Reason #26 We Should Probably Go On a Date.

GcQ: Hey, when is our anniversary?

HcQ: Is this a trick question?

GcQ: No, seriously. I had to get a new bank card today, and the banker guy suggested I use my anniversary as a pin code.

HcQ: And you couldn't remember it.

GcQ: Mmyeah. But I didn't want the banker guy to know I forgot, so I just wrote down July 22, 2004. But that's not the right day is it.

HcQ: At least you got the right year.

GcQ: (now looking at the framed wedding invitation) Well. Actually, no. Upon further inspection, it seems that we were married in 2003.

HcQ: No, I think it was 2004.

GcQ: The invitation says 2003.

HcQ: We should probably talk more.

And on a completely unrelated note, stop by on Monday.

Big announcement.

On Monday.

-------------------

Edited to add...Yes, this is a true story. We both forgot the date and the year that we were married. However, it is not true that we don't talk. In fact, we talk all the time. And that's probably another post entirely. And no, I won't admit exactly how often we do go out because (a.) you'd probably hate me and (b.) I would no longer be qualified for the prize giveaway, which was the point of writing this to begin with. So, I'll just leave it at that.
Happy weekend.

I know that it's a little dorky, but Roy and I have had a weekly date night for the past 6 years. We don't talk though, just watch movies.

DUDE I just opened my new bank account and when I went to do my online banking thing I used my (new) last name and our anniversary. Otto was impressed that I was so committed to remembering the date. ;)

Hello?! If you had called me, I could have told you when you were married. And I KNOW Nana con Queso knows.

You should totally put that shot of you and HcQ leaving in the car on your blog for your anny...I love that picture! And, I love the Noodle Apartments, so closely located to your wedding festivities.

Sigh. What a great wedding that was. Who cares when it was...it was so great, it's, like, timeless.

My husband forgets our anniversary on purpose. He knows it. He just wants me to think he doesn't so that if in fact he does forget he's got an excuse. ;)

Hilarious :)
My husband and I had conversations like that about when we bought our house within a year or so of buying it, I wonder if we'll end up doing the same with the wedding anniversary in a couple more year. hehehe

ROFL!!

We never forget WHEN we got married but we always forget it and the day comes and goes . We usually remember the day after the fact.

A good reason never to get married on Dec. 23.

I've done that. Someone asked me how many years J and I've been married, and I paused to think about it. Duh.

In Case yall haven't yet.....I can confirm that yall were Married in July of 2003.....because Sister In Law Con Queso was pregnant in your wedding with Niece Con Queso....who was born in October of 03!

This has been a public service announcement from Brother Con Queso!

yeah, i can confirm 2003 as well because I got married in 2004 and it wasn't the same year as you. And I wasn't engaged at your wedding and i got engaged may '04. i forget my anniversary date too. I think it is funny that me and bro con queso know when you got married according to what was going in in our lives at the time. Is that narcissistic or normal? What do you think? your wedding was the one of the most lovely, well-decorated weddings that i have ever seen. so well planned.

Whoah, that was awesomely funny.
For some reason I can hardly remember our anniversary. Strange, because I planned the whole wedding. . .

We married in 2000 - my husband decided it would be easier to remember that way.

Funny. The only reason I can remember the year I got married is because it was the year before I started my current job - how sad is that?

My best friend wrote the wrong year when she filled out the stuff for her wedding invitations. But that's OK. She was pregnant when she got married. I told her that when the kid is older, that they won't know she was preggo when getting married. They can pretend they got married in 2006.
