Happy anniversary to Helen and Jake, married on this day in 1975. Read their complete vows, which they have just done a bang-up job following through on. Cough.Mike Yamiolkoski wrote an excellent fanfic, Committed, that makes excellent use of those vows and their repercussions. I won't say anything more specific, but read it now if you haven't already! (And if you have read it, go read it again!)
Poor Helen probably has pretty low expectations for today, considering Jake's past history. Hopefully he's learned a few things since their first anniversary--maybe this time the candle will actually look like a hobbit. God help Jake if he forgets the day entirely, though!
Congratulations on thirty-six years of marriage, Helen and Jake! In the wise words of Aunt Amy, that shows remarkable fortitude.
