How many years wed?

We have been married since 1958 - 55 years, I think my American sister has been married since 1945 - more maths. 68 years.

It's our 48th WA on Wednesday, 10 July. (I was of course a child bride)

We met on 29 June 1963 and on the anniversary of that date, a week last Saturday, my lovely DH had 50 beautiful roses delivered to me. It was a huge surprise and I felt hugely humbled and grateful, especially as he is a bit of a rough tough Yorkshireman, not given to romantic gestures. (He has since told me that the roses are also for our WA!)

Gally celebrate with Gransnet here.

We should have been celebrating 40 years in December, but only got to 38 years and 2 months. Not sure what to do on 1st December. Should I celebrate what could have been/what was or should I bury my head in the sand and pretend it never happened? Should I be alone and throw a party for 1 or push the boat out and invite all my friends and family? Decisions, decisions.

Happy Anniversary Mr and MrsSB!

Happy Anniversary MRS SB < are you doing anything special ?

We have been married 42 years in January gone

41 years today. Last year we celebrated our 40th on a cruise with champagne and a lovely celebration cake. Definitely no bubbly this year though

44 years, married February 1969.We still have our ups and downs but are together.

49 years as of last week. Much longer together

I hope all is still well for all those who posted of love for their DH/DW.43 years for us in a fortnight.my long suffering DH had to take me to A&E this morning and stoically read the independent for two hours,possibly the dullest newspaper ever. The man is a blessing and a treasure. All's well that ends well.

Thank you Gracesmum. We are indeed about to celebrate our Golden wedding. We`ll be going out for a meal with our 5 children, partners of 4 of them, plus some of our grandchildren. The occasion is being slightly overshadowed by hubby`s being told that he has a possible cancer in his bowel, he has a CT scan this coming Wednesday, we`re hoping that the news isn`t going to be too bad. Sorry to put a dampener on the thread.

Just celebrated 9 years. Second time round for both of us.

It would have been 41 years but sadly my wide passed away in 2003.
I do not agree when people say we were only married for 31 years so it is not so bad as being widowed after say 50 years,
We met in 1960 so our relationship lasted for 43 years.
I think the marriage really rubber stamped our love for each other.

Number I have realised that you must be approaching your Golden anniversary! Of ocurse having read Nanav and Hunt's posts - that is nothing!!! Congratulations when the day comes anyway!

I've been happily married for 55 years and have 1 daughter and 1 son , 2 grand daughters and 1 grand son ,2 g grand daughters and 1 g grandson due in November.
After getting the all clear from cancer 2 years ago and having a lesion removed from my spine 12 months ago I consider myself to be the luckiest person in the world

We met 59 years ago this summer and to celebrate, my husband took me to the railway station where we met, to the Inn where we had our first romantic meal and then to see the dance hall where we had our first dance.(It is now a fish and chip shop!) This was one of those holiday romances that are not supposed to last!

Oops the wart remedy was for Greenmoss on Thursday. Somehow I managed to have two GN pages open at once. I blame DGD (4 years) for delayed posting.

Isn't there something about getting rid of warts by dancing naked in a churchyard at midnight with a dead black cat tied to the offending area? Or am I getting(?) confused?

Congratulations anyway to everyone . We've achieved 43 years but he says I'm just a bad habit he can't shake.

Granjura we got engaged after 5 weeks but, as we both lived in Leicester, we didn't have your excuse!

44 years next month, I was 17 he was 20 and they said it wouldnt last! Though I have to say seperate bedrooms work for us. His snoring would have seen me off years ago otherwise! I just hope we survive retirement if it ever comes, though come to think of it I don't think I could train up another one now! Better the devil you know and all that.

First time was 25 years, and second time was 18 months.
I suppose I was always going to have two.....I'm a Gemini, I have two of everything

I was 17 and he was 24. I am now 55 and he 62 so that is .......um.......38 years together! We married in 1983, so 30 years married next May.

8 years for my first marriage and twenty seven years for my second that makes 35 years altogether! If we add in my husband's first marriage of 18 years we have a grand total of 53 years! WOW!

Nanaej - 41 years here too. 29th May 71 for us. But we only knew each other for less than 5 months. A crazy story. The only way to be together in these pre- EU/Shengen days, was to get married.

We had our Diamond Wedding Anniversary this year, as did a group of friends, 1952 seemed to be a good year to get married, but then of course we all tend to be friends with people our own age. It no longer seems to be unusual for people to be married for 50 or 60 years, obviously we are all living longer and divorce was not easy in our younger days. Ours has been a basically happy relationship, two lovely children, two equally lovely grand-children and a son-in-law I would have chosen myself. Bit grumpy with each other these days, just because we cannot do all that we used to and would like to, but we keep reminding ourselves that at least we still have each other - one of our 'diamond' group has just died, which has made us quite sad. Having said that, there were of course times when I could quite willing have murdered the other half!
