Things to add to your letter ;)
This was in a e-newsletter I get and thought I would share it. 
Go for Broke
by Zach Reitmeier
For Valentine's day this year I was completely broke but needed
something romantic to give to my fiancee. So I wrote her a letter
explaining that although I did not have the money to offer her
an expensive gift, I was giving her one that I put a lot more
thought into.
I told her how much I was looking forward to marrying her and
listed twenty reasons why I love her so much. I concluded the
letter by telling her that I knew we might have some rough times
in the years ahead but I would always love her and whenever she
needed encouragement she should pick up that letter and read the
words of someone that would love her unconditionally forever.
I had it printed on a sheet of really good paper in a fancy font,
put a few dried rose petals in the open spots of the letter (I dried
them flat especially for this), and had it laminated so that it would
last a long time. I put it in a box with a lot more rose petals
and wrapped it in white tissue paper covered with more rose petals.
The whole thing (including wrapping) cost about $8 and judging by
the tears when she opened it, it made a really good impression.
Much better than some of the more expensive gifts I've gotten her
in the past.
