ABC Album
True love encompasses under the sun. From beginning to end. And A through Z. So why not celebrate your ultimate affection with an ABC Album? Here’s how:
* Purchase a photo album or scrapbook
* Devote each page to a different letter of the alphabet
* Pick a word that corresponds with each letter (“adorable” for “A”, “beautiful” for “B”, “Couples Trip ‘08” for “C”, etc.)
* Arrange pictures, letters, ticket stubs and/or anecdotes about your sweetheart, your relationship, or your memories together that correspond with each word
* Present the finished album to your sweetheart. Or complete it up to a certain letter, and ask for their help to finish it.

Everyday Romance
Romance doesn’t have to be on a Grand Stage. In fact, it’s often more powerful when you can create magic in everyday events. Here’s an easy idea to inspire you:
• Find a household item your sweetheart will come across soon
• Attach a romantic, playful note to the item
• Try to have the note play off of the item (for example, “I can’t wait to get my hands on you” on an oven mitt or “you know just how to turn me on” on a set of keys)

Lovers’ Book Club
Everybody loves to curl up with a good book. And if your sweetheart is an especially avid reader, they’ll appreciate this gesture even more. Read up:
• Find out what new book your sweetheart wants to read
• Purchase the book for your sweetheart
• Write a romantic note in the front of the book. Be sure to date it.
• For extra effect, include a bookmark that speaks to your sweetheart – or your love

Clean Loving
OK guys, this one is for you. It may cause you to sneeze a bit at first, but if you can pull it off … well, she’ll have cleared out a whole new space for you in her heart. Here’s how it works:
• Create a “Clean the House” certificate
• Have the certificate include vacuuming, laundry, mopping, scrubbing – the whole deal
• Give the certificate to your sweetheart. Tell her she can redeem it whenever she wants to.
• Bonus points if you let her watch you clean. French Maid outfit not required.

Hot and Steamy
Things can really heat up in the shower. But how do you make your sweetheart smile when he or she is in there alone? Well, it’s easier than you’d think.
• Take a shower before your sweetheart. Make sure to steam the bathroom mirror up good.
• Write “I love you” or something else sweet on the mirror with your finger.
• The message will fade away with the steam. But after your sweetheart gets out of their shower, they’ll see your message.
About The
Chief Romance Officer
Randy Russell
AKA Randymon
There is a line in a John Mayer song that resonates with me and guides me in my efforts to embrace love and romance both personally and professionally. “I believe that my life’s going to see the love I give returned to me”.
I am not perfect nor am I an expert in love and romance however, since joining Couples Resorts in 2001, my passion for creating emotional connections between our guests, staff and our company cannot be denied. One of the most vivid testaments to this passion involves reading guests’ love letters over the phone and in person. Hundreds of Couples Resorts’ guests (past, present and future) regularly to submit letters along with dates and times to call their significant others. Typically, my call catches the person on the other end of the line completely off guard. Sometimes they are suspicious and ask something like “OK Joe, is that you?”, but mostly they are shocked and silenced as they listen to the love I am relaying from their significant other. The calls usually and end in tears of joy - often on both ends of the phone. I have called a Board Room to read a love letter over a speakerphone and a Nurses Station at a hospital, Rehearsal Dinners, and the Groom just before walking down the aisle. Newlyweds en route to the airport for their flight to Jamaica and to our resort rooms, including one to a wake up the Groom-to-be. I get such joy from these calls. My life is already seeing the love I give returned to me.
