Da Yoopers have a song just for an event like this.

Da Anniversary Song, 3:34
View: https://youtu.be/tYHNUAqjBrQ


(FEMALE VOCAL)
1. HONEY DO YOU REMEMBER (huh?)
WHAT DAY IT IS TODAY (Friday.)
REMEMBER THAT SPECIAL OCCASION
ON THAT BEAUTIFUL MORNING IN MAY (Trout season?)
YOU WORE A RENTED TUXEDO
WE HAD CHAMPAGNE ON ICE (No beer?)
BOTH OF OUR FAMILIES WERE GATHERED
AND EVERYONE ACTED SO NICE

(MALE VOCAL)
Oooooh!
2. YOUR UNCLE ERNIE'S FUNERAL
THAT'S A PARTY I'LL NEVER FORGET
THAT'S WHEN YOU GOT SICK ON THAT KESSLERS
AND THOSE CUDIGHIS THAT YOU ET
YOU SPENT THE NIGHT IN THE BATHROOM
YOU MISSED ALL THE FUN THAT WE HAD
WE TOOK UNCLE ERNIE TO TOWN FOR LAST CALL
THEN WE SENT HIM HOME IN A CAB (and boy was your aunt wild!)

CHORUS: (FEMALE VOCAL)
THE OLDER YOU GET THE MORE YOU FORGET
TO REMEMBER WHAT YOU SHOULD RECALL
YOU FILL IN THE BLANKS IN YOUR MEMORY WITH THINGS
THAT MAY NOT HAVE HAPPENED AT ALL
YOU NEVER REMEMBER MY BIRTHDAY (huh?)
BUT YOU KNOW WHEN DEER SEASON COMES (Oh yeah!)
YOU OTTA BE SHOT 'CAUSE I KNOW YOU FORGOT
IT'S OUR ANNIVERSARY YOU BUM

3. REMEMBER THE DAY WE WERE MARRIED (uh-uh!)
DON'T TELL ME THAT YOU FORGOT (uh-huh!)
HOW I WALKED DOWN THE AISLE WITH MY DADDY
AND MY BOUQUET OF FORGOT-ME-NOTS (and a shotgun)
REMEMBER THAT BEAUTIFUL MOMENT
WHEN YOU LOOKED DEEP INTO MY EYES (aaa!)
YOU SLIPPED THE RING ON MY FINGER
AND EVERYONE STARTED TO CRY

(MALE VOCAL)
4. THAT'S WHEN SOMEBODY RIPPED ONE
I THINK IT WAS YOUR UNCLE SLIM
IT ECHOED SO LOUD IN THE RAFTERS
I THOUGHT THE WHOLE CHURCH WOULD CAVE IN
THEN AS THE GAS STARTED SPREADING
YOUR MOTHER PASSED OUT ON THE FLOOR
THE OLD BAGS WERE SCREAMING AND FAINTING
THE CROWD MADE A DASH FOR THE DOOR (including me and your brothers and dad)
(REPEAT CHORUS)

Wow, 62 years! I guess you're entitled to a little...very little...memory loss :-)

We just celebrated our 40th, and I thought that was something, but wow, 62!! Congratulations!

Had a cousin that made it almost to 70 and a couple in the same town made it to 78. So it can be done but not often. My grt aunt/uncle made it to 60 in 1952, something almost unheard of in those days. Today, my two brothers and I are over 60 and we have several cousins that have done the same. People really are living longer.

WOW that's great. Congratulations!

But I'd be sure to count the kitchen knives (to see if one is missing) and maybe sleep with one eye open tonight :)

Just kidding. Happy anniversiary!

Missed my wife's Birthday two year's in a row, have not missed one since. And I will be doing our 37 Year Anniversary this May 11th Married in 1985. Great Job, some of us older folks still believe in sickness and health, and believe me it works both ways... She is still my Peas and Carrots!!!

Happy Anniversary, Troke!!

RELIC and I BOTH missed ours Labor Day Weekend.

We BOTH granted absolution when we BOTH had to figure out where we WERE and what we DID on The Day. Turns out we were adjusting my bed at home as the Hosp had discharged me the day before...

My wife forgets out wedding anniversary 3 times out of 4 (for the last 32 years). Even if the kids call and remind her a week ahead, and I added it to her iphone calendar to warn her 3 days ahead.

I think it's Freudian. But, her apologies always work out pretty well for me! And I always write it down so when I forget something, I have some ammunition for the "discussion" that follows.

Sorry to think that such long-term marriages are becoming fewer and fewer.

50 percent of all new marriages now end up in divorce court.

80 Percent of these divorces are initiated by women. Second time marriages have an even higher divorce rate.

OK bw & you too troke

My best advice is you two shouldn't hang out. Based on the #1, $2 posts here I can see no good coming of letting you two have play dates; methinks there's a mischievous thread in both your characters and the outcome of collaboration could be bad - probably for you two. I'm completely innocent and uninvolved. Just want to get that out there in case the ladies in question get testy.

If she can put up with you for that long, missing a date is small taters. :D

Here we start celebrating the month before and carry on till the month after. That gives us wiggle room :D Birthdays too, BTW.

Hubby forgot our anniversary one year. I think it was our 37th. I was determined to stay quiet and see when he remembered. It was the next day. I came home to beautiful flowers! Probably the 2nd time he ever bought me flowers!

I just thought it was funny he forgot. I am not NEAR as bitchy as I was the first who knows how many years, LOL!

Just celebrated my 21st anniversary… bought my wife a new house…
Forgetting important anniversaries and birthdays is easier to cover for when you have a really big screwup… like that time I was 3 states away working when she decided (without my input or consent) to have our third child 5 weeks early. After that event I feel like I Now get a temporary reprieve when I make minor errors in memory… as long as it’s followed by sufficient groveling

As long as RELIC's Angel wings are working, we tend to agree with you.

BUT...
On the OFF chance one of her wings is out of kilter, well, she hops on her broom and things keep right on going

If I wake up in the morning remembering who and where I am, get out of bed without assistance and recognize the lady in the kitchen as my wife, I know it is the beginning of a good day.

DW took it in stride and made my favorite pizza. Only problem, the glass shards in the crust were a bit difficult to eat around.

First Wow! Congratulations! That's quite an achievement!

Second- on a funny note- the first time I made pizza for Mike when we were dating, I dropped the minced garlic jar. I could have sworn none of the shards made it into the actual pizza. About 3 bites in Mike bit down on something hard. We looked at each other :eek::eek: and he pulls a shard of glass from his mouth! Luckily he still proposed....... ;)
