I did the math, and next week Pop-of-Andrew and I will have been married for over half of his life. (I married a younger man… Mine comes next year…)
He is better than I am about remembering the non official anniversaries (date of our first kiss, etc.) This is a rare opportunity for me to surprise him.
I’ve been calling it DH’s ‘tipping point’ for lack of a better term. I could call it “Mine!!” day & decorate with the seagulls from Finding Nemo, but I’m not entirely happy with that idea.
If you’ve been married that long, I expect that whatever the event is called, it will include the traditional Airing of Grievances.
More seriously, when I reached that point with my wife (well, the point of knowing her more than half my life, we haven’t quite reached it with time married), I just called it “good start” day. She appreciated that.
Well in Greek it would be a hemi-anniversary. This would be extra appropriate if you husband has a high horsepower Dodge product.
In Latin you would have many choices semisos or dimidietas are my favorites.
No matter what you call it I hope this will be your happiest anniversary yet, at least until next years.
Congratulations!
