Meredith and I met 1,000 days ago today. When we were first dating, for some reason we kept count of the number of days. She recently dug up a Christmas card I gave her in 2004 which referred to the number of days. It was for that reason that I used it in the marriage proposal (979 days at the time). And today it was 1,000 days that I've known her. The date that we met is memorable for two reasons -- it was 06/05/04, easy enough, but it's also the date that Ronald Reagan passed away. We were on our first date at Festival of the Arts downtown, watching her niece Anna dance on stage, when we first heard of his passing.
Meredith wondered what I would give her for our 1,000 day "anniversary." If "annum" means year, and "diem" means day, I guess the correct word would be "dieversary." I told her she'd get nothing and like it. :)
Somewhere in my mind I had wanted a wedding date of 09/08/07, or 05/06/07, or something that had some symmetry with 06/05/04, but it looks like 06/09/07 makes the most sense for more practical reasons. We're trying to make the date definite by booking a reception hall and, oh yeah, finding someone that will actually marry us, but the date looks pretty solid at this point. And it looks like we're going to Toronto/Niagara Falls for our honeymoon! It should be beautiful in June!

Sounds like a great plan, guys. Toronto and Niagara - should be fun. Have you thought of doing NOTL as well (Niagara-on-the-lake)? Lots of bed and breakfasts, quaint shops, wineries, neat little town. And good restaurants. Even if you don't stop there over night, you might stop at the Lake House which is just off the QEW at around victoria street exit, I think. Great views of the lake and down the coastline. And pretty good food, too.
Just to be clear.... I was joking about the question "What are you going to get me for our 1,000 day anniversary." ;)
