Save me a seat!

People who know my husband will find this hard to believe, but it’s true. Paul likes chick flicks. He willingly indulges every Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts, Amy Adams movie I put in front of him—at home or in the theater. So I’m pretty sure we’ll see the new movie, “Valentine’s Day” when it comes out in a few weeks. I’m excited.

(Don’t bother sending me a review. McDreamy and McSteamy on the big screen. We’re going.)

My sister, on the other hand, has to bargain with her husband to get him to see a romantic comedy. To surprise her this Valentine’s Day, all my brother-in-law needs to do is agree to see this movie, without rolling his eyes. To exceed her expectations, he could get her a gift card to the theater, a box of tissues, and some movie candy–all packaged up with a pledge to willingly watch (even embrace) this likely-to-be-cheesyrom-com.

If he can’t stomach the Valentine’s Day movie, then a gift card to the video store and a promise to indulge a chick flick of her choosing would be equally romantic.
