For some reason a minor memory from when I was a kid has suddenly come to me; I went to the local shop with a friend where he bought an anniversary card for his parents (yep, useless memory, no boobs or explosions or anything).
In my family.... we just don't do that. Anniversaries are purely between the couple in question, not 3rd parties.
I wonder.
Was my friend's family odd?
Is my family odd?
Is languish bored enough to vote in a pointless poll?

I don't even know when their anniversary is.

My parents' wedding day was December 24th, Christmas Eve (or THE most important day of Christmas in Germany). So, no, nobody cared.

My oldest sister was in fact a Christmas miracle. My parents were married 24/12/60, and my sister was born only a month later on 25/01/61. Clearly a miracle. :pope:

My parents are divorced so I think that would be rude.

I do often celebrate my mother's wedding to my stepfather as I'm often home for Christmas at the time.

Haha mine parents' is New Years Eve. Who cares. They never really cared either (both are divorcees). For all I know I could be a bastard. :P

I'm pretty sure you are bastard.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Please, the polite term is "natural son".

If I remember, I do it.

We actually have kind of a tradition built around their anniversary so yeah it is kind of a big deal.

It is in March, then Mom's Birthday in April, Mother's Day in May, and the Father's Day in June. Parent Season I like to call it.

We only bother with the big ones. If the couple announce a party then quite expensive presents will be brought.

I don't even know when my parents got married. I don't think they cared much themselves. They didn't even have an actual wedding ceremony, they just went to the city council and signed the papers.

Needs an "other" option. No, I never used to mark my parents' wedding anniversary, but I did buy cards and help arrange celebrations for their Silver and Ruby anniversaries. They made it to Golden, but mum was already quite ill by then.
