Last night Mr Butterscotch and I went out to Target to get some snacks for the movie we were going to see (his movie night pick - Meet the Spartans - here we come!). While he was scanning the DVD section, he pointed out a movie called Paris, je t’aime. I was so excited for many reasons - it made me think of his proposal, showed he was thinking about something that was special to us, and I love looking at French words and actually knowing what it means!
During the movie I started to think about Valentine’s Day. I know it’s 3 weeks away, but since this is our first as a married couple, I want to do something special for him that won’t break the bank so I think I will actually make him something. Why not?!? I already have my crafty hat on thinking of my cards for the Weddingbee Valentines card swap.
With my intermediate French skills in mind, I started to think about how you say “I love you” in different languages. After a little digging, I found a few I thought I would share with all of you! I will be sure to show you what I end up doing with all my new words of love!
What language do you tell you honey you love him in? Any special phases you can share with me?!
