“One year, I surprised my girlfriend and drove her out of town to this beautiful Valentine’s weekend getaway. I took her to a five-star resort and had flowers and chocolate-covered strawberries and champagne waiting in the room and we had an amazing three-course meal prepped already and a hotel, beachside view.”
Beth Maitland (Traci, Y&R)
“When my daughter was a baby, we lived on a small ranch outside Los Angeles and I drove a pretty ranch-y vehicle with a standard transmission. I decided I needed an easier car to manage a little girl in a car seat in the back, so I looked at all sorts of safe sedans and was haggled and bait-and-switched at dealers all over L.A. As a surprise, my husband arranged to add a little to the kitty and got me the car of my dreams, a beautiful Jaguar sedan. I moved into luxury mommy car and we still have it, 22 years later. It was the most romantic and most practical and most spoiling thing anyone has ever done for me.”
Bryton James (Devon, Y&R)
“The way I proposed to my [now] ex-wife. I took her to Italy and I had the ring on me, but I didn’t know how I was going to propose. I told myself if I couldn’t find a romantic time while we were in Rome that there was something wrong with me. Finally, we were at the Trevi Fountain while it was night and under the lights, when I popped the question.”
Thorsten Kaye (Ridge, B&B)
“Susan [Haskell, ex-Marty, ONE LIFE TO LIVE et al] called [former Detroit Red Wing] Kris Draper and got me Red Wing tickets for my birthday. Wife, kids, hockey and beer ... nothing more romantic than that!”
Donnell Turner (Curtis, GH)
“Well, the PG version is rose petals leading from the front door to the bathtub.”
Steve Burton (Jason, GH)
“The most romantic thing that ever happened to me? When [wife] Sheree said, ‘Yes!’ ”
Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy, B&B)
“My now-fiancé, Elan, had 10 boxes of my favorite pizza flown in to the States from my hometown in Canada and made a video compilation of all of my girlfriends who live around the world wishing me a happy birthday for my birthday!”
Mary Beth Evans (Kayla, DAYS)
“My husband dressed like a knight in shining armor when he asked me to marry him.”
