Putting The Happy Into Happy Anniversary

(My girlfriend and I are celebrating our third year anniversary, and I have called to make reservations. We are both females, and are often hesitant to reveal we are dating due to homophobic attitudes in our area.)

Hostess: “And will you be celebrating any special events this evening?”

Me: “Um… yes, it’s our anniversary.”

Hostess: “Happy anniversary! We’ll see you tonight at [time]!”

(Upon our arrival, all three hostesses wished us a happy anniversary, and when we got to the table, there was a card signed by the entire restaurant staff. After our meal, the manager stopped by our table to wish us a happy anniversary and gave us a complimentary dessert. The people working there made our night, and my girlfriend and I left the restaurant in all smiles. They treated us just like any other couple celebrating their anniversary; I couldn’t have asked for more!)
