Oh the romance...
This weekend was great and I'll tell you why. My soon to be wife and I decided to go away for the weekend - well saturday night 'cos she works saturdays - and she was happy for me to arrange it and keep it a surprise. All the indications from our previous conversations were that we would be going camping. I however had a different idea.
Through texting Lou at work I had managed to pack all the clothes she would need for our little trip so that when she walked through the front door she could quickly get changed and be ready to go. I had told her previously that she would have to wear a blindfold on the journey as I wanted it to be a complete surprise - she was very excited about this part - I told her that she would have to keep it on until we got at least as far as the first service station. A little lie.
After leaving the house I took a number of detours so that it appeared that we were getting on a different motorway than we actually did. This made her think that we were heading to north wales. In reality we were heading down the M6 to Birmingham - the city where we met and fell in love. Just over an hour after leaving I started to tell her that the motorway was coming to an end and that I thought we would need to go through a little town to find a service station. Five minutes later and I was in the middle of Birmingham amongst busy traffic. Lou is sat next to me with a blindfold on. We had the music blasting out and she was singing her head off in excitement. She thought that we were in a little village in Wales. Little did she know that we were at some traffic lights with cars and people all around us peeking to see why there was a woman with a blindfold on in that car? I just kept looking forward trying not to meet anyone's gaze in embarrassment.
I had booked us into the best hotel in the City. It's called the Hyatt - you may be familiar with it - and it's probably the tallest hotel with 24 floors and is a full glass building. Beautiful. As we were approaching the hotel I told her that she might have to take her blindfold off to help me with directions as I was getting lost - a little white lie. We were on Broad Street when she removed the blindfold and her face was amazing. Her eyes started to well up in shock as her brain tried to calculate where we were. She figured out the Birmingham bit but then asked "well where are we camping?", this was perfect timing as the big glass structure of the hotel came into view. I pointed - "there's the campiste". The tears then came. Her face was again a picture.
I'd booked a king size club class room - which basically meant we had our own private lounge area for exclusive guests and our room was on the top floor overlooking the whole of the city. Absolutely beautiful. We both loved it and found the whole glass wall overlooking the city very kinky. Surfice it to say we didn't sleep much that night. Room service at 3am was very funny (I'll save this for another time with the poor lad working the night shift entering a room festoomed in sex!) The next day we kept looking back wondering whether anybody could have seen us in there ;o
On the Sunday we checked out and strolled around our city for the first time in a few years. We met here as friends ten years ago. How fast time passes. We don't do these things too often - probably no where near as much as we should do - we do make the effort though. It's funny how in life you can easily get into a routine such that as a couple you can almost live two separate lives. Going back to the place where me met was all we needed. No worries, no fears. Just happy tears and love.

That's terribly sweet.
Think i need to hint to my other half...
Ooooouuuuw!!! Cute! :) Makes Birmingham look about a 100 times more romantic than Venice or Paris! Good effort, hope you were spoilt rotten behind those glass walls!
That was very sweet of you. I need to find someone rich and nice! Lokking this good costs money you know!
This is an excellent start to your soon-to-begin marriage: you're already up by like 1000 Hubby Points :)
That's so romantic! I bet she won't ever forget it.
Note that I've not had any replies from the fellas yet - I think I've lost their respect!
Mary: threaten to cut off his balls. normally does the trick.
dora: hello. did you know that Birmingham has more canals than venice? The whole glass wall thing is making my smile still today.
nrm: I'm skint now sorry, otherwise I would help. If you fancy being blindfolded and driven 100 miles from where you live then give me a call ;-)
boffin: got to stack them up - you never know when you might need that credit.
chickybabe - she best not!
You are very fabulous.
Wow, I had no idea you were such a softie. Awwww, how sweet! You got me a bit choked up there. ;)
Er...am I the only one still stuck on the phrase "festooned with sex"???!!!
Yea yea...sweet and all but onto mor eimortant things - what. EXACTLY. does that mean?? ;)
((okay, okay, it was totally sweet and I am totally jealous. You got me. Well done.)) ;)
Check my profile BFS one's face can lie!
You've got this and all I've got is my fucking turtle. What the fuck?
minge - it's all an act. At weekends I dress up as the marquis de sade and stalk the younger generation...
prophgirl - Sometimes I let my macho facade droop a little. You may see my tears at this point. Sorry.
hill - that's for me to know and you to not know - your only get uncircumcised for today!
nrm - sorry, I sometimes forget that you play tricks on us. I'm not really a llama by the way. There I said it. Don't be angry.
blonde vigilante - the dealer deals, you play your cards, it's the only way you know.
Romance is a wonderful thing, you should try the Caledonian in Edinburgh.
That was beautiful. Thanks for making me cry.
Maybe the guys could learn a thing or two from you. Loads of romance=loads of sex.
Wow you're really making the boys look bad here mate. Do you reckon you could email me some hubby points?
I think there is actually a hubby points exchange. American hubby points are worth less than European ones though, just because of the architecture.
Great idea. I think my wife would kill me if I even brought up camping. Hotels she is all about.
I'll gladly say that it sounded most romantic. It makes me very happy to hear that your love still blossoms after so many years.
Aw, that's beautiful!! What a sweetie you are!! Bodes very well for married life! :)
Wow. That sounds fantastic. You're a lovely man.
And I'm glad to hear someone shares my window kink. That's why I'm dying to go here http://www.hotelonrivington.com/ (only with Justin Hawkins rather than my husband) (don't tell my husband).
Here are some links that I believe will be interested
