well, it's both paper..

Might suck a bit, yeah, but you're going to Berlin anyway, so whatever. You expect tickets from him too or something?

wow what a loser jeez. Why do all the idiotic dudes get the great women. I would of gotten you like a dinner for two and bought you like a little diamond braclet. A freakin toilet roll wtf. If thats the first year you sure you want to be with this dude the rest of your life. Not saying your relationship should be based on gifts but wow toilet roll

Seriously, you just spent a bunch of money on tickets to Berlin. While I know it would have been nice to receive something romantic from your man, he's a man. He probably didn't even understand the whole "paper anniversary" thing.

I can't believe how many people here have never heard of the "paper anniversary", or any of the others for that matter. All this bullshit about sanctity of marriage, and you don't even know about anniversaries? C'mon. But OP - kudos for doing a good job on the gift. Next year, get him a dustpan and a broom. Maybe he'll get the hint. :)

if you think about it, he went above and beyond paper--he got you cardboard!! and it's the thought that counts, right?

look at the history of the tradition; the happy couple is supposed to still be paying for the wedding/ dowrie, and not have money for anything other than paper to write a love note on... the more extravagant the wedding, the cheaper the gift, and plus where would you be w/o TP? and he might have been trying to be cute and lovey dovey, symbolically saying that he'll be there when you are too old to wipe your own ass, thinking that, conciously, in the first year is a measure of devotion.

hopefully it's at least 2 ply

awesome another fml about a snobby woman bitching that she actually got something for her anniversary. ydi

well aren't you going with him? and the money is both of yours anyway

he's a keeper

Lately so much FML's come down to "I don't have a sense of humour but my boyfriend/husband does, boohoo"
