That’s what I puzzled over early this morning when I sat down with my first cup of coffee. It is October. It is early October. I’m getting ready to leave for a visit to the United States. I’ve ticked off all the boxes on my to-do list: Dog has been groomed; Car has been inspected; Prescription filled; Dollars bought; Work projects completed.
What is it? It niggles me.
OH I KNOW!!!
October 4th is our wedding anniversary. But of course.
The morning ticked on and when AP awoke I suggested that we go out for lunch today. He was playing Words With Friends on his iPhone and he casually said, “Sure.”
So I said, “You know it’s our wedding anniversary, don’t you?”
He gasped. “Oh YOU. You remembered but I forgot.”
“Nope.” I piped up. ” I forgot too. I just remembered this morning and I didn’t buy you a card so don’t buy me anything. Let’s just go out for lunch together, OK?”
“OK” — he says to me. And we smile. We smile because almost every year we seem to forget that it’s our anniversary until the very last moment. We both do it and so neither of us can be offended and so we’re not.
I like to think it’s because every day of our lives together is just one big celebration.
Yeah. That’s it.

Yeah, that’s it. I remember your wedding as if it were yesterday, except I never remember the anniversary. October 4 — got it! Have a delectable day!
I am so happy that you and Tim were able to come to our wedding.
Same here.
🙂 I thought you might resonate with my post.
What sweetness. Happy anniversary, you two. I agree, remembering, not remembering, not so important. All days are good (well, most!), every day is a celebration.
Yes – that’s just it. The actual wedding day isn’t as important as the day-in-and-day-out of building a life together.
Who needs more than a big hug and lunch anyway?
Well — we are happy with just that. In fact, we had a nice lunch at a country pub and Pickles came too.
I love wedding photos with the bride and groom holding hands as if to say, ‘This person is my anchor!’ (And I mean that in a good way ;0)
🙂 We were both so nervous that day. But when the ceremony was over — oh the relief!
I am like that with anniversaries.Of anything.The shared pleasures and trials are what make up a marriage.So…here’s to another year of you two almost not remembering your wedding day! 🙂
I’m glad we’re not the only people who do this.
Ah, so sweet. One of the best weddings I’ve been to, and I love that dress. Happy Anniversary!!!!!
