<p>mootie-
Maybe that’s where we got it from. WOR. Great radio station!</p>
<p>weenie, I think you were very foresightful to get married in February. It’s a month sadly in need of celebrations. Around here we have my DH’s birthday on the 1st, then we look forward to Valentine’s Day (the chocolate holiday). I think I’ll eat some chocolate right now in your honor! (don’t worry, it’s after breakfast.)</p>
<p>Hmm, where did I stash those dark chocolate M & Ms?</p>

<p>My parents got married on George Washington’s birthdays so it would always be a holiday. Little did they know they’d get done in by the Monday holiday law, but at least it’s still easy for me to remember.</p>
<p>We got married the day after my husband’s birthday and two days after Thanksgiving. It gets a bit hectic here in late November, but at least after 25 years my husband no longer expects a birthday turkey as well as a Thanksgiving turkey…it took awhile, but he’s finally trained to accept leftovers (turkey, that is :eek:)!</p>
<p>I am buying a round!!! We got married in NYS. We met in June and got married in February (he had taken a job in Boston and I wanted to move with him) and lived happily ever after! My wedding “gown” cost $39 (bought on clearance) and we got married in my parents’ lovely Victorian home. How 'bout that???</p>
<p>Tonight we’re breaking open a bottle of Port that we’ve hauled around for 25 years. You’ll all be there with me in spirit!</p>
<p>Hey, my 25th is in June. We also got married in my Mom’s house. i think I spent 60 on my dress, so you beat me there.</p>
<p>But this past Sunday was our 30th “together” anniversary, which we actually observe more seriously than the other. So I’ll get the next round!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>We appreciate the thought, weenie, but you don’t <em>really</em> want us all there in spirit, do you? Too much baggage! :eek: :D</p>
<p>^ Ha. On a 25-year marriage that’s probably the least of the baggage. ;)</p>
<p>Burnthis, theoretically older son could tutor, he’s never gotten less than an A+ in Latin, but he’s got better things to do. Still he’s good when everyone else is stumped by a translation.</p>
<p>How come my husband isn’t the lawyer for a rock band? :)</p>
<p>Congrats to all you long-married. In fact, the Alley will be sponsoring a vow renewal bacchanalia come spring. Didn’t we tell you? You bring all your <em>baggage</em> and the lucky couple wins a trip? We throw the contents of your garage at you as you depart. Your children promise to treat your house well when you go. </p>
<p>We are still in the planning stages, more as the plans develop. Perhaps the trip will be to…Burning Man anyone?</p>
<p>;)</p>
<p>weenie, A most happy and wonderful 25th anniversary to you! What a wonderful milestone! Many more! </p>
<p>And LOL, A dear cousin of mine went to Fairly Ridiculous … today he is More than Fairly Happy with His Life!</p>
<p>Anniversaries… we were married on July 8, 1978 (7/8/78), so that means we’ve been married … I can’t count that high. Oh well, at least WashMom’s eyes are getting as old as I am…</p>
<p>Congrats on the first quarter-century, and best wishes on being named on Paul Harvey’s program some day.</p>
<p>congrats mootie and TSFH, it is really cold on the east coast today so bundle up.</p>
<p>Weenie, Happy 25th to you and H and to all the others approaching 25 and even washdad who is breathing on 30, hey, I’ll throw back one with you too.</p>
<p>Mezzo,
just curious… is there ever a time when h’s bday or the anniversary actually falls on thanksgiving so that you can just have one big dinner (can ya tell I hate doing dishes)?</p>
<p>Vow renewal script in the Alley:</p>
<p>“Do you… yadda yadda?”
“Whatev.”</p>
<p>My little anniversary snippet is that we got married at a restaurant. I highly recommend it, as you will always know where to go for your anniversary!</p>
<p>I chose our wedding date of October 10th because I figured, how hard would it be to remember 10/10? But, ulterior motive alert, I also chose it because it was the day after John Lennon’s birthday (my favorite Beatle) – didn’t tell my husband, the avowed Beatle-basher, that part. Hah, gotcha!</p>
<p>oh weenie- you have made my day! You too married “quickly”. I met my H in Jan (on a Fri the 13th no less) and we married in July (on a Sunday-- 2 days after Fri the 13th). That was in 1984-- so we are into our 23rd yr. Did I mention DH met my parents in April… on Fri the 13th? I didn’t know there were 3 Fri the 13ths in 1 year…but there were that year!</p>
<p>Stealing a line from my father in law…</p>
<p>“Ahhhh…24 years…2 of the best years of my life…”</p>
<p>BTW I am notorious, NOTORIOUS for forgetting the anniversary–even accepting beautiful gifts with NO clue. “Oh! Look what he bought me because he simply adores me!” It’s a marvel being the loveable cheers, I tell you what.</p>
<p>cheers–men are supposed to forget! Women remember! Get it straight.</p>
<p>My DH remembers if I remind him, which I have learned to do. 
It was only recently that he learned one can purchase flowers at Kroger. “They have a flower department?” Yes, you big lummock, you don’t even need an appointment, now get your wife some once in a while! Sigh. How did we last this long? :D</p>
<p>Belated congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Weenie! I tried to post my congrats yesterday, but only half of my 2-paragraph post showed up, and the rest went into cyberspace. Don’t know why. One of the Wookies ate it, perhaps.</p>
<p>So, here’s to today, and 25 more years of wedded bliss! Woohoo!</p>
<p>Three SA patrons lift up their heads from the bar. One kicks the side of the bar with her Manolo Blahnik alligator boot, another slaps the counter with her open hand, and the third raises her glass and slides slowly off of her barstool, mumbling, “I’ll drink tuh-that!” Someone tosses a basket of Cheetos from the orange booth…</p>
<p>That’s as good as it gets here in SA, Weenie, but it doesn’t mean that we’re not happy! :D</p>
<p>The announcement of TSFH’s acceptance at Fairleigh Dickinson @ Florham has sent the marmots into an ecstatic dance of celebration…or, it could be mating season. Either way, they are happy, and so are we. </p>
<p>OMIGOD – a commercial announcement for some slacker investment company just possessed my beloved iMac! ***??! The only other screen I had open was a website for expensive shoes. Do I have a bugg on my slugg, or is the Alley being haunted? :eek:</p>
