This Monday, my husband and I will celebrate thirteen years of wedded bliss.
13 years of love and happiness.
13 years of friendship.
13 years of bickering about what to watch on tv and how to pronounce words like "guffaw"...
Aloha Friday Questions!
1. How many years have you been married?
2. Would you like to join my movement to start a new tradition of having a Still Married Shower after you've been married for 15 years? Because I need new stuff...
3. The traditional 13th wedding anniversary gift is LACE. What kind of crap is that? Shouldn't it be rubies or something?
Kailani would like to get me a new
blender from my Still Married registry.

1. 17 years
2. YES
3. lace... to wrap your diamonds in?
It'll be 14 years Wednesday.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
There are supposed to be gifts? TOM!!! Jenni says there are supposed to be gifts!!!
You're both lucky. 13 is a magically good number too!
13 years! COngrats! We celebrated 11 this year! Keep up all the things that keep you happy!
I've been married 4 and a half years, but we've been together for eight years.
You should definitely start some kind of anniversary shower!
I think those anniversary gifts are so weird. Some are like wood or tin foil. ???
Happy Anniversary! :)
We just celebrated our 12th anniversary. I'm going to pass on the "still married" shower because somehow the 50% divorce rate seems to not apply to my circle of friends (at least not yet). Every single one of them is still married, so that would be a lot of gifts to have to buy. Lace? That is pretty funny! What are you supposed to buy the guy?
Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary!
1. We've been married for 9 years, and will celebrate 10 in March.
2. Absolutely! I never had a shower!
3. I agree with another commenter... lace to wrap your diamonds in. :-)
Next week will be 24 years for me and I'm hoping for some new appliances. You thought laced was sad :)

We've been married for 26 years. I definitely need some new stuff so I'm all in for the Still Married Shower. I could use some new towels, a blender (for some reason they burn out fast when you only use them for Maragaritas)
Rubies, Diamonds, Pearls, Vacations to exotic locales, not lace.
1) Almost 6
2) YES! Fantastic idea!!
3) I need no doily's. What else can one do with lace?? I think you should create a new item!!
1. It's either 12 ot 13, I'm not sure as we don't celebrate our anniversary.
2. Sure, because I didn't have a shower to begin with.
3. If it's handmade Belgium lace, and it happens to be in a beautiful cocktail dress, that'd be nice.
Happy anniversary!
I've been married 5 years and another shower in 10 years sounds great. So do rubies. :)
Happy Anniversary!!! We have been married 18.5 years. OMGosh, yes!!! A 15 year wedding shower would be the best and totally needed.
1 - We've been married just 3 years!
2 - I think that's an awesome idea - lol
3 - Could the rubies be attached to the lace somehow? Tell your hubby to get creative!
1. It will be 16 years next month. I had to do the math because I forgot.
2. Heck yeah! I could do with some new small appliances, the ones from the wedding gifts are starting to fail.
3. I like rubies
Happy Anniversary! Wahoo!!!!
1. 18 yrs (mine's porcelain. Yeah, right)
2. Oh, yes please. I would love to be on that registry!
3. I'm all about diamonds & trips & fast cars, baby!
almost 7 years. and are you kidding me? that is an awesome idea! with so many divorces, it is such an accomplishment to make it 15 years.
congrats on 13.
Happy Happy Wedding Bliss!
Married 14 1/2 years
A shower would be awesome. I need a baby one first- I'd love free diapers right about now! Ha, Ha.
Lace? My husband wouldn't mind something a little lacy. For me of course.
Jen
Creative and Curious Kids!
Happy anniversary!!! What's up with lace being the gift?? I think it should just be diamonds every year, with the diamond getting larger with every anniversary.
And yeah I second the shower idea...all the stuff we got from our wedding 7 years ago needs to be replaced!
24 years and my house and everything in it is breaking and falling apart so amen to your shower idea!
1. 14 years
2. Yes! See above - I am registered at ...
3. Maybe a nice lace nightie? With a diamond chaser?
We have been married for 7 years and yes, I totally agree that people should give us Still Married Gifts. I need new things too.
We been married 6 yrs but together almost 9. I TOTALLY agree with the movement and will join whole heartedly! I need stuff too! Probably better for the guys that the 13th is lace but I think you misread....it says rubies wrapped in pretty package with lace!
1. 4 years
2. I'm totally down with the 15 year shower. Can we also have a 5 year one?
3. Lace? What crap.
Aww... we had 11 years of wedded bliss. LOL....
Oh how the time has flown by.
Happy Anniversary!
We've been married for 7 years. Dude, I feel like I deserve an award or something.
Lace sucks. How about diamonds? They always work for me.
Congrats!
Yeah--i think wrapping some jewels in lace is a good idea!
3 years this past May! We are still in the honeymoon stage with our 2 babies (2 years old and 6 months old) I hope to never get out of the honeymoon stage :)
I love that you are celebrating LACE. Get him a hankie! LOL
Happy anniversary & congrats!
1. nearly 9 years
2. I'd love that!
3. That is crap. Rubies are definitely better. ;)
Aloha and happy Friday!
Happy Anniversary. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Maybe some nice lacy lingerie?
I LOVE lace. But I can't imagine that would be easy to find in a man's anniversary gift!
it's almost five years and still counting...
1. Been married 7 years.
2. Yes, joining the movement girl!
3. Shouldn't it be the Tiffany rule> Must buy something from Tiffany & Co?
Congrats! Been married for 26 years!
what a lucky number to be in love we have made 22 nearly 23 years
it will be 29 years in january. woo-hoo!
i don't need any more crap =)
i can think of something lacy that would be a nice present =D but, yeah, rubies would be nice to go with the lace.
happy anniversary!
Congratulations!! Lace? That's crap!
We'll have been married 20 years in March 2010. I like your idea, but I'm afraid it would offend friends who have divorced. Too bad, I could use some new stuff, too!
Married - 18 years
Totally up for a second wedding shower! You rock...great idea.
Lace is crap unless you still like Jessica MacClintock dresses from the 80's.

