I have previously theorized that the reason why young, urban, professional types marry is to rid ourselves of the social nervousness that leads us to order chicken ceasar salad by securing ourselves dinner partners who are obligated to put up with our foibles, particularly our more foolish ones. A date can leave you for any reason at any time, and is consequently less likely to put up with nonsense regarding the appropriate degree of doneness for steak, and the One Thing that may or may not be circulating on a cart in a different part of the room that you really wanted when you agreed to go for dim sum. A spouse, by comparison, would have to fill out forms and hire a lawyer to be rid of you, and it takes a lot of dim sum drama to make that look like an attractive option.

What I'm leading up to here is this:
Happy Anniversery, [personal profile] danceboy. I'm glad you have my back (as well as my dumplings), and I hope we get approximately infinity more years.

happy anniversary! so are you saying that if I actually enjoy ordering chicken caesar salad, I might as well just not bother getting married?

Happy anniversary!

(And now the snarky "maybe your husband should grow a backbone" comment on yesterday's post makes much more sense. :grin: )

Happy Anniversary and congratulations...

Is this year one for you guys? Or one of many?

This is year four - the "books, flowers and fruit" anniversary. I am told that the flower associated with this year is the geranium (no word on whether they mean a true geranium or a pelargonium), and that a more contemporary theme would be electrical appliances (also no word on why books, flowers and fruit are so hopelessly old-fashioned that we need a new theme).
