24 years today

Well the wife and I have been married 24 years today (My parents called to remind me :ashamed:), Am I actually suppose to get something special was just going to run out now and get some flowers for her and I don't remember getting anything last year. I did make a nice dinner. Next year were doing something nice for the 25th we are suppose to go on a cruise but who knows now that could be cancelled and we might have to do something else.

But yup 24 years, some probably wonder how she could put up with me that long and it's all in the training.:joker:

I haven't changed much from when we first met same attitude maybe stronger in my beliefs but they are still the same. I still rant a lot and probably more.

My parents are married 55 years this year, so were 31 behind them, doubt I would live long enough to make 50 years of marriage maybe 40.

Well I better go get some flowers hopefully I can find something for under 15 bucks.

Congratulations to both of you! 45 years last May twofour for Irene and I. After a while gifts stop being important, give her a hug and a kiss. :)

Congratulations,greatwhite. Covid-19 has taken the romance out of the traditional anniversary stuff. Maybe,a trip to the flowers and jewelry store is in order.

Jewelry cost money, I like troutslayer idea it doesn't cost me money. I'm at Foodland will see how much flowers are.

OK, got myself a six pack and the Wife some purple flowers 10 bucks for flowers that live for only a few days. I figured I should get the medium priced ones didn't want to look cheap could have got the 7 dollars ones.

I also made a big dinner and something I know she liked that I made twice this year.

BBQ Sliced red Potatoes with rosemary
BBQ Pit boys Chicken Dragon Eggs
and salad.

Perfect! you're a good catch!

Good to see the romance never dies. I’m only 12 years in on my life sentence. Nothing says I love you more then fresh veggies from the garden and a good bbq steak.

Well,let's not go too far overboard. Maybe you should pick some flowers off the neighbors and cook her some burgers.

You cheap out on flowers that won't live too long, you may not either. I wouldn't be standing near any woodpiles for awhile.
Regardless, congrats on your 24 years.

Congrats on 24 years! It’s 42 for me.......of course it took two wives !!

Congrats, you cheap b astard, LOL.
Its been I don't know how long , married in 1968 you figure it out. LOL

Congrats.
3 days from now I will be 3 years more than you, may I suggest the bouquet of a couple or upto half dozen roses, IF she likes dried flowers what I do is I usually take them out and hang them upside down somewhere for dried flowers the 2nd or 3rd day, roses work good for that other flowers... usually not.
For the rest of the bouquet, Chrysanthemum's of the same colours, they last a week often.... they are in the not good for dried flower category.

I couldn't find any flowers at the neighbours trust me I looked. But I am spending a lot for next year. I put money down on a cruise for next early summer, but it might change because of Covid but will go someplace. If we can't go on the cruise maybe a trip to Vancouver and Alberta.

'68. Same year we got married. And went out together all through high school for 5 years before that. I don't know how many anniversaries I've forgotten. Probably same number of black eyes i've suffered.

We were in grade one and two together, then I move away and came back for high school.

Congratulations.
This is my year 25
We were to do an East Coast cruise this year but have postponed it to next year and with what is going on within cruise ships, I may cancel that one also.
I'll drive to the east coast before I do another cruise.

Hey Chuck.
Congratulations on 45 years

My parents celebrated their 43rd wedding anniversary a couple weeks before Dad passed. They have been together for 56 years. One thing is certain -- growing up, I never questioned if my dad loved my mom.

Congrats on your anniversary. If she hasn't shot you yet for being you, I think you're good 👍 but go for the roses next time

Roses were double the price.

But I once did put a lot of thought into a gift for Xmas. In 2006 I bought her a family ring with all our kids stones on it.

It had 7 stones. Wife's was first for June, March for our daughter, Sept for first son and July for the second son as well as Feb for our twin daughters who passed shortly after being born. I told her the twins stones were placed 1 on each end to watch over everyone as Angles.

There is a nice side of me that occasionally shows itself.

(Yes I heard about you father, very sorry he was someone I was hoping to meet some day a very nice person.)

Congratulations GW

Congratulations Great white! :) 47 years here and still happy. :)

Congrats GW!

We are 12 years coming up this September

The other day my wife and I were telling the kids how much we use to go out and attend parties etc. I reminded my wife of the Private New Years party we attended during a winter storm. Another woman and my wife were having a discussion then a little while later my wife went up to dance. I guess I had looked over a few times at the woman earlier so she came over and asked me if I wanted to dance with her.

I always remind my wife I am a hot topic when we go out. :joker:

Thanks old pal. I would have left her a long time ago, but she has 9 Irish brothers, all bigger than me. :)
And Congrats on 25 John to you and the pretty wife!

Wow some of you have been married 40 + years, that's a long time.
Some of you I didn't realize you were that old 45 years Troutslayer
Sharon 47 years.

Don't think I will even be alive to be married over 40 years. If a heart attack doesn't kill me the wife probably will have or the kids looking for their inheritance.:ninja:

Stats Canada says the average Marriage last approx 13.7 years in 2008.

The 25th is a Silver Anniversary . May I suggest getting her a medal ? LoL !

Well we already booked a cruise considering that cost enough I could also get this as a medal.

Shouldn't I get the medal not her?

Congrats gw. I just gave my wife a bouquet of brown-eye Susan that she planted. She wasn’t impressed. Lol I thought I did good, last year I forgot.

Just dropped by to wish you and the wife the best - hope you guys have many more happy and healthy years together - couldn’t happen to a nicer guy - you deserve the best - I guess most of us don’t fully appreciate our wives until they are gone - treat her good so you don’t have regrets
