^_^
Hmm, I feel bad is 2 months really important, shall I do something? or make him something. Mine is in about 2 weeks time, it's the day after I come back from a week holiday away from him. Oh dear :nonono: what am I gonna do? I was gonna let him come and meet my oldest friend on that day. I guess I could make him something, eeek :blink: or will he think that lame? or too soon? Oh dear, I am in trouble.

they say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, so cake sounds like a really good idea.
Definitely don't stress. A lot of couples don't celebrate "anniversaries" until they get into the upper months, or they wait until it's a true anniversary
If you celebrated every week or month then it could get kinda pricey and would take some of the specialness away from it. It becomes too routine and less of a surprise if you do it every month. I just like the thought of doing something really special every 6 months or year.
My boyfriend and I exchanged sweet cards and little gifts for our 6 months. And then did something bigger for our year (well, he had to anyways because our anniversary is also my birthday ). But once we hit a year it seemed silly to celebrate a year and a half so we're just going to do it every year now. But our 2 year is coming up later this month
But if you do still want to do something, I'd go with something simple and thoughtful. Never underestimate the power of a card. Even if it's store bought just writing something of your own will mean a lot. Or you could make your own. The one I made my boyfriend for our year anniversary was decorated with scrapbooking stuff. I had different stickers on there that represented the weekend we first met...like a monopoly board because we stayed up all night playing monopoly, a videotape because we had a "movie night", and basketball equpiment because we initially met playing basketball. Something like that is really simple, but packs a big punch.
it's the joys of male/female double standards...
given time...all boys can shine...Nate calls me randomly sometimes and apoligizes for being a jerkass (that's our word), when he really didn't do anything wrong. He jokes around and i know that, but i like the fact that he thinks about things and doesn't want to say anything that would upset me.
And with the whole anniversary thing...i don't think buying gifts takes the specialness out of it. It's kind of hard for me to overdue him, since he's bought me a ring, a necklace, and my favorite perfume (that isn't cheap). The closest i got was buying Sox tickets. It's so much easier for a man to shop for a woman.
