Marrige Week Winners?
Thanks to our four entries – clearly Gippsland men need some romance lessons!
Trisha from Traralgon - After being married for 40 years in May, I walked into our bedroom one night and there on my pillow was a fresh bunch of roses picked out of our garden and a love note calling me his Honey bun. ......nice
Angela from Traralgon - The most romantic thing my husband did was... "one weekend when children were around the age of 2 and 4 years, he organised a surprise stay in Melbourne. It was a total surprise with him even organising baby sitters for the children. I will never forget that. Appreciating all you do on 103.9.
Lisa from Churchill - The most romantic thing my hubby has done is when he whisked me and the family away for a weekend at Phillip Island for my b'day and had everything organised and spoilt me rotten.
Melissa from Lillico - I don't think my husband has one single romantic bone in his body, so entering this competition has been a challenge for him. He really wanted to enter tho - we enjoy the station so much, and wanted to support you.
The best he could come up with was writing me a note telling me he loves me....only thing was he couldn't find any paper, so he used toilet paper!
Thanks Melissa - you get the sympathy prize!!! ...at least he tried!
