since my beautiful soul mate, (SWMBO but gives me great leeway) and I got married.
This photo is a few months before the wedding (and yes my hair was longer than hers!).




Not a lot planned. I was going to take her to our favorite romantic getaway but she decided that she would rather stay at home with a good meal.....

So later tonight it will be some great steaks grilled up and some good wine.

but throughout the day, we will be imbibing on a mixture of Champagne and Grand Mariner.....a killer drink combination that a good friend of mine turned me on to a little while back.

Good day to all..........

+1 on the wishes and congratulations!

Congrats to both of you. You've got us by a couple. You suppose we only have a certain amount of hair and we used it all up in the 70s?

Congratulations!

As to the 70's hair comment...
The reason why we have less hair now is cuz we SINNED when we broke that promise...

p.s. I'm assuming she felt sorry for you, sort of an act of charity - she must be a real saint! :)

Congrats! I would've been married 36 years, or 29 years, or 12 years, depending on which marriage we were talking about. :eek: I admire anyone who can stick it out and still be happy. Have a great anniversary, and many many more!

Congrats to one of the nicest guys (that I have not met, but talked to) on the board. Nice to belong to such a great group that rejoices and mourns with each others joys and sorrows. (OK, I'm through being sentimental now. Back to your posts, everyone)

I'm late to the party, but Happy Anniversary.

Having met the two earlier this year I can tell everyone that they're just as much in love today as they were in that picture. You're a lucky man Stephen. May you two share many, many more.

Good stuff Steve and warmest congratulations - that's just on 1/3 of a century.

Have you written her a song or are you playing songs from the 70's during your dinner?
