Every week since we started dating, Mr. Mojito has given me a bouquet of flowers. Sometimes it is orange tulips, raspberry colored peonies, calla lilies, or cymbidium orchids, but this week he gave me beautiful two-toned roses, berries, and hydrangeas.
This is a weekly tradition I look forward to. It has even become a fun game between us. He never gives me the flowers on the same day so I am still surprised every time I receive them, and he always makes me guess what flowers are in the bouquet. Sometimes I am right, but most of the time he tricks me because he tends to create bouquets with very unique flowers (think dahlias, freesia, berries, and hiasynth). But the aspect I love most about this tradition is that it is special and sacred to just us.
So, this got me thinking….what special traditions do you are your loved one have? Is it going to weekly movies or dinners? Brunch on Sundays? Game night? Nightly walks? Cooking classes?
I thought it would be fun to hear what other couples do and maybe even get some ideas of fun, new traditions we could start.
If we both get home by 7:30, we always go on a walk around the neighborhood with the Boom. Walking is one of our favorite things to do together, especially in our new neighborhood where all the houses are different and there are so many streets to explore. We also love walking the nieghborhood on Sundays when all the Open Houses are going on - we are so those annoying people who show up all sweaty and are not seriously considering buying a home but want to check out the goods!
You get flowers every week?! That is an awesome tradition! I can’t really think of any traditions me and my guy have right now, but I assure you, none of them are that awesome!
It’s not much of a tradition, but most nights my partner and I finish the day by watching the news together. About half way through I always end up falling asleep using him as a pillow in some fashion. I can’t imagine finishing a day otherwise.
My fiance and i always spend Sundays going to church and then hanging out at my parents house for most of the afternoon. We eat lunch, read the paper, and do our laundry while we’re there;)

BC (before charlie-pup) we used to go to brunch most sundays. now our favorite thing to do is hang out with him. :)
We watch The Office or 30 Rock when we eat dinner together (which happens very, very rarely). We’ll have to abolish that tradition once we have kids, but I love laughing together at the end of a long day.

We live about 2 hours apart right now, so we meet in the middle once a week (Wednesday night , unless either of us have a conflicy) for dinner.
