42 years today...

...and the sun was shining on the day of our wedding - unlike today, we have had almost continual rain since lunchtime (much needed though).

This was a self take just over a year ago, and have we aged since then!

I think so.

It took Anne seven years before saying yes - I'm not sure she has made up her mind yet.

Thanks for the comments as always.

Congratulations Barrie and Anne, Ian and Julia.

42 years! Debbie and I celebrate 18 years in October but I doubt we'll be together in another 25. Or maybe we will.

Re: 42 years today...

Oh the Joys It is one of the few things in life I have never achieved that most of my friends have, a divorce :-).

In our 33rd year of marriage and as I am sure Barr1e will confirm, there is no substitute for a good woman. Not a clue where I would be in life today if it was not for her and really not somewhere my head likes to go. Congrats to all above. Marriage as an institution is not dead.

Congratulations Barrie and Anne. I hope that you avoided jokes about life sentences only being for half that time.

It was our 46th on June 4th and we were amazed that the whole village turned out. Pimms and strawberry garden party at the big house, sports and family event followed by hog roast and disco on the cricket field etc - they even lit a beacon for us in the evening!

I think the queen was celebrating something as well - shame she didn't have time to pop in to see us

You had me going for a minute there, thinking to myself, fat chance of anybody doing that for us!

Then my brain came into gear and I registered the date.

Anne says that's nothing - a service of thanksgiving at St Paul's was arranged for us but something better turned up, so we asked the queen to attend on our behalf.

Secret to a long happy marriage

An old woman was sipping on a glass of wine, while sitting on the patio
with her husband, and she says" I love you so much, I don't know how I could ever live without you".

Her husband asks "Is that you or the wine talking?".

She replies "It's me, talking to the wine."
