Not quite the same level as the Eiffel Tower thing, but I have a mildly similar story.

We got married about 10 days before my wife's birthday. At some point prior to our first anniversary my wife explained to me in no uncertain terms that our anniversary and her birthday are separate events and should be treated as such -- no combined gift to cover both days.
This year we celebrated our 15th anniversary. In the weeks leading up to this, I asked her what she wanted for her birthday. She told me she wanted diamond earrings. I must have balked because she quickly said that with both our anniversary and her birthday so close together, I could just get her the one gift to cover both. I said, "No, I can't. I learned this already. I'm not allowed to do that."
As we sat at the restaurant, celebrating our anniversary, I handed her a jewelry box. She opened it to find a single diamond earring. When she looked at me, not understanding why there was only one, I told her, "You'll get the other one on your birthday."
