This is THE perfect date night movie. When I first saw it in seventh grade, I remember wishing that I could watch it with a boyfriend. It would be a few years before I even had a real boyfriend but it made it even sweeter to watch it with my husband. We each new almost every single line to the movie and had so much fun saying the script with the actors. At one point, as Roger left the room to refill his glass, I asked him if he would mind filling mine up to. His response was "As you wish." My heart swooned.
Why not invite a little romance into your life?

Our whole family loves Princess Bride.
And that crostini stuff looks great, too.

I think a "theme" date night is a fabulous idea!
Princess cocktails? Princess bride? Priceless!
I'm pretty sure I'd go on a date with you myself if you make those things for me!!
Okay, fine. Not really. My husband would be too jealous. But they still look wonderful.
Leigh, I am going to hire you to plan date nights for me!! This looks AWESOME. And I love the Princess Bride! :)xo
This looks like absolute perfection to me!
