Love: The Grand Gesture
Our first year anniversary is due in 2 weeks. She has been such a great companion who keeps on surprising me every day. I do wonder what possible thing that I could do that would surpass what she does to me. Am I an egoist? Maybe or maybe not. Actually, It’s quite healthy for a relationship to be a bit egoist on who showers more love on their partner. Speaking of showering, I wonder if a grand gesture like showering her path to our candle night dinner with rose would suffice or a surprise helicopter trip across the city will do. Again, milady is totally different from a typical girlfriend, maybe that’s what made me fall in love with her. She’s not the one for roses or any other cliched ideas.
Yet, it makes me wonder if a grand gesture of different sorts would help. Again, a grand gesture is something that’s often misunderstood. Yes, it’s putting pressure over the partner to like whatever we do just ’cause of the grandeur. But, there’s more heart in the works and efforts that take place behind. It’s more about ‘I don’t care if it costs me a noticeable amount of fortune, I just want you to see happy and surprised’ than the usual show-off for which it’s written off. The usual fears of what if she doesn’t like what I do is what urges me to settle something personal and intimate.
A simple day out with my girl as we enjoy the road trip, cinema, shopping, and a healthy meal at the favorite restaurant of hers look more secure than the other things. However, what’s the kick in it if your first anniversary is not different from the usual weekend getaway. Hence, I decided to make it more personal yet monumental for her to make the day special. I have decided to start the day on my usual road trip plan. As we reach the end of the day, I’m gonna drive her to the lake that’s on the outskirts of the city and I will take her to the middle of the lake in a boat. Under the full moon, I will give her a scrapbook consisting of every single precious moment from this one year. It doesn’t end there, I will drive her back to the shores where we will have our specially prepared dinner in the moonlight and then drive back to her home where we bid goodbye with a kiss.
