What is THE most Romantic thing you have experienced??

Hmm romantic? I don't do much of that as it tends to turn my stomach...but I guess...

Touring and exploring Germany on the back of Vespa Scooter behind a man I was very much in love with...my first love actually. We rode along the Rhine, looked at the castles, ate a nice lunch together with some great beer. Good times!

ETA: As a mod, of course every knows to stay within the bounds of the forum rules on this thread yes?

Hmmm...I'll have to think about this one some more.  But the first thing that comes to mind is for every year we are married, my DH sent me a rose for every year.  First year 1 rose; 5th year 5 roses and so on.  When we reached 25 years, I had to ask him to stop because it became to hard for me to carry the roses home from work.  LOL

Horsing around in the waves on a secluded beach in Hawaii, in the dark.  It was probably dangerous but we laughed so hard that our stomachs hurt.

It was silly and fun and I did it with my best friend.

At 54, working full time in a stressful job, living with my 91 year old father who just got a knee replacement...... weekly house cleaning.  That means we have TIME for romance on weekends.

It's not your classic romantic notion but it was for me and still is a fond and funny memory.  On our first date, DH asked me where I wanted to eat, cost is no object he said, over and over, anywhere you want.  OK, I picked my favorite steak house which is pricey.  He never blinked an eye but said he needed to stop by his apartment for a minute.  No problem, says I.  We stop by, he runs up and comes back and we go and have a lovely, romantic dinner that lasted till they kicked us out.  Found out much later that the stop off beforehand was to beg his equally broke roomate for money to pay for dinner.  He said he was so grateful that his roomie had some cash to loan and that I didn't order the steak and lobster dinner.  LOL 

THis may sound crazy, but to me, it was the late night feedings with my hubby helping when my twins were a few weeks old.

It would be pitch black and totally silent outside except for a car every few minutes or maybe rain. It took him awhile, but hubby would et up when I poked him that one baby was stirring. We would each take a baby and a bottle, and sit side by side or across from each other, holding a baby in the crook of our arm and soaking in the adoring look in their eyes, their beautiful features, and how much love they exuded. They would fall asleep, so trustful and so peaceful. And David and I would go back to bed (ideally for 2-3 hours til the next feeding) knowing we had made a difference.

Hubby and I have had some rough times, but that memory is the one that makes me realize that we are a family, that we all love each other, and it is all worth it. I do have a memory of my wedding night, but, well, . . .

Where do I start? 

David and I 'met' online -- we progressed pretty quickly once we got to "date" mode to "like" .. but the night we discussed the "L Word" he CALLED me from the UK. 

That was mid-January.  By Feb 14 he had flowers delivered to where I worked -- flowers he "ordered" from the UK which didn't work as well 13 years ago as it does now.  And he made sure they included a stuffed bear in it (mind you -- I was 41 at the time).  And he sent me a "blank" card with a red aluminum heart on it IN WHICH HE WROTE his feelings.

 Ok ... shall we go to "wedding"??  He READ me Burns' "My Luve's Like a Red Red Rose" as part of our wedding ceremony. (I played & sang "Love me Tender" on my autoharp).  He wore the kilt, but he INSISTED I get a 'real wedding dress' because I didn't have one when I married my first husband.

I'll have to continue this later.  Fairy tales DO come true!

Happened to me?  LOL we are SO not romantic!  I guess when DH and I were dating, he started having grand mal seizures and lost his driving privilege.  So, I got to use his car and drive him around.  One weekend his parents wanted to come see him.  Then someone e-mailed me saying she could get me a GA ticket to a U2 show in Pittsburgh and I could ride east with her if I could get to her house (near Detroit), so instead of hanging out with future in-laws, then-BF let me take his car to go to a U2 show by myself with people he'd never met.  He was only mildly annoyed.  I guess that's romantic...

I think that's extremely romantic and a beautiful sentiment.

It doesn't take much to make me feel warm and fuzzy, but one thing stands out. DH had given me a simple gold bracelet when we were dating. I lost it on the very day we found out our lab had nasal cancer. I was a mess when I got the news and didn't realize it was gone until late that night. I looked everywhere and never did find it. On the day we got married in Maui, just before we headed down to the beach, DH gave me a box and inside was the very same bracelet. It meant the world to me that he'd realized how much I'd loved it.

DH is not overly romantic, but the last two years he has put the sweetest sentiments in several cards he has given me.

Two years ago it was “you are my love, my life and the best part of me…” in a Valentine’s Day card waiting for me in the kitchen.

My birthday last May was just 3 weeks before our wedding. He gave me a simple card for my birthday that told me how excited he was to marry me and become my husband and he bought me flowers. They were in this vase that he knew I fell in love with at the grocery store and in the vase were a dozen of one type of our wedding flowers. They were yellow roses that symbolized a remembrance of my maternal grandmother. I actually used the vase on the sweethearts table at our wedding and when we sat down for dinner he was surprised to see it, but so happy that I had asked my aunt to use it on our wedding day.

Probably the most romantic experience I have had is a little too “R” rated to share so I will pass, but I do have a romantic idea to share for all of you that I helped my friend plan a few years ago. SO even tho it wasn't "mine" I had a big part in it. She made 100 small hearts that she cut out individually and on each one she wrote something she loved about her husband. Believe it or not she DID come up with 100 even though it was getting down to slim pickins at the end. She found a heart shaped red box and placed them all in the box and left it for him on the bed with a card attached. He could simply not believe that she had found 100 things to love about him and he was so very touched by her efforts. At my bridal shower she gave me a gift she picked up many months before during Valentines Day from Bath and Body Works. The gift was “The sensual scent bath and body kit” and it had jasmine vanilla massage oil, lotion, bath gel and a hand massager thingy all wrapped up in a big red heart box. She told me in the bridal shower card that she got it for me especially for the “box” since I helped her plan that special V-day for her husband a few years prior. She was hoping I would hold on to the box and some day do the same for my husband and I absolutely do plan to. Maybe for a special first year anniversary gift.

My partner telling me that he was sorry I had to give up my dreams for him and that being with him didn't mean I could never explore the world. He said he hoped we could explore it together. We are doing it systematically, starting with Australia.

The part I didn't get to type above was during our reception, David looked over at me and said "hey -- this was quite nice!" (British understatement)  Then he said "Why don't we do this again some time??"

he meant it -- he meant it **seriously** at the time.  We began, at the reception, to plan to renew our vows at our 5th anniversary.  And we did -- went back to Bok Tower, had the same pastor "re-marry" us, and then stayed again at Chalet Suzanne that night.

At 10 years we did it again except he took me to New York City to see a Broadway play too.  But he's adamant that we do it at least every 5 years just because it keeps getting better the longer we're together.  It's nothing I tease him into ... he's simply that serious that we never take it for granted.  To me that's the ultimate in romantic, I guess.

Jeremy and I aren't a romantic couple at all.

I guess one of the most romantic things he did was when I was looking into getting Apollo. I found transport but the guy needed to be paid right then because he was leaving in the early morning to get Apollo- if I paid. My check hadn't cleared in my bank account yet so I was pretty broke. Jeremy slapped down his debit card and said "don't go overboard" with grin because he knew I would. I had the biggest smile...he then said, "well, I guess this dog is going to need shots or something. call a vet and see when they can get him in and put it on my card". I paid for Apollo's transport, physical, vaccines, and neuter....plus, food, toys, bed, bowls, leash and collar...all on his debit. He never said anything about how much I spent- ever, even though I did got a "tad' overboard. He was just happy I was happy.
