Make Weddings a Date.

Weddings are wonderful events that just ooze with love. Take advantage of all the weddings you go to by making them more of a date. Everyone loves to see the bride as she/he emerges for the first time. There is a feeling of love by everyone at that moment in time. However the reception is the part of the wedding you can use as your date. Most often there is food and drink available as well as music and dancing. Mingling with friends and or family will can be a wonderful time. Plus at a wedding you just have to feel the love and it most likely will transfer into your feelings also. So if that euphoric feeling might hit you both hard and you remember your first date, first kiss, or your wedding day. That is a set up for a wonderful evening for the two of you. So accept each wedding invitation as a chance for the two of you to relive your firsts and make your relationship stronger.

Save thing for sentimental gifts later.

One thing you should get in the habit of doing is saving things that might be really sentimental later on in your relationship. These little reminders of the past work well as presents during the future. Some of the things I have saved and given as a gift are, the movie tickets from our first date, a flyer from the cruise we got married on and our first email conversations that I printed out before even our first date. At the time these didn't seem like important little tit bits but when you present them to your partner on your 5th year wedding anniversary they seem a little more important. Pictures can also be helpful so take lots of pictures when you do anything together. Other things I can think of that would make great gifts are: pregnancy tests from a child (great for a graduation present for your partner), the recorded version of a song that you first dance to, or some momentous of your first trip together. Heck you could even take a picture of the two of you each time you have an anniversary and then each year give it as a present as you add another picture to it. Memories are so precious to us and the simplest thing can remind us of the great times we have had.
