I (25 and sworn Batchelor) married my wonderful wife (19 and looked after me in a navy hospital).   It has had its challenges but overall has been a great part of my life.  Three sons complete the family.

Well done. A bit envious VIC.
Congratulations 🎊  if its an anniversary?

Keep your legs together.  ;)

Sincere congratulations.

Congrats Vic! Another 2 years and you celebrate your golden!
We had ours in April … can’t believe 50 years!
Someone asked me how. I said “tolerance”  ;D

Cheeses!  Everywhere I go nowadays, I lower the average age!

Cheers, both ya big ears, Vic and Soph! Sticking it for (nearly) 50 years is a credit to your spouses...   :P

I turned 47 nearly 6 months ago. I got to 35 years of age before I finally decided that I had been hurt too many times to really develop a committed relationship. Most of the relationships I have had were just short-term.

But I guess the pressure is now off and I could get back into the dating scene. My daughters have gotten into their teens and early 20s. And it is a bit of an embarrassment to be single for too long.

Hey Vic, there’s these special celebrative newspaper posters with interesting information about that certain year. This is an example in this link.

Congratulations Vic and Lady Vic. May you be blessed with many more years together.
