Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Plan your strategy: where you will go, and how you will "kidnap" your mate. Make dinner reservations at a favorite restaurant, or whisk your mate away for a weekend at a romantic bed and breakfast inn.
Step2
Elicit help from others who can keep a secret. This will help you make arrangements without arising suspicion from your mate.
Step3
Make arrangements for the children and pets, if you have them, to go to Grandma's. Taking this initiative can alleviate a lot of worries.
Step4
Pick up your wife from work and drive to your destination. Or pick him up at home tricking, him into thinking you're going somewhere else.
Step5
Let the staff at the restaurant, hotel or bed and breakfast know that this is a special occasion and arrange for fresh flowers, champagne or something special.
