Teri Gromer of Watertown said her husband, Mark is always doing simple and meaningful gestures that usually include flowers for no reason, but she was really surprised a few years ago on their anniversary when he did something extraordinary. “He made for me a candle-lit bubble bath and when I got out he had laid a dress out on the bed with a note with nothing but a smile on it,� she said. Gromer said when she got ready and dressed, he had every candle in the house lit, the table set with his grandmother’s china and dinner made. “After dinner, he gave me a gift, I started to scold him because we said no gifts, but when I opened it, it was two drawings he had done for me,� she said. “One was purple roses by themselves and the other was a candle-lit picnic setting with a rose on the table and a moon in the background.� Gromer said she had the pictures framed and they now grace the couple’s living room.

Emily Klas Moser of Wauwatosa said she and her husband, Greg, share a love for music so his romantic gestures usually include tickets to a show for her favorite bands or artists. “He surprised me with tickets to see Foo Fighters, all expenses paid, in Nashville, for my 30th birthday,� she said. “He knew I wanted to go to Nashville and he planned all of it without my knowledge. He took care of everything.� Klas Moser said since the couple shares the same interests in bands he’s always doing things like picking up a new album by one of her favorite bands and surprising me with it. “After we were engaged, he presented me with a two-disc mix CD set he compiled - all the songs that meant something in our relationship throughout the years, bands we’ve seen, and songs with a special meanings. He detailed everything in the track listings, dates and all.� So men, the moral of the story is, that if it comes from the heart and is meaningful that is the memory she will cherish, even if it didn’t cost a penny. l
