help with events for a speech

[return to the red]

I'm doing a speech at some friends wedding who have been dating for over 7 years and I'm trying to come up with events that happened during this time that don't happen very often. The intent is to kind of play up how long they have been together before finally getting hitched. They have been together since 2000

for example I have

64 Hurricanes in that time span
4 olympic games
3 prime Ministers
etc.

what are some suggestions I could add?

Thanks RTTR
