On August 5, 2005, Tara and I were coming down an escalator in the SECC in Glasgow together (during the 2005 Interthingy). Shortly before, someone had admired Tara's Girl Genius pin and had inquired where she got it.
As we were discussing that we'd gotten it at Gen Con in 2001 when we'd gone up there in part to calibrate our first anniversary, we both nearly simultaneously realized that it was our 5th anniversary; and that we'd both forgotten in the business of a trip to the UK and a Worldcon (both the first long trip, and the first Worldcon with The Kid as well).
I don't think we've ever really forgotten an anniversary since - not that we've always done much on them - I know that for our 14th last year were getting ready to go to London, for example, and didn't do anything special.
