At least you remember the date I have it down to a general period of somewhere in the first half of every year.

Usually my wife or myself realize it's our anniversary a few hours before the night is over.

Happy anniversary.

This.

We try to be nice to each other most days so there is not as much pressure on the Hallmark Holidays.

By the way, not much clearance on the rear tire to the body. How does that work?

22nd was also my anniversary. Wife had to work though. I got off easy. Helps to not usually be around for your anniversary, wife becomes acclimated to not doing special things.

we do every day too, but we don't get out much because of work, kids, cars so we make it a point to go out even if the kids go with us.

rear is coil overs, and they are set low to my auto-x tire height. will crank up for drags, car sits where i want it to squat to at launch. i'll have some trial and error to figure out starting height. might involve a parking lot, camera, and some launches to see where to set without going too heigh or low. i got the shortest slicks i could find(budget can't afford brand new 22-24" tires so $100 was my cap for CL searching, got 26"). if shorter ones come along i can swap them out.

Happy anniversary. Mine's 3/31. Have no idea what year.

My mom normally reminds us on our anniversary. This year all of us forgot. But we have a wonderful marriage, and don't really do hallmark holidays. Now christmas on the other hand. ...

Happy Anniversary.

My wife had our anniversary engraved into my ring as though I am some kind of dolt who can't remember when it is.

Happy anniversary!

I usually don't have a problem remembering mine.

This year will be number 30 so we will probably plan something special.

I chose Halloween for that reason.

I don't think of it as a Hallmark holiday. Hallmark holidays are stuff like secretaries day and grandparents day and such. I think your wedding anniversary should be a day you celebrate. You chose someone, voluntarily. Your birthday is just a happy accident.

Ours was Aug 17, and we didn't even go out to dinner this year. Too many things going on around the house to take the time. Guess the 47th anniversary isn't that important.

7/7/07 for the etifosi's.

Independence day fireworks BEFORE to remind me and only one number to remember.

2nd smartest thing I ever did.

I have three anniversaries. Number one is when mrs. dx and myself got married in front of our pastor. Number two was our actual ceremony and number three was the wrong date our pastor put on our marriage certificate. I have all three written down on a piece of paper and can give a card/flowers on any of the three
