45 years ago today, DH and I met at my works Christmas do! His brother and I worked for the same hosiery company and he had come as his brother's guest to the party which was at the Top Rank Suite! I bought a new beaded Berketex dress and our first dance was the Gay Gordon's!

How sedate were we!

I hope you don the beaded Berkertex beaded dress and recreate your first dance tonight! Congratulations! Happy memories

Ha, Jane even if I still had it, it would be 'snug'!! I de beaded it eventually and wore it loads but I don't quite have the figure for it now tchsad and anyway, ho would know about the Gay Gordons nowadays?

The Slightly Camp Colin's, perhaps?

Have a lovely 'anniversary' evening[ wine]

Many Congratulations!

Thank you for your good wishes but I was really trying to point out the innocence of what seems like ten minutes ago! Dh hasn't remembered!!

DH has a selective memory as well as selective hearing! Is this a male trait?

Happy Anniversary, kitty and Mr. kitty

Yes, happy anniversary!

Loopylou my theory is that! most of the time they CBA to remember because they know we'll tell them anyway..

loopylou Fri 19-Dec-14 16:34:54

Then when you tell them they argue.......?!

kittylester Fri 19-Dec-14 16:48:54

Or tell you that you've never told them that before!! tchgrin

Congratulations flowers

We also met 45 years ago- but in late April- about 1 month after I'd arrived for my 6 months in London- which turned out to be 39 years... (thanks for me getting on the wrong train and having to ask him how to get home...)- we got married 1 year later.

What a romantic lot you are tchenvy! We met in the middle of a farmyard when I fell over in the s..t and was unceremoniously dumped in the trough to clean off the muck...... Must have been a moral lurking somewhere!

It is more than 51 years since I met DH and to my shame it is him that remembers the date. Last year when it was 50 years he gave me a lovely card and opened the champagne.
