        Clue is in the title… Married 22 years today. Good wife. Better half. Always made a great model. Always will.

          Chris and ?, congratulations!
          I guess it is going a to be a distant celebration, you in Irak and your wife in your homeland. Have an Arak and cheers.

          22 years, wanted to say that’s a long time but realize that my fantastic wife Miriam (who makes me happy every day) and I are in 6 weeks also 22 years together, although only married for 12.

          Miriam complains that I do not have decent photos her. She is right because most in of our photo’s she is wearing a motorcycle outfit, including helmet 🙂

              Cool! My wife will ride pillion but not go up front. We had great holidays, biking, but they are in abeyance while we raise children. Still have the same bike for 18 years as well. I like longevity, reliability, familiarity in all things, so it seems. 🙂

                Cute Guys! It took my partner of 24 years to decide that I couldn’t actually give her what she needed!

                Onward and upward!

                    Yikes! Not sure what to say to that.. Let’s get a beer the next time I’m in southern Spain! That is definitely a beer conversation.

                      Course I’d find it really difficult to chair between these two:

                            Impossible to choose although I think the 2nd one gets away with more mischief than the eldest (IME, anyway)!

                                Sorry to hear that Alan.
                                It looks like you had a great 45 years together.

                                  That’s a great run Alan you’re a lucky man. Though I’m sure she still lives in your heart and isn’t completely lost.

                                        Wow man! So sorry! Glad you’ve had quite a few years together – and that you’ve taken shots like this to remember her by!

                                                  Well with those looks you don’t have to look elsewhere for a model, David! Perfect lighting in this one!

                                                    I just love all of the shots above! I do not think any of us really appreciate how fortunate we are to have these people in our lives!

                                                    Married 37 years (started dating early in secondary school – I guess you call that a ‘soul mate’?) and 4 years ago this light of our lives made her appearance. Here she’s showing off a dress that grandma has made for her.

                                                        45 years? 37 years? Erik with another 22. Now I feel like a beginner. But fortunate also.
