"What&amp;#x27;s the best present you&amp;#x27;ve ever gotten from a guy? Today, Erin from Design for Mankind shares the sweetest gift from a man who later became her husband...Here&amp;#x27;s Erin&amp;#x27;s story: Ken and I had a rather unconventional beginning. We had only been dating a few months before he moved to take a movie industry job in Los Angeles. Rather than following him, I wanted to finish school in the Midwest, so we transitioned into a long-distance relationship. We kept things casual and I promised to visit as often as I could. After being apart for three months, Ken purchased a plane ticket for me to fly out to see him. Since our relationship was still pretty new, I felt wrong having him buy my plane ticket, especially after hearing of his long hours and minimal pay on the set. So I sent him a check to cover the flight, forgetting all about it until the conversation came back three years later...during our Valentine&amp;#x27;s Day as a married couple! We had ordered Chinese take-out and were relaxing on the sofa when he pulled out an envelope with a check inside. At first, I was totally offended--was he giving me money to buy my own gift? But then I saw my own signature and the memo--- &amp;#x27;L.A. flight.&amp;#x27; Ken took the check from my hands and ripped it up, telling me that during that first visit, he realized we&amp;#x27;d be together forever. &amp;quot;There was no need to cash the check, because eventually, what&amp;#x27;s yours would be mine and what&amp;#x27;s mine would be yours.&amp;quot; Swoon. Best present ever. Thanks, Erin! How cute is that, dear readers? What about you guys? What was your best gift ever? P.S. Another husband&amp;#x27;s seriously romantic gift idea (involving flowers). And Erin also talks about sharing a toothbrush with her husband. Plane photo: istock.com "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
