My Husband's birthday and our anniversary are just a few days apart too. It's kinda handy coz my chances of forgetting BOTH of them are less that way. I forgot his birthday one year, but I remembered in time for our anniversary, but by then I was already in hot water. I came up with a lame excuse about waiting to celebrate his birthday on our anniversary but it did NOT fly, and he still gigs me about it from time to time to this day. I thought only women were supposed to be sensitive about forgotten birthdays and anniversaries! :o)
I got married on my birthday.
