Answer 1

Just call your girlfriend and explain you are not able to make it back but will make it up to her. I am sure she would understand. If not tell your parents that you want to go home early.

Answer 2

Some things can't be helped. Call your girl on the big day and enjoy your time with your parents.

Answer 3

It's great that you want to be with her on your anniversary...if only more guys felt that strongly about it!  However, some things just can't be helped.  Call her on that day, arrange for flowers or something to be delivered to her, and plan something great for when you get back.

Trust me - she'll be thrilled to pieces that you're that committed to being with her, and she'll enjoy whatever you plan when you get back.

Answer 4

nice to have such a dillema, enjoy your vacation, you may never be in that position again.

Answer 5

If our parents aren't planning to go home until the later date there is little you can do about it. It's their holiday too and it wouldn't be fair for you to try to cut it short, and I'm sure they want you there to enjoy it with them. Family is important.

However, relationships are important too. Obviously this girl means a lot to you, and I respect that. My boyfriend and I have been together now for about two years. We couldn't be together on our first year aniversary either, but we found a way to make the day special anyway. I'm a bit of a hopeless romantic, or maybe not so hopeless since I do in fact have a significent other, but anyway.. I think I can offer you some suggestions.

Call a local flower shop back home, or one of those online flower/gift shops that deliver flower arrangements and similar gifts for special occasions. Order a really nice bouquet for her and arrange to have it delivered to her house on the special day.

Figure out the time difference between where you are and where she is back home. Call her just as the clock back home would be striking midnight so that you can wish her a happy aniversary and tell her how much she means to you as soon as the special day begins. It might feel weird calling in the middle of the night, but as long as she has a cell phone or something so her parents wont be the ones getting the call it should be fine. I, personally, wouldn't mind being woken up at all for something that sweet. You could call her, text her, or email her at other times throughout the day too just to show her that she's on your mind all day.

Send her something in the mail. A package might take a bit too long, but you could buy or make a nice card and write something sweet and thoughtful in it. Add in an "I wish you were here" or "I miss you" to let her know how much you'd like to be there. If you can't get a card, just write her a nice letter. Any girl would LOVE it if a guy took the time to sit down and write out a letter and mail it to them. Send it ASAP and if she doesn't have it when you call her on the special day, let her know that something special is on the way for her.

Show her that you've got her on your mind by finding a special gift to bring back for her. It might be a bit late, but if you spend some time on the phone with her on the special day you can let her know that you haven't forgotten. France is the perfect place to find romantic gift ideas. Find something you think she'll like. I don't know what the weather is like where you live, but I personally think a nice, special blanket is a wonderful gift for someone you care about. It's something they can wrap up in every night and think of you. It's like a way of holding your special someone even if you can't actually be there. But i'm sure there are lots of other things you could find too. Just be creative and thoughtful. If you want, you can send her an emial, message, or phone call every day leading up to the day you come home and leave her a little hint about what it is. Keep her guessing until you're home, but don't tell her what it is until you' re there.

There are other things you can do as well. Just be creative and put your heart into it. There's no reason your first year can't be special just because you can't get home.

Oh, one other gift idea that just came to me. Get her a nice photo album or scrap book if she's into that and when you get home, spend an evening filling it with all sorts of things you have saved to remember the first year. Photos, notes you passed back and fourth, ticket stubs from movies or things you went to on dates, things that remind you of one another, etc. If you don't have these things, collect them durring the coming year and make your memory book as you go. I would love it if my boyfriend did something like that with me.

Good luck
