Easy, its your silver wedding anniversary, get her something silver with Diamonds in it, and then cook a nice meal, with Champagne, and home bake a cake (we have an OF baking thread for inspiration) with candles. What's not for her to like, Silver, Diamonds, Champagne, and hubby sweating over a home baked cake with candles. (P.S Cake is more likely to get you laid than the other 3....), at least in my experience

Oh yeah, a gift card, gotta have a gift card

And I'm 27 years in this year so I must be doing something right😎

Made a big inroad on the 25th wedding anniversary celebration today...

basically begged my way into having the bakery that baked our wedding cake 25 years ago in Michigan not only recreate it but (very begrudgingly) agree to break their no shipping policy and ship it to New Mexico overnight for the big day.
And after a shit ton of thinking, cancelled my DJ36 order and redirected those funds + additional for a 25th wedding anniversary diamond ring on a platinum setting... went big on this figuring "even though she mostly drives me insane with frustration, and I'm sure me her, I am only getting one 25th as is she -- and I still like her (most days)."
That one hurt and was sobering as fυck -- 15 Sericas or 2.53 Sapphire Sandies or 2 DJ36's or 1.25 IWC Igniters or .73 VC Overseas.
Now I just need to figure out a way to get one of her current rings off her finger and to the jeweler so we can get a sizing without her knowing.

Betting she gets me a card.

I dunno, 15 Sericas would have been pretty sweet. Maybe 1-2 of them wouldn't have any quality control issues at all. 😁

I think cancelling the DJ and treating her was 100% the right move. You only get one 25th, and you only get one baby momma.

...as far as she knows.

Yeah, hopefully she gets me a really nice card.

Bravo, that's elevating my suggestion to a whole new level.
I'd never be able to recreate it, I have absolutely no clue who baked our wedding cake (and I still live in the same town...). Ouch, 2DJ36's Your good Lady is obviously worth it, congratulations 😉.
I'd be willing to bet you'll get more than just a card...

This morning, while I was busy looking at the new Marathon Navigator in steel, and trying to come up with reasons why I need it, my wife came over and said something about her gym shoes at work being worn out, that she couldn’t bring the ones at home back and forth and hence she needed to go shopping for a new pair. I only paid half attention; I was too busy picturing the Navigator on my wrist.

A couple of hours later she got home with a pair of new shoes. I admonished her and told her she had too many shoes.

Back looking at the Marathon… 🙄

I discovered that I am probably not that different from her

Pretty damn cool watch

25 years ago this very day that female belted me in the arm, a serious punch at that - left a sizeable hematoma, and told me to "knock it the fυck off" because I was bitching & moaning about the mayor of Ann Arbor Michigan being late to our pending nuptials.
25 years later she can still kick both my ass and my heart.
Her actual gifts are still inbound from NYC but in their place for today I surprised her at work with three dozen red roses, a couple of helium balloons and a chocolate cake for her & coworkers.
She looks happy - therefore I am happy.
Love that female human person with the entirety of my being.

Congrats on 25 years! Does she know what her real present is yet?

And, what hurts worse: her punches or knowing how many rolexes you had to turn down this year to make such a grand gesture of your love?

The memory of that 25 year old punch is still pretty damn real - wasn't expecting it and BAM it was delivered, and as such was not ready so I tripped and fell over. She didn't even feel bad about that as a byproduct of her right hook -- and worse: my best man and her maid of honor began laughing at my expense (fuckheads).
But to answer your question, no she doesn't know about the grand gift - supposed to arrive this Friday - and yes, the ring hurts much deeper than any watch purchase probably because it's worth so many watch purchases.

Congrats on winning the affection of such a boss ass tough lady. I hope the ring knocks her off her feet as sweet payback for the way she bowled you over 25 years ago.

Up at 0400 for client calls starting at 0500. Now getting a coffee and holding in a poo until I get back to my house. Conference later today - have decided to wear some form of Speedmaster.
