Aniversary?

[Tog]

My better half and I will celebrate (*1) 21 years of wedded bliss (*1) on Thursday 7th.

Many chums have remarked: - you dont look old enough (I was 22, she 20), - that's your 3rd life sentance, hmmm 3x7 = one bloody great big itch! etc.

I've booked a table at a fine resturant on the beach in Bournemouth (feels just like the med) (*2) - so that should earn me a few brownie points,,,,

So folks, what's your score? first? twice / thrice, 50 golden years and still going strong?

And how do you celebrate? any 'interesting' aniversary japes to tell?

 

(*1- if thats the right word?!)

(*2- hope she don't mind me chucking half a mackerel out, the Bass might be in)

Thirty three years on 01/09/06, we were loading a delivery and Debbie looked at me and said "Do you know what today is?"

 

"It's our thirty third wedding aniversary" I replied "And we are still slogging our b*lls off, have a house full of kids plus grand children, so whats changed?"

 

"Nothing" she laughed "Always wanted a big family and it saved me hatching them all out"

 

"What are we doing to celebrate?" I asked.

 

"Not what you have in mind" she replied

 

So after thirty three years I guess nothing much has changed

HellBelly and I clocked up just 6 years on Sept 3rd. We celebrated by going to a Gold Class Cinema $63 and had a cheese platter and a couple of Bourbons each $38. Was an interesting experience everyone should try at least once and great for special celebrations but $100 just to watch a movie!! Bit steep. Saw Pirattes of the Carribean which was very entertaining but the whole eating in the Cinema thing doesn't work if you ask me. The luxurious chairs recline all the way back which was wonderfull and only 30 seats in the whole cinema, 5 rows of 3 doubles, with a small table inbetween and the only light a glow around the wine chiller. But you have the staff walking in and out the whole time which is distracting and when the food came out we had to sit up straight, couldn't see what we were eating, missed some of the movie and when the lights came on and we got up to leave there were crumbs all over us and the seats which was embarrassing. But I'm all for the luxury seating and alcohol. Do you have them over there in the UK? It's very new here.

Wow, Tubular, that's both interesting and unusual. I've not heard of that until now. Happy Anniversary, BTW.

 

26 years wedded to my girl Karin for me. Where did the time go?

Technically it's 15 years on 20/5/06, but I was 'banished' from the marital home for about a year up to last Christmas time....she then decided I was enjoying my new found freedom a bit too much and reigned me back in!!!
