Funny you should ask! Basically, two weeks after we had gotten engaged, my now DH was told by his navy recruiter (DH had a navy scholarship for his last couple years of med school) that "things would be better if he was married...the sooner the better." I just about fell over when he told me her advice and said NO WAY...after all, I'd barely gotten used to the idea of being engaged! I somehow got convinced that it'd be so cute and romantic to elope, and so we did...to Vegas...with our dogs...at the drivethru...with a bunch of Japanese tourists videotaping us! We agreed that since we didn't want our family and friends bailing on our ceremony, we'd keep it our own little secret, and not really consider it our official wedding until we had our official ceremony. We had that almost a year later. The exact date fell on a weekday, so that didn't work. Our parents and siblings knew about the elopement, but no one else did. Fast forward ten years, and DH thought it was stupid to deny us out of a year of legal matrimony just because most other people didn't know about our Vegas escapade. So he suggested celebrating our 10th last year instead of waiting until our tenth this year. I was all for it, since he'd promised me a new ring for "our tenth"!
But after celebrating May 5th as our anniversary for 9 years, it didn't seem right to just dump the date in favor of May 24th! So we agreed to celebrate on both. There's your very long answer!
So yes, I totally think after eleven years, you can acquire a new anniversary! Just don't renew your vows on the same date!
And thanks for your sweet compliment!![]()
Holy moly lady!!! I love it. Congratulations on all of your goodies and Happy Mother's Day, Happy Anniversary and anything else I may have missed!![]()
