Tag: anniversaries

Alas, LJ doesn’t provide an easy way to find anniversaries. But sometimes I do, and when I do, we sing. All together now… this is for the delightful shutterbug93 and her husband Mark, who are celebrating their 11^th anniversary today. Take a deep breath, and…. 1… 2… 3…

(to the tune of the “William Tell Overture”)
Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary
Happy Anniversary, Haaappy Anniversary

Pour a cheerful toast and fill it, Happy Anniversary
But be careful you don’t spill it, Happy Anniversary

Ooooo Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary
Happy Anniversary, Haaappy Anniversary
Ooooo Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary
Happy Anniversary, Haaappy Anniversary

Happy she and happy he, They’re both as happy as can be
Celebrating merrily, their happy anniversary

Ooooo Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary
Happy Anniversary, Haaappy Anniversary
Ooooo Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary
Happy Anniversary, Haaappy Anniversary

We now state emphatically, it’s happy anniversary
Not another day could be, a happy anniversary

Ooooo Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary
Happy Anniversary
Happy (slow)
Happy (slow)
Happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy (fast) Anniversary!!!

(Gioacchino Rossini; arr. William Hanna / Joseph Barbera)

I few years ago saw a post on LJ that suggested an interesting tradition for anniversaries: For each year that you are married, post one thing that you love about your spouse. We were married in 1985, so this year marks year Nº 24:

1. I love that she keeps her head in a crisis.
2. I love that she knows how to calm me down when I start panicking.
3. I love that she helps me think logically when dealing with big ticket
   items or expenses.
4. I love that she knows how to think through situations logically.
5. I love that she is a very loyal friend, going out of her way to help
   others.
6. I love that she is able to express herself very well, and convey
   information the information to others in ways they can understand.
7. I love that she is a very good cook, coming up with creative
   gluten-free dishes.
8. I love that she is willing to put away the laundry.
9. I love that she pulls off very nice parties.
10. I love that she has a good decorating sense.
11. I love that she cleans up nicely 🙂
12. I love that she puts up with my disappearing off to Boardgame
    days and my working on the highway pages.
13. I love the needlecrafting and fabric arts that she does.
14. I love that she knows how to deal with our daughter when I’m getting
    frustrated.
15. I love that she is active in our daughter’s school life.
16. I love that she is willing to deal with family situations I don’t
    want to deal with.
17. I love that she is willing to deal with contractors and repair
    critters.
18. I love that she doesn’t spend too much on quilting and fabric
    supplies :-).
19. I love that she has similar tastes in friends to me.
20. I love that she enjoys going to the theatre with me.
21. I love that she understands that I’m not romantically inclined.
22. I love that she puts up me when I’m dealing with my headaches.
23. I love her compatible music tastes.
24. I love that she’ll take my car in to get serviced, as opposed to saying “It’s your problem. Deal.”

Of course, this list doesn’t include the things I love about her that I can’t post on LiveJournal :-). Maybe next year. You’ll just have to wait and see.

Twenty-four years ago today gf_guruilla and I got married (in Woodland Hills, by Rabbi John Sherwood). Here’s looking forward to at least twenty-four more years…

Allright everyone, let’s gather in front of our 17″ RCA Console color TV to watch “The Hot Piano” episode of the Flintstones, and join Fred, Barney, and the guys in singing a song for jumbach and Dionne on their 2^nd wedding anniversary. All together now… (this is to the tune of the William Tell Overture):
