Events in My Family Tree: January 19

Still catching up to the past few dates of family events.  This is the first calendar date for which one of my relatives chose a birth date as a wedding date.  I know I have at least two more instances of this in my family, which will appear in June and December.  I wonder how many there will be by the end of the year?
