I couldn't tell you what the 9-year vet reward is, but I do want to say congrats!

According to Wikipedia it's pottery/copper/leather goods depending if it's traditional US/UK/modern US.
Soooo.... sounds like steampunk to me.

...haha 9th and you get dried mud in the shape of a bowl. Bloodspeaker gets off easy this year. haha
Happy anniversary though.. enjoy your pottery. 
Haha, I don't know about 9, but we just celebrated year 13 together!
She doesn't post on the forums (and thinks we're all weirdos for taking part in this place... Can't argue with that!), but we do play together! 
Anyway... I don't know about 9, but 13 is all about watching a Friday The Thirteenth movie in honor of that magical number! (Jason Vorhees is her hero)
Year 13 is machete!
Oh, and congratulations!

My boyfriend and I have been toghether for... *begins doing math... and counting on fingers* ... When did the third Matrix movie come out? Ahem. We've been together for 8 years this November.
He and I have been playing this game for over 4 years of that time together, it's been great fun. 
Glad to see other folks are in a similar sort of gaming/relationship bliss.
I dragged my fiance into this game... uh... a while ago(?). Our chosen dating "anniversary" is in January (neither of us really know when we "actually" started dating, lol), and will be our fourth - combat pets! Awesome!

Hmm. My wife and I celebrate 10 years of marriage tomorrow (29/9). She used to play, but hasn't joined me for a while. How many points to unlock more free time for her?

Congratulations! If I had a partner currently, they and I would wish you happy anniversary. As it is, I'll speak on their behalf.
Happy anniversary.

Congratulations!
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
Congratulations DR! Yesterday 9/27 was my husband and I 10 year anniversary. My husband bought this game home in may of 2007 and I thought it was stupid, this was before he downloaded it and he started playing and I was like whoa it's sooo cool, now I play it all the time, sadly he hardly plays, he likes his X-Box first shooter war and zombie games much more. With freedom launched hopefully I can convince him to play more.

Top Ten Ways Samuraiko And Hublet Can Celebrate Nine Years
10) Take full advantage of this being the Leather Anniversary... spend three days apologizing for forgetting the "safe" word...
9) Add "Nine Years: A Retrospective" to the list of videos to be done... get around to it by the 14th anniversary...
8) Convince the hubbie to put on the home-made Positron armor to re-enact favorite scenes from Nerd Romance...
7) Whisper "you know... City of Heroes isn't the ONLY game in town that's free to play..." in his ear and see what develops...
6) Watch Wedding video together... complain about all the errors and mistakes... shake head at what a noob you were back then...
5) Second Honeymoon Task Force.
4) Read all the responses to this thread... double then triple check main characters' email and realize everyone would rather say "happy anniversary" than send gifts...
3) Run one of your Tip missions together... congratulate him on his find of a purple recipe... call lawyer to see if there is such a thing as "justified homicide"...
2) Greet him at the door wearing nothing but a name tag reading "Hello My Name is Katherine"... ask him if he's interested in running a quick Katie...
1) Use your Ouroboros Portal to go back and do it all over again... Not. Change. A. Thing.
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw

Actually... our wedding video does not in fact contain the vast majority of the comedy of errors leading up to our wedding, which includes (but is not limited to):|

