I am sure it will put her at ease. I think my problem is Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I have been ignoring it for 15 years- I am a bit pig headed

I mean, her gift is amazingly romantic so I'm sure you're being equally... equally, um... I'm not even sure what word goes here. So what's your gift?

Especially if you've 'surprised' her with a vacuum cleaner on any of your 18 previous attempts...

I would never do such a thing. She is my love, and I don't deserve her.

the fifth is wood, the tenth is tin/aluminum, the fifteenth is crystal and

the 19th is a colonoscopy???

At the risk of being called a sexist, it sounds like you need to repeat the fifth anniversary for something to give her...
