Can't believe nobody has mentioned this yet. Congrats!

Me, I spent big on the wife and in return a bunch of coffee table books I'll never look at. But that's marriage.

I got my wife a Ruger LCR .38, a Pandora charm bracelet and a bunch of other stuff she wanted.
I knew she was gonna do something like that 'cause she's been hangin' out at Guitar Center with me a lot and asking questions.

A couple years ago on a random sat in august I told my hubby that we were going to breakfast then drove him to GC. Dragged him in and told him to pick out the gibson he wanted and goodies. He was sooo shocked he almost left lol. He did however pick out a stunning gibson electric which he had always wanted. I was honestly afraid to buy it for him without him picking it. Which is why I didnt do what your wife did. In the end he got the one I almost bought two days before so I guess I would have been ok doing what your wife did. i had also done this with a cheap pawn shop guitar for his 21 bday when we were dating as kids was hus first guitar.
Funniest thing was the guitar center sales guy who was a aging rocker dude. He kept asking me if it was our anniversary or his birthday. When he figured out that I just wanted to I am pretty sure he would have married me on the spot if my hubby and I broke up lol. Congrats on your new guitar...

Nice! Your husband is a lucky guy.

My wife knew that I was interested in getting a new Telecaster and we had looked at the special edition a couple of times and I had decided that, that was the one I wanted to get.
I was gonna wait til after the first of the year to buy it for tax purposes, but she decided that it was going to be my Christmas gift.

I'm happy about that.

For my new 17 streetglide special from the hubby new LED lights from joe Florida. I think 187 led light package with the iphone controller. By having that iphone controller I can make any color I want. Purple lights for my purple bike :-). I had them on my deluxe and loved them (smaller amount I think 87) and the standard purple worked well enough BUT I am looking forward to customizing the color. Pic is from what the smaller amount looked like on my deluxe. I know some of you hate leds but I love blinging out my bikes and then riding the heck out of them. Rhinestones and leds on my bikes make me happy :-) and I think the purple glitter bomb street glide with a purple fade sheild will look great with purple leds :-) while I drag her around the country :-)


What the smaller amount of leds looked like on my deluxe

For the bike, I got a set of DK Custom stealth LED lights and a Garmin GPS that I'll be mounting in a Ram mount.
