This is the song I wanted to hear on my 32nd wedding anniversary, which was yesterday.
Yeah, 32 years of delightful, wedded bliss (or to quote Peter Finch from the film NETWORK "shrill, shrieking fraud") which brings to mind another humorous moment.
A while back my friend Leslie (known as PARAVATI on LF) invited me to her wedding, and I gently declined with "I don't believe in marriage".
"But, you're married!" she typed back.
"Thaaaat's right!" I replied.
I know, that's a Hell of a thing to tell a young woman who was planning a wedding.
I wish I had started being truthful long ago....
If I ever pre-order a tombstone (which is doubtful) it will read "He died the first time he got married, but the music and the drugs were so good that despite the pain he couldn't bring himself to stiffen up and stop moving"
Our marriage odometer clicked 31 earlier this month.
Thank you and congratulations on 31 years.
Nobody warned you, either? I asked my "best man" about that and he said, "I want other men to get married so they can be happy like everybody else!"
Wifey and I were on the road together for a little over a year before our wedding so we also passed our 33rd year together.
That's the date (July 5th) I feel is worth celebrating if any, but of course mothers-in-law teach daughters to celebrate the day when the law abandons men and runs to the wives' corners.....They say, "Go on and marry him, if it doesn't work out he'll have to support ya!"
My fave one panel cartoon shows a newlywed couple leaving church in a limo and the bride is saying, "Well, I won't be needing this anymore!" as she tosses her diet book out the window.
