Today is our 26th Wedding Anniversary.
Now I've looked through all the lists of anniversary types - Traditional, British, American, Modern but cannot find a 'thing' that is associated with 26. I'm sure someone like a department store could suggest one - leaf blower anniversary maybe, or perhaps the waffle iron anniversary.
In the absence of anything to guide me I have nominated it, the 26th anniversary, as the oat anniversary.
That, by association, puts it as the porridge anniversary.
Let's just say it is warming, sustaining and symbolic of having been through times both lumpy and smooth.
Sounds like a winning recipe to me!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations you guys!
I hope you had a splendid wonderful day remembering all the years you've been together and looking forward to the many many more to come!
Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!

ReplyDelete26?
ReplyDeleteIs that in human years?!? Dang! Over here, us folks from the US are lucky if we get to seven years!
Now, as for what's "typical" for the 26th....
Hmmmm....
Let's confer with Margerette on this, shall we?
Silver on the 25th
gold on the 50th
I think it's wine and dancing till the cows come home then a romantic drive to some exotic place not too far away, but, far enough t'have to stay overnight. A bed'n'breakfast, say, Sydney.
(I know that's a HECKOVA drive, but, folks, I'm in the US and if y'didn't know this, there are only two places in Australia. One is Sydney, the other is that big rock in the dessert, and, fer sure, they don't have a bed'n'breakfast near that big rock)
Hey, have a great one, y'all. Use the time between now and then to find out what 27 is, eh?
riseoutofme beat me too it: any wild oats in your crop?

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Lol to the wild oat comment! I am coming up on 19 yrs in a couple of weeks! Not sure if there is any significant tradition with that number either... it will probably come and go with little fanfare. Sorta like Oatmeal! lol
