Funny thing is, I have spent many anniversaries, birthdays, and other occasions that we tend to celebrate in the manner in which you explained having spent your recent anniversary. I am a widow now, but for many years my husband and I celebrated occasions such as anniversaries etc., when we could. When we had children, we couldn't always drop everything and celebrate, after the children were old enough, and we could have maybe taken a bit of time for ourselves, we were too busy trying to help shape their future. We did party sometimes to celebrate, don't get me wrong and when we did, those few parties that we did have probably meant a lot more to us than if we had partied to celebrate every occasion.
As you state in your comment, the true and most important thing about marriage is love and commitment and to add to that, I would say also a shared responsibility for each other and a continued ability to learn to give and take rather than constantly accept. Thank you for sharing your happiness, I wish many more years of love and happiness for you and your husband. Also too, let me say congratulations on your negative finding in regards to the biopsy test. Take advantage of your good fortune, use that occasion as a reason to go out and celebrate when your husband gets well. You'll find that moments of joy like this one and many others you will have will be moments that you will celebrate with just as much feeling as you would an anniversary, birthday, etc.
