It is my 26th wedding anniversary today. Although we buy one another gifts on our anniversary, it's not the big event that it is for some people. For one thing, I'm not big on events; for another, my wife forgot the day of our very first wedding anniversary - I had to get the certificate out to prove that it was the 14th, while she had thought we were married on my birthday, two days later. Even now, we quarreled about this one, as my wife insists that this is our 25th wedding anniversary, when it is actually our 26th, given that we were married in August of 2000. When you get past ten, you've run out of fingers, I guess. Don't misunderstand; our marriage is important - it's the dates we argue about.

And I though we were odd. You and your wife sound a bit like me and hubby. We get each other cards but can't remember what day to give them to each other. We've been married for longer than 26 years but darned if I know by how much.
; )
Happy anniversary to you and Mrs Ken.

We solved the problem as nice people throw us a party every year on Halloween. The quest is who got tricked and who got treated.

And today, it is your birthday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, @Ken Anderson ! Do you celebrate both the birthday and the anniversary together or on separate days ?

Bobby’s birth day and mine are both on the 11th, but one month apart, so we usually pick a day somewhere in the middle and have a birthday dinner to celebrate both of our birthdays.
Our anniversary is in November, so we mostly go to the Mexican restaurant somewhere near our actual day, depending on the weather at that time of year.
