Hello all,<p>My wife and I's anniversary is coming, June 17th to be exact. Here is the situation. I want to do something special but we don't have a lot of money to spend. We just bought a house and the legal fees associated with the purchase have literally wiped out our savings.<p>He is what I have planned so far. When I say no money that is a figure of speech. I mean I have some money. She will get a card and we'll by some wine and the makings for a special meal. I just don't have any money for purchases like diamond rings, gold this or that, etc.<p>I have booked off a few days prior and her and I and the two kids are going to the in-laws cabin for five nights. I need to gather some ideas outside of having a special dinner, exchanging cards, and some intimacy. Those are givens. Can you share some of your "no money" anniversaries stories so I can gather some other ideas to show my wife how much I care for her and meet her ENs.

Do you have to take the kids???<p>How about a candle-lit---I mean dozens and dozens of candles--around a big, fluffy bubble bath...romantic music, rose petals on the bed...a nice, slow massage with fragrant oils...her favorite movie in the vcr for after with a box of chocolates?<p>And a nice letter telling what you love about her and your plans for growing old together?
