363 Days!
As of Saturday, Will and I will have been married one year.
Which means we've been dating a little less than 18 months.
Which means we know that some of you probably lost your bet. Shall we say double or nothing?
I have been swamped with multiple jobs and multiple blogs and while all of those are hitching a ride with us this weekend, we are going to Vegas. VEGAS! We were going to skip the trip in favor of something a wee less cheaper, but SlackDad put his foot down and you don't say no to SlackDad. So it's off to THEHotel for us, a teeny bit of gambling (teeny!) a lot of time by the hotel pool, and a couple days to sleep in!
Oh, and two more days to see if the person who attended the wedding who brought us nary a wedding gift nor card have been waiting until we've been married a year to send their well-wishes, or if they just don't think we're worth the effort.
I'm banking on the latter. I'm classy like that.
Speaking of classy, make sure to take my Whorebot or Spammer? poll over at Antisocial Networking!
i wouldn't get your hopes up for that present, i've been married TEN YEARS and my best friend still asks "did i give you a wedding present yet?"...and the answer is still no.
i'm holding out hope for a soup tureen though.

Wow with friends like that, you need to learn how to make car bombs.
Have fun you crazy kids. Happy Anniversary, and thanks for letting be a viewer of it too.

Congrats to you both!
I was a pseudo-wedding coordinator for my friend so she insisted I couldn't get them a gift. I didn't. Should I feel bad?

@Ren: Ha!
@Michele: Awww...merci!
@Sizzle: No! Acting as a coordinator is a HUGE gift. These people just showed up, ate, drank, and insulted one of my friends. Nice, eh?

Happy Anniversary!I'm glad to have witnessed beginning and hope to hell that I never witness the end.
Enjoy yourselves...Grab a few of those gigantic Vegas shrimp (the ones the size of small babies) for me.

Slackboycouple, congrats. Before you know it you'll be linking back to this in 9 more years. :)

Congrats!
My supposed best friend, who was also one of my witnesses and the first person to see the gift list still hasn't gotten us anything. I don't speak to her anymore.

Maybe they only give baby gifts?

Congratulations to you both, and thanks again for broadcasting the festivities on the internets so we could watch. I watched the video about four times. *sniff*
(six weeks tomorrow for us!)

I know how tough it is first hand, so I commend you for your fortitude and what seems like a genuine solid foundation.
Now here's hoping that quarter slot gives you a huge payoff!!!

I doubt anyone *seriously* made any bets, right? I guess I still have too much hope in humanity. Oops, I still owe some wedding gifts, but luckily not to you two! Ha!

Oops...my other comment got eaten. What I forgot to say was Happy Anniversary!!!
