How many years wed?

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.

Willow thank you!

cornergran Happy Anniversary to you and I hope you had a lovely day too. 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! I think it was the skirt of my wedding dress trapping hot air that kept me warm.

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.

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.

Oh that's so sweet Willow???

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 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!

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

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!

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 ]

14 years. 14th January 2002.

We have both entered our ninth decade of life.

I love this question. People who ask it, who don't know us well, usually want to add a few extra figures, make the 1 into 6, or similar. I love the look on their faces.

We were celebrating our 5th anniversary with a weekend away, and we went to the local church. The vicar afterwards asked us how long. I loved the look on his face. You could almost see the cogs turning in his brain. He wanted so much to add a 0 to the 5....

Married 30 years ago today. There was snow on the ground, but I didn't feel the cold because I was glowing.

The car we hired to go on our honeymoon broke down on the way to the Lake District and we ended up back in Coventry the next day to collect another car. The whole hire car thing turned into a bit of a saga, but we'll always think of the driver of the recovery vehicle with kindness because he was our hero that weekend. The kindness of strangers...

44 years plus nearly 6 years together before getting married. Met him when I was 16.

43 years. 44 in August this year. The has helped me through.

47 years toorrow. We met at work, married quite quickly. Yes there are irritations, I'm sure I drive him demented some days, but we still love being with each other, just doing simple things gives us great pleasure.

Dear Numberplease - we have been married 48 years and together for 49. I usually reply to people who ask how you stay married for so long that ' you don't talk about divorce'. I liked the quip in last night's The Night Manager: 'it's marriage, not wedded bliss'.

Congratulations to all!

Fifty years ............... sigh ...........

8 years and counting, this time around. The first lasted ..... stops to remember... 30 years before I finally had enough of his philandering ways - took me long enough!

51 years last January. 99% all good I would say Would marry him again anyway

Congrats numberplease.

We've been married for 49 years in March 2016.

Someone knocked at the door. I opened it. there stood a broad shoulders, fit young man, with blue eyes. My first thought was how *soft and kissable his lips looked. He'd come to see someone else. Four of us were house sharing.

We had our first date two months later. At the end of April snow was still thick, well, up to the top of my gum boots. One evening we were supposed to have a date he as late. I found out he couldn't get his car out of the village, so he walked eight miles to see me*. We fed him, but he couldn't stay the night as so he had an early start, or so he said. He walked home, across the snowy fields, with a torch and no moon. estimation.

He usually grins when I tell that story and says, "Love can blow you further than gun powder."

Congratulations! It's the togetherness that makes it work (him upstairs on the Playstation and you downstairs on your laptop!!! We've been together 41 years.

Congratulations numberplease for sticking it for another year.

Thanks for your good wishes NanKate. It is indeed the big one next year, twice as big as we are both seventy. Goodness knows how that happened.

I forgot to mention that we clocked up 52 years on Monday, the 13th. Don`t know wat I did to deserve that long a sentence,lol!

Congrats Juliette it is the BIG one next year.

DH and I managed to clock up 49 years yesterday. We met at the Youth Club in 1963 and were married three years later. Just a couple of kids really.

Apologies Boggles. Pompa you are for the naughty step.

Have a great celebration Gagagran you've earned it.
