WIN 2 Night Romantic Break for two at the Maritime Hotel on the Wild Atlantic Way

Lovely competition!

One morning I was headed for my usual pre-work coffee, I noticed a bit of excitement when I landed in by the ladies in there, my coffee was produced with an excited 'it's already paid for'. My husband had done a detour on his way to work and prepaid a few coffees for me. Made my week so it did The coffee shop ladies were still buzzing over it for ages after

When we first started dating my partner drove 150 miles to take me to dinner and then drove home again.

Herself brought me sailing on a yacht to the Aran Islands. Sailed over, toured the island (the pubs mostly), spent a night on the yacht and sailed back the next day. Pretty cool all n all.

Flew halfway across the world to surprise her.

I gave my g/f a surprise holiday. It was the 1st time she was every out of Ireland and she loved it.

Flew back from America to surprise her on a week off I got randomly. Only found out about it on the Friday evening, went home booked flights and flew the next morning.

After 2 kids and 3 and a half years without a break, we took 2 days off in Dublin. Strolled around the city for 2 days doing absolutely nothing. Most romantic thing we've done in years. Brilliant.

Five years ago, our then 9 week old son sent 6 weeks in Crumlin Hospital. During that time he underwent a 9 hour life saving open heart operation, spending the following 5 day's in ICU. It was a testing time for both my wife and myself, plus we had a then 2 year old son at home who needed his parents too. I commuted from Limerick to Dublin several days a week but my wife never left our sick sons bedside. More often than not she spent the night on the floor beside him, but it never bothered her. This was May 2009. In august of that year for our wedding anniversary, I sent herself and her closest friend to London for a luxury weekend away, all paid for. She needed the break more than she could have ever realized and came home a different woman, I still admire her for the sacrifices she made over that 6 week period of our lives.

Surprised her with a romantic getaway to Cork at the end of August.....??

I struck up a friendship with a girl who worked in a shop opposite mine a few years ago, and after a long while of chatting through FB I decided to ask her out. She had mentioned in passing that hugs were her favourite thing and there was literally nothing better than a massive bear hug to cheer her up. A few weeks later she was saying she'd had a rubbish day so I borrowed a bear costume off a mate, showed up at her work and gave her a massive hug in front of everyone. She loved it and immediately said yes to a date!

We only went out a couple of times before it tanked but I'm now in a great relationship with a much lovelier girl for whom I've done loads of romantic stuff, but the example above is probably the most unusual thing I've done! Don't tell the missus :pac:

Every single night when he gets home from work, he opens the door, walks into the kitchen while I'm sorting dinner and pulls me in for a smooch.

Sometimes he has flowers, a chocolate bar, lemsips if i'm sick,

.... and every evening he has his arms open.

We might not be rich or have all we wished for in life but every day is romantic .... because he is such a lovely guy.

When I was proposing to my wife I arranged with her manager for her to have the day off (without her knowing).

I booked flights to Glasgow, hotel and an appointment with a jeweller (ring ordered already).
So on Friday morning I came down to the kitchen in my suit, proposed, told her she wasn't going to work today cos we're flying to Scotland for the weekend and to get your ring.

The little things! I came home once after a terrible day. He said nothing, just went and got me a hot chocolate, some biscuits and a disney movie, and sat down to watch it with me. Perfect!

We'd decided to change from renting an apartment to renting a house, so I booked a couple of days off work to do the moving. My girlfriend couldn't get the time off work.
Unbeknownst to her, I'd been talking to a goldsmith for a couple of months plotting and planning to get her perfect ring made for her, but as she doesn't wear much jewellery, I wasn't able to get her ring size! We came up with a cunning plan though...

So on moving day, when she got home, I put dinner in the oven (M&S dinner deals, hard to beat when you've not much time, but want something reasonably nice at home!) and I went into the kitchen to "check on dinner", and came out, knelt at her feet, and opened a little box which contained the jewels that would comprise the head of her ring laid out inside, handed her print outs of the two ring designs we'd come up with and popped the question! She said yes!
I went back into the kitchen then, and came back out to her with a "Congratulations on your engagement!" card, and a big bunch of white roses.

Every weekday morning; a wake up kiss and a cup of tea left beside me in bed before he leaves for work.
