Maybe I'm just now paying attention (since my and H's 12 year anniversary is this month), but it seems to me that there are a plethora of October anniversaries on the board. Is this some kind of marital horoscope for infidelity??? Should I advise friends and kids to steer clear of this month for wedding planning? <P>We were married in beautiful Northern California. Glorius fall day. Heart-breakingly handsome H. A few glitches - Giants were in the playoffs for the first time in eons, and ALL the luxury cars in the city(including the limo we had reserved way in advance) were all rented out! "Could we substitute a minivan?!" We laughed it off we were so in love. Ahh...the stuff memories are made of...<P>Anyone else want to get sentimental with me?

Hey Starpony,<P>You didn't by any chance get married two years ago, did you? I watched the playoffs on my honeymoon in Monterey!!! (Plus, the anniversary of our meeting was 10/1.) Anniversary of disclosure, October also!!! <P><P>------------------<BR>RobinAnn<P>*********<P>Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape!

No Robin Ann - our wedding coincided with the 87 playoffs, but I have similar stories. About half-way through the reception I had to ask that the bar TV be turned off so that we girls would have some guys to dance with! (No-H was not one of those crowded around the set!)

Ours is the 12th. It was to be outside and I'll NEVER forget how worried I was about the weather.<P>I don't know if I've ever seen - before or since a more perfect day. The sun was shining, the sky the most gorgeous blue and the weather mild. Gives me goosebumps still.<P>Happy anniversary to my October buddies!<P>Lori

We were married on October 17th, a date which was totally ingnored by my H two and three years ago and I did not see it as a sign! DUH! Last year, even tho the Peruvian Princess was in the picture, he recognized the date with diamond earrings. Must have been feeling guilty! This year he will be on the road (in the air) but I think it will be noted in some way by both of us. I am having the t-shirt he soloed in 19 years ago framed for him.<P>

My anniversary is October 12th. We'll be married 8 years.<P>I have always loved the Fall, maybe since my B-day is the 16th. It was a beautiful day.

Tommorrow is our 16th. My w has to work to 11:30 pm tommorrow. She said earlier this week during a fight that she didn't want to celebrate this year.<P>After she said somethings yesterday, I'm not sure I want to either.<P>I guess I'll send her some flowers at work.<P>Best wishes to everybody else.

pilot's wife:<P>Yeah, we BOTH forgot our anniversary last year. Usually I'm the only one who does. <P>What a wake-up call. Scared us both, I think.<P>This year, we made sure not to. We went away for the weekend, I bought H the last installment of his electric bass; he got me some beautiful jewelry.

My anniversary is October 29th, and it too was the most glorious October day you could ask for. Better than any June day could have been. It had snowed for Halloween the year before (93), and everyone was teasing me that it would snow for my wedding and no one would be able to make it!<P>We'll be married 5 years this year, and are planning to go away, but as of today, I'm not even sleeping in the same room as him.<P>Maybe there is something to be said for October weddings??

tomorrow would be my 11th anniversary...i signed my divorce petition today...<BR>they should have an icon for crying<P>------------------<BR>Kellie<BR>Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough<P>

Well my anniversary is tommorow...would be my 23rd...funny and the Yankees are in the play offs again!!!! During my reception the Yankees were playing could have been the world series but they were playing against a California team (???) name/team escapes me and we were Yankee fans. Well guess where we took our honeymoon....16 days in California....needless to say we could not root for the Yankees to loud!!! Ah memories. <P>Kathy

We have two October anniversaries. We started dating on October 2nd 13 years ago. We were married on October 12th 8 years ago (the dreaded 7yr itch). I got my H a gift today. I don't expect anything from him. <P>It rained in the morning, but the weather was beautiful in the afternoon for the ceremony. I thought it was a sign. We had the funnest reception ever. It was a great party. <P>The wedding itself was a Quaker service, where guests stand up and share thoughts during the service. David's uncle stood up and talked about his parents (David's grandparents) who had just celebrated their 50th anniversary. He said that their advice was to always build each other up instead of tearing each other down. So for at least the next 50 years, he told us, "build each other up!" I guess we forgot.<P>God how I wish Grandad was still alive. Somehow I feel like none of this would have happened if he hadn't died a few years back. It's like David lost his compass in life.
