Five years

[davidn]

It's been four years and 364 (and a half) days since we got married, and we're off to Vermont to have a spa weekend together. It's going to be interesting to see if I can actually have a relaxing weekend away without anybody falling over or setting themselves on fire.

Congratulations to the both of you! Here's to many more!

I hope you both have an excellent time, and that no-one gets set on fire. :P

Bloody hell. Congratulations, and try not to attract any disasters!

I thought that spontaneous combustion was the traditional 5-year anniversary gift? (Well, okay, so it's actually wood or, in the modern US compilation, silverware...)

Well, in any case, congratulations mate. :]

HELP HELP! MY HAIR IS GOING UP IN FLAAAAAAMES!

Oh, where is that bunny when you need him???




.....Couldn't resist something smart-assed :P Hope you're enjoying yourselves! Love to both of you!

See, he needs to hire you to manage these things!

Clearly, the key to relaxing weekend getaways is to pick states that are close enough that you don't have to fly.

(Not that you don't still have to come down to Dust Hill A and hang out with me sometime, of course.)

Congratulations. Just don't try to cook anything and I'm sure you'll be fine.

Taking your post along with Tamakun's about Metroid, and given timezone leanings, does that mean you got married on Samus' 20th?

That is most definitely not the point, though. Congratulations! I really don't know Whitney but I gather from you that she's pretty great, so I feel qualified to officially designate you a Good Couple - yes, I do get sentimental about these things on anniversaries.

I believe, after a hasty Google search and a site full of ads, that the traditional fifth anniversary gift is supposed to be "wood", which is probably the most charming and yet most easily abusable of the lot. The modern one is "silverware" but as I'm sure there are better anniversary presents than knives and forks, the site also has such helpful recommendations for each year as "airline tickets" "cruise" and "beach vacation" - I'm sure "spa weekend" would have been a suggestion if they'd actually been trying.

And just so you know in advance, next year's suggestion is "Candy", "Iron" or "Disney World". You could set up an elaborate celebration in which each all three are presented!

Because I've spent most of this being silly I feel the need to mention again that I really am pleased for the two of you - in general, but a yearly milestone seems as good a time to mention it as any.