7 years some time next week. I am probably the only woman on earth who has to pull the certificate out every year to remember the actual day. (We met 20 years ago so it is hard to remember.)
I am in full support. Any movement to promote presents has my backing.
Lace? That is the traditional in the US but in the UK the traditional 13th is a barometer. Do you need one of those? The modern US is textiles or furs. Personal I would go with the modern one because it would mean a shopping spree.
7th year is wool which I translate as a new cashmere sweater.
Happy Anniversary!
And um, how else do you pronounce guffaw?
PS- Lace can be sorta hot if it's also a little slutty, Dontcha think? But not TOO slutty because then it's really itchy. And that's just annoying!
Happy anniversary!
1. 4 years
2. Yes! Sounds awesome!
3. I like lace. :)
going on our 2nd year this november...
thanks for stopping by!
Maybe by 13 years they figure you need something lacy to spice it up?
I will definitely support the 15 year post wedding shower...can I request the gifts come in the form of gift cards to my favorite department store??
Congrats on 13!
1. Almost 4 years!
2. Yes, yes, yes. Can I then register for furniture too?
3. Lace? I thought the 1st year paper was bad!
Happy anniversary :) we just celebrated last month our 5th ;)
13 years. That is amazing : ) And you only look like you are 20 : ) Which means you possibly got married at age of 7!
We have been married for 2 years. We bicker too : ) and however you say guffaw, you are right!
19 years for me!!! I still have the same dishes and blender from when I got married!! I could use another shower too. LOL!!!
1. 7 (oohhhh...I'm itchy.)
2. Yes ... I have some stuff I'd like to upgrade.
3. All that anniversary stuff is crap -- modern and traditional. Who wants lace??????? Give me money!
We will celebrate our 14th anniversary in a few weeks! I'm all for a Still Married Shower! I need new stuff too!
I'm all for getting presents. After all, it's a miracle we're still married after 8 years! LOL!
Happy Anniversary, it is going to be 12 for us at the end of the month and yes I think a shower would be great, we are due for some new stuff!
lol :) We just celebrated our 6th anniversary! Guess what my husband gave me? Glenn Becks new book "Arguing with Idiots" LOL Now I know he didn't mean anything by it.. specially since I had mention that I wanted it.. its just that.. hmmm sometimes.. LOL Flowers or maybe hmm JEWELRY would be nice! Oh well I still love him! :)
17 years married, 22 years together!
Happy Anniversary!
