Svenn get her out of the house for a couple of hours and get Tony to knock up some strawberry shortcake and anise biscotti - she'll fall in love with you all over again I promise!
Maybe you could give a short talk on what our supporters mean to us - how they are worth more than any damn medicine and then as your premier supporter give her a bouquet of flowers. Actually - if you do that then that is something I'd love to send some money towards and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one!

What a lovely idea - she'll appreciate anything you do, I'm sure.
My only suggestion is to please NOT revive the fashions of the day you met. . . . it just doesn't work 30 years later.

If my man after 30 years would tell me that he loves me as much then as when we first met, I would be too busy floating around in cloud 9 to worry about what else he was doing

WHAT !!!!!!!
You LET Chuck come to visit at the same time as your 30th wedding anniversary ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I'm appalled.
For starters, always know that just to REMEMBER and ACKNOWLEDGE so goes a LONG way with us women. Not only for anniversaries, but holidays, birthdays.
I think Helen has a wonderful idea; if Bente is to accompany you to the symposium. If not, maybe you could ask her to come and then proceed with Helen's idea.
Now, as for other ideas:
well, first you would have to get rid of the visitors...............lol
No, seriously Svenn. Knowing Bente, and putting myself in her place, I think it would be WONDERFUL to have her accompany you to the symposium and include Helen's idea. I bet that brings tears to her eyes.
If she can't come for some reason; I think a lovely dinner out for the two of you; ALONG with your guests and my two favorite boys of yours if they would want to tag along would be great. You could still present her with flowers for that too.
Flowers always work. lol
And, I know, that given if I were in Bente's shoes; I would NOT mind in ANY way sharing my wedding anniversary with such honored guest and what they stand for. After all, she has always been there for you with Ch, so why should just a "date" change the way she would feel about supporting ???
I applaud you for thinking ahead, and wanting to please Bente. She is a wonderful person and deserves that.
Now, if all that doesn't seem enough to celebrate. You can do like Danny and I always do when "dates" don't seem to work out for birthdays or celebration days.
Celebrate with Bente after the guest leave.........LOL
Now, there you go. I've answered your post. lol
Hope my idea helps, and if not, let me know. Meanwhile, I'll keep the thinking cap on and if anything else comes to me I'll be sure to let you know.
love you,
EDNA

Tell her exactly how you feel.
Most women can't hear enough that they're loved. The little things, the big things.... all of it. Tell her.
Congrats, Svenn, on the upcoming 30th anniversary of the day you met the love of your life!

How long since you've written her a love letter, Svenn?
Women adore hand written love letters....well, I do anyway...
CONGRATULATIONS...... 
Love to you both,

For starters, I have to agree with Jackie - there is NOTHING like a love letter to make me blush and feel so.....so..... well...... the women know what i'm talking about!!

I'd go with the pearls. Beautiful pearls and a loveletter on the day of the symposium after you tell her how much she means to you.
*SIGH* 
Such a lovely idea you have Svenn,

Neat anniversary Svenn and believe me, when Bente gets word of this thread, you're half way home...
Make Chuck shell out for a nice dinner. Not sure where to dump him though.
Have some fun Svenn.

Promise her in a love letter at the Symposium and with flowers that you will never never ever invite Chuck to your home again.
That ought to do it.

I've heard that different years are celebrated with different things....Silver, gold, etc.
I don't know what particular item corresponds with the number of years that you guys have been together.
Just fail safe and make a gift of wood.

I think Helen has a great idea. Letting the people at the symposium know the importance of a good supporter would also speak to the CH side of the relationship without demeaning it. I think it actually strengthens it. To many are not willing to stick it out.