- Having to explain to my devout Methodist father-in-law-to-be that a pagan handfasting did not, in fact, involve the sacrifice of pigs
- After deciding to hold the wedding in Vegas, being told by Caesar's Palace that as "they advocated traditional values, a pagan handfasting would not be welcome in their establishment"
- The jeweler mis-sizing our rings 3 weeks before the ceremony and having to have them resized
- The best man finding out a WEEK before the wedding that a) his paycheck was being delayed and b) they weren't authorizing his requested vacation time to attend the wedding
- Having to have my brother step in as best man
- The tux rental place losing John's tux TWO DAYS before the wedding
- My in-laws-to-be missing the rehearsal dinner because they couldn't find a parking space and hadn't thought to valet park the car
- Breaking one of my teeth on SALAD at the rehearsal dinner
- Realizing that we had neglected to bring bread and wine for the ceremony so my brother dashed off to get some - and came back with a full bottle and a football-sized loaf when all we needed was a glass and a slice
- Seeing that the mother of the bride getting married just BEFORE me in the chapel was wearing the same dress as MY mother - we have a picture
What it DOES include, however... is the best error of the lot, and easily the funniest.
In the typical rush of the rehearsal, while going over the vows, we... sort of glossed over things. I mean, the officiant went, "Okay, and it'll be, 'I, John... blah blah...' then 'I, Michelle... blah blah blah...'" and that was it. We didn't think anything of it because we were repeating our vows, so there was nothing to memorize.
Cue the wedding. The bride is radiant. The groom is handsome. The mothers of the bride and groom are quietly weeping. The fathers are stoic and proud (and the Methodist is uncomfortable but making do). And we get to the vows. And the officiant, reading from the script we'd given her, starts so John can repeat after her.
"'I, John Franklin Travis, do take Michelle..."
And pauses.
Now, we both know the ceremony, so we wait for her to continue... because she's supposed to say MY full name. And we wait. And we wait. And then we glance at her. She has a very perplexed expression on her face.
Now the camera happens to be zoomed in on our faces, and kid you not, the dawning comprehension of "Oh, S***, we forgot to tell her how to pronounce my middle and last name" is written all over our expressions. John *tries* to sotto voce it to her, but it doesn't quite reach, and I start giggling up at the altar, just as my parents realize what the problem is. My dad thinks this is funny - my mother does not. My grandmother is HUGELY smiling at this.
The officiant gamely takes a shot at my name (gets it wrong), and John and I promptly crack up laughing (I tried to hide my face in my bouquet - it didn't work). John corrects her more audibly, and now everyone in the chapel realizes what the problem is, and everyone laughs (including the officiant). She tries again, gets my middle name right, LAST name wrong, we correct her again (I'm now doubled over at the altar, while my matron of honor and junior bridesmaid are giggling, and my brother is facepalming and muttering "you idiots"), and on we go.
We were smirking all the way through the rest of the ceremony.
Ahhhhh, we are such fun.

Wedding stories are great... especially the little boo-boos...
In my case, my bride (this would be my current ex-wife) stopped beside her grandfather's chair while walking down the aisle and turned to him.
He is a huge man who doesn't handle heavy emotional scenes very well. He looks up at her and, in a booming voice, says "Well, what in the hell do you want?"
"I'd like you to lift my veil for me, grandpa," she says quietly while every member of her family begins hiding their faces in their hands.
"Oh g****mmit," he thunders and climbs to his feet. He flips her veil up and back then, not missing a beat, says "I don't see what good it did... you're just as ugly with it up as you were with it down."
Yeah... wedding memories are priceless.

Last name - Nersesian (Nurr-SEHS-yuhn) (also Armenian)
For the most part, pronounced how they look, but nooooooooooo... crap, I had people constantly mispronouncing both. Ugh.
When John and I got engaged, I threatened to make him change HIS name. We agreed it'd be cruel and unusual punishment.

Anahid - pagan goddess of fire, war, and poetry (related to Anahita)
Nersesian - patronymic name indicating "son/descendant of Nerses", who created the Armenian alphabet system
Michelle, of course, being the female derivative of Michael, or "who is like God" in Hebrew.

Today (9.28), BloodSpeaker and I celebrate 9 years of marriage.
City of Heroes has been a source of a lot of great memories for us. John got me into COH (he started around Dec 2006, I joined in July 2007). Our two mains are en/en blasters and masterminds (his is necro/dark, mine is mercs/TA). Our first REAL vacation together was HeroCon 2008. Some of our closest friends now came into our lives thanks to this game.
It really is true - the couple that plays together, stays together.
Though if he gets one more purple recipe on one of MY tip missions, I'm gonna kill him.
DING!
