Hilda and I were married on June 29, 1958. Our wedding vows said "'till death do us part" and that's the way it was. Actually, she was "passed from death unto life" October 20th, 2008. Thankfully, we will get to spend eternity together.
Nothing could compare with the love and bliss we shared in our fifty plus years of togetherness.
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

I met mine 25 years ago this past summer and she was already in the process of buying her first house. (I know a good thing) So I helped her move in and I never left. Anyway we've now been married 23 years as of November 24th and looking to go another 25 or so.
We have kinda grown comfortable together.
Its not always easy to do the right thing, But it is always the right thing to do.

Thanks for the thread sir, it's been inspirational reading for me - truly it has.
We hit 31 years of married life together this past October.
Somehow it doesn't seem like it, partly because we waited more than a dozen years to start our family, but that's what the calendars seem to indicate has gone by.
Thanks again for the thread, thanks to those who've responded and all the best of the Christmas season to all of you who gather round this cyber 'Fire.
Regards,
Dwayne

My funniest anniversary story.
We were married on the 26th, I come home on Nov 26th and after a little bit I know somethings wrong. My wife is getting snippier by the minute.
I finally ask what's up?
'You forgot'
'Forgot what'
'You know'
'No'
'Our anniversary'
I'm thinking and figure, yep I did...'of moving in the house'?
'Wedding'
'Uhhh, we were married in April'
Pause...'Oh, ya'
I got a good dinner out of it though....

Met her when I was 18 and she was 19. Dated a couple months and got married. At our reception we had folks discussing how long we'd last. Got damn lucky and grew up together instead of apart. It was 32 years this past July, we raised a couple amazing daughters along the way, the oldest will be 31 tomorrow. It hasn't all been easy but it's been worth it. She's the stubbornest danged woman I'll ever love, I can't imagine life without her.
