wedding anniversary

Today my wife and I are married 38 years ! Wow how the time flies. She's my best friend and confidant . We hit a rough patch or two along the way but stuck with it for a variety of reasons but mainly for love. We have two great grown up sons and three grandchildren life is good. Seeing that I am 58 and she's ( I'm not saying ) we have a good shot at 50 and beyond . By today's standards I'm sure we are considered dinosaurs !

In Canada that would almost be two consecutive life sentences!

Congrats!

Congratulations!
It does take a lot of work (and a stubborn streak).
The wife and I will celebrate our 40th in September.
We sometimes wonder how we two kids had the good sense (or luck) to recognize a life long partner.

Congrats. Our 21st is today. Kind of ironic the "wedding anniversary" thread was at the top of the list. Oh *****, its our anniversary today, I better get off this computer and pay the missus some attention.

wedding anniversary

25 years for us in March 2017. Let's see that means um 24 years right now. We are in the middle of a two week road trip. 24-7 togetherness. All day in a 911 and all night in a hotel room in a different city. Tomorrow we get to Jay Peak for a week and no more hauling suitcases in and out.

32 years in September, I'm 62. She still gets my motor going. No real rough times either.

I agree about too many waving the "I give up" flag! Terrible!

For me it will be 32 years come September.

Oh...staying single that is.





Seriously.....congrats on your marriage!
