I filled the box with the slips of paper and inserted a note into my "box of love". It sounds cheesy but it went over very well (extremely well). She still has the box.

That's what I'm talking about! The personal touch. Something that takes real thought and effort shows you care way more than anything else you can do. I bet she has it to this day!
By the by, Mal, us American boys aren't without hope. This is the poem I wrote for my wife on our wedding day. I read it at the reception. Wasn't a dry eye in the house:

I look into your eyes and see,
The love that there resides for me
Your beauty, elegance and grace
Exist in more than form and face
I promise you my love, my life
Ever your husband, ever my wife
Along with you to grow and love,
Along with you to walk, my love
Along with you to live our lives
Along with you to thrive or strive
Along with you I’ll share life’s feast
And never from this bond released
For today and always, by your side
A husband to my loving bride
From this day forward you’ll concur,
I’m yours forever—

Suffice it to say, my first name rhymes with "Concur".
And let me tell ya, she loved it. She has a small book of the poems I've written for her, and she threatens to publish...
