You really don't remember when you got married? I mean, we lived together, too, and I don't put that much stock in a piece of paper, but even if you don't have a big party, the day itself was special to me. I guess I am more romantic than I give myself credit for. People always accuse DH and I of being too "pragmatic," and have taken each new phase of our life in stride and tried not to let ourselves be changed too much.
I lost my wedding ring, too. It was a beautiful, one of a kind free flowing gold sculpty looking thing and one day it was just not there. I think it fell off at the gym. Then my engagement ring got stolen. I had a very plain gold band for awhile and on Mother's Day, 1992, DH and the kids presented me with a diamond infinity band, which I still have. I think the kids were more excited than me.
