Anniversaries

[semperfiona]

From the altfriday5:

1. Do you celebrate any romantic anniversaries? If so, which ones?
What dates do they mark (e.g. date you met, date you first had sex, date
you had your commitment ceremony)?

ohari, lavendargrrl and I celebrate the day we met,
December 13, 2002. That date was also pretty much the beginning of our
relationship. I have a soft spot for Christmas Day as an anniversary,
being our first all-three snuggling, and Dec 30 (I'm pretty sure) as
first sex, and Feb 1 of last year when we all moved in together, and so
forth, but Dec 13 is the one we mutually observe. Our first anniversary,
12/13/03, we got matching tattoos of the symbol in the icon, so in a
sense it's also the date of a commitment ceremony.

2. Do you observe any non-romantic anniversaries (i.e., of positive
or negative events that happened in your life)? If so, what do they
commemorate?

Coincidentally, C&T&my anniversary is the day after my wedding
anniversary with Ray (12/12/92), which I usually remember with a shade
of regret during the week prior but do not celebrate.

There are several dates I keep track of for their personal importance
(of which 12/12 is one, and I listed several others above), but I
wouldn't say so much that I observe them. I do usually have some
thoughts on the day about what the day means to me. Such dates also
include 6/26/99, the day I met Jen; 11/11/00, the day I moved out of the
house I lived in with Ray; and 11/14/01, the day my divorce became
final.

3. Do you observe any non-personal anniversaries (i.e. of historical
events, such as VE Day, December 6)? If so, what do they commemorate,
and why do you honour them?

Not really, except for the fact that my move-out date happened to be on
Veteran's/Armistice Day, but that was mostly coincidence; its timing had
far more to do with deer season than historic wars.

4. What event do you think the world should remember annually, that
it doesn't?

I can't think of anything.

5. Have you ever forgotten an important anniversary? What
happened?

No.



The Questioner says: Don't forget your links!

Is the story of how the three of you met up anywhere?

[semperfiona]

Hmm. Probably not. I shall write it soonish.

My son (Erik) was born on 12/12/92! You can remember the day as a birthday if you like! :)

I did find this summary of that weekend.

This tattoo is the reason why we former denizens of the Magic Forest refer to you collectively as "the Triskeles". After all, if we called you "the MorHarriBushes", there would be a lot of talk.

Came here from ohari curious about the relationship. This sounds quite interesting. Sounds like an awesome movie I watched many years ago called "Summer lovers". The British movie review guide called it a soft porn "lemon", but I really enjoyed the movie and thought it's concept to be quite interesting.

So I am curious. If you're comfortable, point me to more descriptions / quirks / unique moments regarding the same...
