Where was this quote from Lil Hannah? It's not actually true. Some JWs will not celebrate their wedding anniversary if they weren't JWs at the time of their wedding. The only celebration that JWs, as a whole, participate in is honoring the death of Christ.

ETA: Ok - to be technical, they "commemorate" the "Memorial of Christ's Death" also known as the "Lord's Evening Meal."
