Congratulations! That is what happens when you find you true soulmate. Nothing comes between you and you will live happily ever after.

Hubbie and I just had our 38th anniversary last month. I don't know what I would do without him.

Time goes so quickly. Our 47th is this Tuesday. Staying married is a major accomplishment these days, but so worth it. Cannot imagine any other life. Congratulations my friend. I can't think of a better way to celebrate than "Death by Chocolate". I will keep that in mind for our special day. Hugs.

28 years! Congrats., that's wonderful. Good marriages are hard to fin these days. Ours will be 38 years old this year and, to think, back in 1971 I could never have even imagined such a time-span.

Well done, you look wonderful both of you.
