Last November was 50th anniversary of our first date.
As for our “romantic” wedding date (several years later) it was selected for those romantic ideas of: husband’s vacation (set by his employer closing for two weeks ), no taxes due that month (am an accountant), the venue our mothers wanted was available, and the Interfaith chapel at the college my dad taught at, part time, was available.
I did not want a wedding – just take our immediate families and get married at county hall – maybe go for lunch after. I was overruled by husband and our mothers. When all was calmed down a couple of months after the wedding and all (including the two of us) were talking to each other again he agreed that I was right and we should NOT have a big wedding.

We got married on July 03, 2011. I joke I lost my independence a day before Independence Day.

Arlo saw his shadow and got six more weeks of fooling around with Janis.

Here I was thinking Arlo was referring to the anniversary of the strip first being published, but turns out that’s July 29.

Here’s what I want to know: Do they remember their individual anniversaries?
I bet they do.

Wife expresses that he was not a great lover in the most passive-aggressively way possible.

I was married on the very day some nut famously predicted the apocalypse would occur. Turns out marriage is NOT the end of the world.

Much less chance of forgetting your anniversary if your anniversary is also that anniversary. :)

Groundhog Day is the best holiday in my book! No deaths in the family. Almost every other holiday is tainted.
