If Anniversary Cards Told The Truth [Warden]

I hate buying cards for my wife, but for some reason they're very important to her--birthdays, Valentines Day and anniversaries are a must. A thoughtful present or a nice evening out means nothing without one.

Here are a few ideas for these cards. Please add your own suggestions in the comment section.

Even though I sometimes forget to say how pretty you are or how thankful I am that you never check my browser history...

I know I sometimes come home at 3am smelling of Thunderbird and trannie testicles, but...
