So, I’ve had a long week. I won’t bore you with the details—suffice to say my husband and I bought a new house and have been painting and moving all week… And I never want to see another box for as long as I live.
When I am a bit flat, there’s nothing like a bit of romance to perk me back up again. I was feeling so great while watching this video that I thought I might share it in the hopes of making you smile too. Go watch it—I’ll wait here…

Grand gestures of love like these are beautiful. They don’t happen every day, which makes them very special. They take something that is usually private and only between two people—intimate, romantic love—and scream it from the rooftops.
To see someone go to that much effort for love—well, it gives everyone hope that true love really does exist.
The little, everyday things that go into love and relationships are just as special, of course. The cup of tea your partner brings you in bed in the mornings, your favorite chocolate bar they bring home at the end of the day. A lovely hug. All those are important too. But they’re also evidence of a completely different thing—a sign of caring between two longterm partners, usually.
These flamboyant shows of love are also wonderful, and they are the quintessential representation of love in its early stages: loud, impulsive, and energetic. Simply magic!
While that video is an extreme example, there are many great stories out there to share. What’s the best grand gesture of love you’ve ever seen … or experienced?
About Emma
Hi Emma,
You are true about love gestures. When I happen to see them I feel all bubbly, charming and romantic. They are great ways to input some passion into us. While I was in a long distance relationship, I am fueled by lots of those couples kissing on busy market spots
Cheers,
Jane.
I’m looking to do something grand for my boyfriend of 11 years. I have some ideas but it seems so hard to pull something together. Especially because I don’t have a large connection of friends or resources like that. I’d really love any ideas people have!
