Well, our fifth anniversary is on June 15, and we celebrated our honeymoon in WDW. We coudln't get back for our fifth because we were there over new years. As it turns out, I got paid to do some consulting work (which she didn't know about and was totally unexpected) adn I was able to special order the painting "Bittersweet Embrace" by John Alvin last week. I ordered number 156 out of 195. Get it? 156...15th of June? My dad owns a frame shop, so I'm going to get a nice frame job done for it and give it to her for our fifth anniversary. It'll be nice to be able to shock her with perhaps the nicest painting from her favorite movie of all time! Can I get an amen?

Originally Posted By Labuda What a wonderful surprise and gift, and how neat what # of the edition you got!

And definitely the most I've ever spent on a non-park ticket, non-hotel room at Disney. Hell, I've never even paid that mucgh for a rental car for my entire trip! lol As of this trip coming up, though, I have paid that much for airfare! heh
Originally Posted By Ursula I think it is a LOVELY gift and how very lucky for you to get a timely bit of extra cash. Any ideas on how you will present it to her? I'd find the place where it will hang, put it up and somehow hang a gift-wrapped box around it, so that you can take it down for her (thus presenting the gift already hung) instead of her having to unwrap the picture. and because of the subject matter, you SOMEHOW have to have one single red rose involved. Maybe as the bow?
Originally Posted By gaston lives I like the idea about the rose being involved! I''ll definitely ahve to implement taht! Sorry ORDDU, I didn't mean to make you cry!

My 8 year old will probably want to stay with him and go swimming.My DD 16 and his son 17 are also going. This will be the first time he has gone with us. The last 2 years it was just me and my kids,which was fun,but DW is my favorite place and wanted to share that with him.CB looks romantic.I didn't think he would ever go with us but he is! Seafairy
