What was supposed to be a romantic dinner on Irwin and Sasha’s 10th anniversary turned out to be a horrifying evening filled with police sirens and an unexpected explosion. Irwin’s grand plan to surprise his wife spiraled into a comedy of errors that left him questioning his judgment.
You know those moments when you think you’ve got the perfect plan, and then life decides to throw you a curveball?

Well, buckle up, because I’m about to tell you about the time I tried to surprise my wife for our 10th anniversary and ended up in a comedy of errors that would make even the most seasoned sitcom writer blush.
I’m Irwin, your average 34-year-old guy with a penchant for grand gestures and a wife who’s way out of my league.
Sasha and I go way back. We’re high school sweethearts turned college lovebirds. We were those annoying friends everyone knew would end up together, and sure enough, we tied the knot right after graduation.

What do I love most about Sasha? Her laugh.
It’s this infectious giggle that starts small and builds into a full-blown belly laugh that can light up a room. It’s the same laugh that echoed through the halls of our high school when I’d crack terrible jokes just to hear it.
Honestly, I still wonder why she laughed at those awful jokes. Was she just being nice to me?
Anyway, let me tell you what I’ve been doing for our anniversaries for the past decade.

Year one? A surprise trip to Hawaii where I almost lost our passports (smooth, right?).
Year five? A midnight surprise party where half our friends fell asleep before Sasha even arrived.
Last year? I gifted her a car with a giant bow on top, only to realize I’d forgotten to put gas in it. Yeah, we had to push it to the nearest gas station. Romantic, huh?
