Today is our 32 or 8 th wedding anniversary. Weee we’re off to Italy Monday:eek:
Congrats. An old friend of mine’s daughter was born in 2000 and having her 5th birthday today.
My son is celebrating the 7th anniversary of having proposed to his wife.
In normal years, do you celebrate it on the first day of March, or the last day of February?
The opera composer Gioachino Rossini was born in 1792, and is only 57 today.
And Dinah Shore, born in 1916, is 26 today.
I was due 56 years ago today, but I solved that problem by hanging on for a few more days. Had I been born on that due date, I would not technically be able to legally vote until 2036, or be able to drink any and all alcoholic beverages until 2048.
Don’t stay up till 25 or 6 to 4.
Tedious quibble: “Annual” means “yearly,” not “till the next same date”. Any leap-day festivity calls for double the fun. Mark the nth year of life, marriage, or whatever on 28 Feb or 1 Mar; when 29 Feb pops up again, party hearty! 28 Feb should be a general holiday anyway, preferably with slaves and owners trading places - that’s traditional. For added fun, start 29 Feb on one side of the international date line, then cross the line to give yourself a 48-hour day.
Hmm. Well, the eighth anniversary is bronze, and the 32nd is conveyances. I’d go with 32, but then you might get the equivalent of what’s behind Door #1: a goat cart.
So, you only have to buy a present and go out to dinner every four years?

A local TV station interviewed the parents of our first Leap Year baby, who was born about a half hour after midnight. Her father said, “We’ll let her decide how she wants to celebrate.” (Probably sleep deprived already, and uncomfortable on camera.)
Both:cool:
Sometimes on Feb. 28 and sometimes on March 1. What you do is take the exact hour of your birth, and add 365 1/4 days to that, each year until the next leap year. That brings you to Feb. 28 in some years and March 1 in some years.
Master Cecil Himself discusses in detail, with some complete worked-out examples:
When do leap-day babies celebrate their birthdays?, February 9, 1996.
Turns out, even if you are a non-leap-day baby, if you compute your exact birthday this way, it can come out on different days in different years. So there!
My first husband was a leap day baby - he didn’t really celebrate it other than when it was actually a leap year. He jokes he was a SSN nuke kindergardener =) [he was on the old USS Spadefish, may she rust in peace]
Update: They had anticipated a Down Syndrome baby due to ultrasound results; she doesn’t appear to have it but something else is definitely wrong with her. She was in the NICU, with an NG tube and heart monitor, and a mutual friend messaged me on Facebook and told me that she was flown to a nearby university hospital earlier today. 
I would change my plans and go somewhere else than Italy. It’s at level 3 for Coronavirus.
