About a month after I met my husband, I got:

-A plastic rose (I had mentioned that I don't like receiving flowers because there's no point in a plant being altered from its natural course for me).

-A top I already owned (He said he was sure I would like it since I bought the same one myself).

-A robot dog (I lived in an apartment that didn't allow dogs, so I got a metal, battery operated toy). :/

He was so earnest, so enthusiastic about giving me these... I was just stumped and at a loss for words. Of course he's heard plenty about it since then. And I married him anyway, 12 years ago today. :)
