Would you say We have been Married 17 and 3/4 yrs or 17 and 2/3 yrs. Why not say we will be celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary this January. but however you feel like expressing it and congratulations

Answer 4

We've been happily married for 17+ years.

Answer 5

i would say "my husband and i have been happily married since january 1991"

let them do the math! lol, it really is less confusing that way cuz if you say 17, they are like 17? and you say, well 17 1/2...so cut to the chase, sister!

peace, out

Answer 6

just say 17

Answer 7

how about "happily married 17+ years"

that suggests more than  17 and less than 18, or else you would say "18" or 18+ years"

Answer 8

the first one.

Answer 9

Adding the 1/2 year sounds juvenile.  I'd stick to whole years.

Answer 10

happily married for 17 years

(or 'over 17 years' or 'more than 17years')

Answer 11

17
