Sentence: You just knew that after 37 years, the honeymoon was over. In the early years, Peaches and Howard had bought each other elaborate gifts and surprises to mark their wedding anniversaries...exotic trips, a new home, elegant gifts and expensive cameras, perfumes,jewellery, etc. After that long, people start to take each other for granted. Medicines and their side effects to keep symptoms at bay replace romance and passion with menopause,ED,gastro reflux and more frequent potty trips. Now they celebrated a naryanniversnary. Maybe he'd remember to shave that day and maybe she'd cook him a nice supper. They still loved each other, but they didn't remember why. Life just sometimes gets in the way of love...

Etymology: Nary (negative;not in any degree or manner; not at all) & Anniversary (the date on which an event occurred in some previous year (or the celebration of it);ie: a wedding)
