How Long is Long?
 

Hearing it's Mr. & Mrs. WildIrish's 15th wedding anniversary ( Happy Anniversary! :cake::hump::cake: ) I started wondering when you hear people have been together for _____ many years does it make you think..."geez that's a long time"??? In today's climate of serial monogamy what is a long length of time for a realtionship, from your point of view?

Lilith,

A lifetime.

Two nights! :jester:


Congrats to you and the saintly missus, WI! :cheers:

And Irish and his wife just celebrated 40 years of wedded bliss in May!

I used to think that about ten years, then fifteen, now it's twenty. I raise it so I don't have to think about "damn have I been married a long time!". ha ha

Isn't long when it's been longer than you can bear?

My 18 years with my ex went like a bullet.

Is it a good idea to eat chili for lunch today? :yikes:

I always figured 5 years was a long time, till I got there...now it's 10. (We're nearly at 9).

But it raises a question I've always had...when you say you've been together for a long time, how do you count it? Dating? Sleeping together (if different, <blush>)? Living together? Married?

......about as long as a piece of string :p


happy anniversary to WI and his beautiful wife
here's to many more.... "a life of years, free of tears..." :wine:

As long as we're having sex...she'll be crying. Lmfao


TY wyndhy. :x:

WildIrish,

Congratulations, sir! Here's to you and yours and many more! :wine:

All I can say is...

Happy Anniversary to you and the Missus WI!!! :wine:

Thanks Jseal...and thank you Aqua

We'll hoist a few for you tonight.

I just recently (a few weeks ago) heard the sweetest story about just this subject.

A couple in England, by the last name of Aerosmith (yoooohooo!) were documented by the Guinness <sp?> people as being the oldest living married couple on the planet. The reason the story had aired is because, at 104 y/o, Mr. Aerosmith had died after 80 years of bliss with Mrs. Aerosmith. She is 102 y/o...and I am saddened to think that she'll not last much longer after losing the love of her life...and everyone else's life who had come and gone before them!

He'd given a statement as to the longevity of their marriage..."I say Yes Dear a lot"!

Everyone say...Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Happy Anniversary WI and Mrs. WI! May the next 65+ years be as wonderful!

Congrats on 15 years WI! :line:

This is REAL spooky y'know; I got married to my Ex on the SAME day as you and Mrs WI tied the knot - July 14 1990.
In my case, I've thought for a while now that it being "Bastille Day" in France was quite appropriate for us, given how often we fought!!

Anyhow, I digress - hope you two had a fuck-tastic day/night...... and here's to many more years together!!

Cheers.

my grandparent where together 60 years before they died, that is impressive to me. my parents i think have 30 years, seems so long but seems to go so fast.

Congrats to Mr. & Mrs. WildIrish!!!!

Can you believe that Lou n I have been together for 2 years and 6 months oh and about 4 days, 7 n half hours.........ish :D

Gracias Lixy! Leave it to you to find a story about a guy named Aerosmith. lmfao

Thanks DM...and coincidentally enough, the cards I get for Mrs. WI aren't anniversary cards. I give her nice cards that express my feelings for her, and at the bottom I write in "Happy Bastille Day".

East - My grandparents were married 62 years when my grandfather passed away. I agree with you, it is remarkable isn't it?

Fussy - thanks for the congrats! I love how much you and Lou love each other. It's great to see.

Congrats WI
 

Congratulations,
I hope you have many more years together. Lixy got me to thinking. I say"Yes dear" alot too, 13 years isn't bad for two kids married while one is in high school and the other shipping overseas for the first year of marriage.

How long is long? It's only "long" when you find you're no longer excited to come home to him/her.

I -- personally -- am hoping for eternity. Mr. Osuche and I have been dating now since September 1994 -- just under 11 happy years.

(((((WI)))))) congrats

My 30th anniversary passed by rather quietly back in March...certainly seems like a long time to me, considering that we're both very different people now than when we were pronounced by the judge...also, in light of a recent developement, just re-established contact with an old friend/bandmate, who had married just a year before me, tells me how his divorce just became final...

Congrats Mr. and Mrs. WI

How long is long, is 29 long enough?

Forever is a long time
