How many years have you and yours been married, or together, whichever applies to you? Today is our 48th wedding anniversary, heaven only knows how we`re still together, you don`t get that long for murder, and I`ve come pretty close to committing that at times!

Gagagran. We were married in January 1965. We had our 50th. Wedding celebrations January 2015 How come you are not having yours until this July. You say you too were married in 1965? [confused ]

No - we had our celebration weekend last July - 2015, which as you say was the 50th anniversary. I think this thread was resurrected which may have caused the confusion!

Thank goodness, I thought we were a year out. All the best for your 51st anniversary.

Congrats Wilma and happy anniversary! Margrete that's amazing - congrats to you too! We've just passed our Sapphire anniversary - 45 years. I'd no idea it was sapphire otherwise I'd have made the most of it grin We've known each other since we were 11, got engaged at 15 and married at 17 (and a day for me) - and they said it would never last!

Wilma we share an anniversary date if not a year. 47 years ago there was also snow. Our black and white photos look like something from a horror film. Dark sky and tombstones! Freezing but as you said we didn't feel it. Hope you've had a good day.

Willow thank you! smile

cornergran Happy Anniversary to you and I hope you had a lovely day too. flowers I didn't feel the cold, but my husband to be did and it looks like he's got no neck on our wedding photos because he was shivering so much! grin I think it was the skirt of my wedding dress trapping hot air that kept me warm. wink

The thing that stands out to me about our wedding photos is that I look great and it's the only time in my life I have ever thought that about photos of myself. My DH on the other hand usually looks great in photos and as I said it looked like he had no neck. The wedding photo we have framed is one of us an indoor one of us signing the register, so we both look good in it. wink

52 for us!!!!!! Two life sentences plus!!!!!! There have been times Grrrrr! but in the main it's been pretty good. My DH is very practical, very loyal, fairly tolerant loved the children, my parents and our many animals. Looking back at 21 -23, it was a bit of a gamble!! but luckily it worked through good times and the bad, and there have been one or two of those!! I think having things in common helped, or was even the key! anyhow we're still here, I think/hope tlll death etc.
