"It was 20 years ago today..."

"Sgt Pepper taught the band..." Oh wait, not that.

It was 20 years ago today that Wifey and I got married. Seems like that time flew by, so I guess that's a good sign.

RickFLM4 · 07-23-2023, 07:57 PM

Congrats and wish you the best for many more!

Congratulations, today is Lisa and my 18th anniversary. I'm not sure how long that is with the windchill factor. Nothing fancy this year, went to the Creekside Pub near home, had a bite to eat and listed to a local guy play guitar and sing some songs. A great afternoon/evening. Cheers.

Esteban · 07-23-2023, 08:38 PM

Congratulations to both of you old married couples!

I got 48 years the 26th of this month.

July 26, 1975. We were both 20 years old.

1975? Yikes. I was between my junior and senior year in HS. Although I was only 4 years younger, so not so surprising, I guess.

We just went out to dinner (Indian) and did some shopping. Not unlike any other weekend, really.

Us just before the big day 20 years ago.

It's been a good life and we've still got many years ahead of us. We're shooting to live well into our 90s.

Curious, were you married before?

Yes, both of us. Needless to say, it's worked out better the second time around.

^ Weren’t really that different than other people our age in the 70s, at least the ones that we hung out with.

And Boho-chic, at its height was in 2005, so…

Llarry · 07-23-2023, 09:19 PM

41 1/2 years for me. But unfortunately, that is an aggregated total of three marriages. Married 1975-1990 and divorced. Married 1994 and widowed in 2010.

And married 10 1/2 years this time. I would've preferred to have found the right woman the first time, but such is life.
Congratulations to all!

And the same to you, Llarry.

Sorry about your second wife.

hubbahubba · 07-24-2023, 07:12 AM

Congrats M_Six !!!

Four years on the board and never posted a current pic of us. Will be 33 years in November. We were both 22, and NOBODY thought it would work out.

The Mrs and I at Quixote Winery last week. It’s been a good life!

I don't know about advice. We just got lucky. We were kids at 20 and we've been through so many changes we are honestly lucky we're still together. We grew up together. We love each other and we like each other as well and I think that's important. We've always been happy together. Yes, we have had our share of disagreements over the years but we always got over them. Just be kind and considerate. And affectionate; we still hold hands.

The Libertine · 07-24-2023, 02:09 PM

Congratulations! Best wishes on the next 20 years!
