I’d like to say a little more about Anniversary Picnic Ideas, because this is a big one that people ask about. I don’t think that we can ever have too many ideas.
We talked about getting away for the day and calling ahead and all that. So now I’d like to talk a little about the food, in case you’re bringing your own.
A friend of mine once told me the story of her 15th anniversary, and it moved me. Romanticism can certainly be alive in marriages for 15, 20, even 50 years.
On the day of their wedding – 15 years later – Michelle and Barry set out for what was to be a fun, relaxing day picnicking at the base of a mountain a few miles outside of their town. Barry just couldn’t have gotten things more right that day.
When they finally got to their spot and started laying out the food, Barry explained to Michelle why he packed the foods he packed.
“As an appetizer, I wanted to have something that reminded me of your beautiful blue eyes, so I brought some fresh blueberries,” Barry said.
This continued with some other foods and the lovely wine that Barry brought in the picnic basket, but you get the drift. A man in love with his wife can sometimes see his wife’s beauty in everything – even food or the essence of food. Pick foods that you know your wife will love, and while it’s not necessary to compare her to the food you bring – honestly, how far could a person really take that? – find a spirit of whimsy in your day and what you’re eating.
Make it fun. Even a little “corn”y if possible!
