Well, we both did. We were married on April 19th.
I was out of town, but that’s no excuse. Of course, we’ve been pretty stressed with his mom being sick. But, sheesh.
I don’t need to worry, right? Right? [sub] don’t worry, it isn’t a big deal. Oh my. I am worried…[/sub]
He’s working today (24 hours) so I’ll go get him a little something, then tell him we both forgot when he calls tonight. It will be ok.
That happened to me and my hubby on our 2nd anniversary. We giggled about it when we realized what we did!
When my best friend was married, my mother painted a brick up with their wedding date on it.
Yep, a regular old building brick. She is a good artist and it has flowers, and vines and stuff painted on it. Plus their anniversary date. It now sits on their mantle.
I think the brick was supposed to stand for strength, solidarity, union whatever. And most of all, it was just for fun. It may be the only wedding gift they have for the rest of their lives.
My friends still check the brick to double check the date (I wish I had one). I think it was a great idea on my Moms part.
Your anniversary date is just what you make of it. If you celebrate your marriage every day, you don’t need to feel guilty or bad because you missed the exact date you said your vows.
Thank you! Now I feel better, because we do that. He came home this morning and said just about the same thing.
My ex-wife and I did it one year. We were sitting around talking that night and something in the conversation made me think, “Musn’t forget our anniversary, it’s coming up soon.” And then I realised it was that very day. Afterwards we used to laugh about how lucky it was that we both forgot it.
