Time flies when you are having fun and before you know it, you have been married to your spouse for 15 wonderful years. Boy, this one really snuck up on you, it’s a good thing you ordered a crystal gift for the occasion. Crystal gifts are perfect for 15 year wedding anniversaries. But a gift exchange and dinner shouldn’t be the only highlight of an anniversary celebration, make it a day full of romance and memories. Even if you are on a tight budget, there are enjoyable activities you can engage that cost nothing.

Recreate a Special Meal

Do you remember what you ate the first time you went to dinner as a couple? If not, maybe you recall the first meal you ate as a married couple. Regardless the scenario, pick a menu from a special occasion and recreate it in your own kitchen. So if chicken piccata was served for your first date, brush up on your culinary skills and preheat the oven.

Redo Your First Date

Even if your first date was cheap food at a lousy burger joint that no longer exists and a movie that garnered 12 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, recreate it as best as you can. So instead, take her out to another lousy burger joint and make sure you catch a movie that critics hate.

Make a Mix CD

There is little doubt that music was played at your wedding and you both probably had songs you either dedicated to one another or hold special meaning to you both. So for your 15 year anniversary, make a mixed CD of songs that hold meaning for both of you right now, a sort of updated list of special music.
