Sometimes it seems like forever, sometimes it seems like less than a month.

The Wife and I just celebrated 27 years of marriage. It's been full of laughter and tears. Great times and miserable times. It's been work and play. The good, by far, outweighs the bad and if I had it to do over again I wouldn't change a thing.

I wouldn't be where I am today without her.

PS: For our first anniversary I gave her one rose. Then two for the next. You can see where this is going. Just as an FYI, it's a bad tradition to start. I had to buy 3 dozen roses to get 27 this afternoon. That adds up in a hurry.

FYI, if you get her a fake rose/flower each year not only does it last forever but it will always look good.

Congrats, sad thing is this is nothing short of how long I've been alive.

Just be thankful you didn't get married on Valenties Day.

Oh, and major congrats!

Anybody who can put up with you for 27 years should be the next Pope. Congratulations, give her a hug for me!

Congrats to all you rookies.

Been over 31 years for me and SWMBO. She's my second marriage too. First was very short. And I guess we're old. Wouldn't be able to find someone else that has and will put up with some of what I put her through and she still hangs around.

Nice! Grats dude!!! 10 years in June. 15 years total. Pretty sure she'll wake up any day now and realize what a horrible mistake she's made though.
