6 months ago today we married and the only thing I planned to make before remembering is bratwurst, beans, and potatoes-not a romantic meal I know.
What can I do to make tonight special for my husband?

Besides the suggestions you've already gotten, remember what it is you're celebrating....your marriage & your new life together!
Did you have a photo album made of your wedding photos? Spend some time looking back through them, share with each other what you were thinking in certain pictures, and share your favorite memories of your wedding day. Even if you didn't have "professional" album made, look through any wedding pictures you have that relative or friend took.
Make a meal that is special to you two, go on a date to a place that has meaning for your relationship like a certain restaurant or place where he proposed.
Also, I found this "checklist" recently on thenest.com where you write down your individual goals & goals as a couple for the next year. Then you put it away & open it on New Year's to see what all you accomplished during the previous year. It seems like a fun thing to do together & a neat tradition to start in your first year of marriage. Here's the link:

Congrats on your marriage!

It not the food that makes it a romantic/special dinner.
Now, this answer is from a guy married over 31 years...and to me, you guys are still on your honeymoon...so treat it the same way...believe me, it's not the food.
One, if you both like wine, get a bottle of your favorite and have it already open when he gets home...make sure you have the right music on...have a few candles going, but not enough to cause a forest fire!
Two, if you have a tub, have a nice hot bath waiting for both of you...maybe start the water when you hear/see him drive up..or have him call just before he gets home...tell him you might need him to pick something up before he comes home.
Three, meet him at the door with just a ribbon around you neck.
Four, let nature take it's course...believe me, he won't care if you fix him TV dinners.
If you have a fireplace, just eat dinner in front of it...throw some spreads & pillows on the floor...remember, it's not the food, it's all in the presentation.

It's always nice to give something that shows you put some effort into it as of buying something. My 4 year anniversary will be next week on the 27th. I will tell you a few things I have done. For our first 6 months I made him of course his favorite dish, candle lights, romantic music and sexy clothes the usual but I also made a heart cake ( I never bake and he knows it) and in a little box, which on the outside read: Why I love you, I got 12 blank cards and wrote nice, naughty and sexy things that made adore him. Till this day he still has it. For our first year I made a book Titled Our first and inside with dates, the expiriences, pics or cartoon drawings and how it made me feel, our first date, kiss, movie, the first time we had sex, meeting my parents, the first time he said I love you, the funny and embarrasing first too like the first fart, all that good stuff and of course the last one was our first year together. We still read it every know and then and we laugh or just talk about a specific moment.

I probably missed tonites dinner, but perhaps for your 9 month anniversary....
Ask him what he'd like you to make - what is his favorite meal (whether or not you make it...if new, why not?)
If you make something that makes his tummy jump with joy, then you will make his heart go pitter-patter!
What was that saying:
The way to a man's heart is thru his stomach???
I hope you did well tonight - in fact, I'm sure you did just fine!
Happy 6th month anniversary!!

Mott... has the right idea!
Congrats, Breezer!
Of course, the food will be wonderful as you make it, and you might just want to make the setting romantic - only you know yourself and your husband best! For example, mine doesn't see candles and fine china as 'romantic', so I don't go there.... unless I want to just do it for my own benefit!
I left a trail of sticky notes with suggestive comments going up the stairwell to where I was - yes, waiting with a bow on! Ah, we ate much later.....
Just enjoy - look over pics or the video of your wedding, if you want...

Get a bottle of red wine, some good crackers and cheese and set a nice quiet time in the early p.m. for the two of you to relax and talk about your first six months and plans for the next six months.
After the wine is gone, it won't matter what you serve for dinner or even if you serve it at all!

You'll make it special in your own way. I can almost guarantee your husband is not going to make a big deal of it.
What if you still have the dinner you planned, and serve it on your wedding china with candles and music? Have fun with it!

I'll tell you what?...........From these six months, you could atleast have some knowledge of his likes and dislikes....So I would suggest you is you do whatever he likes the whole day...That doesn't mean only his favourite dishes....It includes everything.........Then you'll see what a big difference it makes to your married life
