On this day

[Rustyt1953]

35 years ago, I said "I do" and hit the love lottery.

We are more in love now than at any time in the past. As I've said before; we still hold hands. We play footsies at restaurants. I watch her walk across a room and my heart flutters (it does anyway but I choose to believe It's her). I catch myself watching her sleep.

She is tender and cries easily. She is strong enough to bend but not break. She is a wonderful listener and I can make her laugh with only a look. My kids and grandkids could not ask for a better mom/nana.

When Foreigner said: "I wanna know what love is" all they had to do was ask me.


Back in my Jheri Curl days:

[Rustyt1953]

John, I want my hair back too.

 

[Iggy]

Congratulations.
She looks like the kind of gal that is your best friend too.
I got me one of those.
You can love someone, but if they ain't your best friend, life can be miserable.

 

[Rustyt1953]

Iggy, she is indeed my best friend. She cannot drink as she has a deformed horseshoe kidney but there are few people more fun to sit next to at a bar than she.

Congratulations, the second 35 will be a breeze for sure.

 

[bigwheelzip]

Congratulations to both of you. I wish you many more happy and healthy years together.

Congratulations! Those of us, as you say "Hit the Love Lottery", It isn't so much of falling more in love each day; It's more like everyday becoming the same person. Knowing without asking, and doing without asking. Those things you mentioned, watching, listening, staring, or just absorbing; that is the being a couple. My wife had a number of great aunts and uncles, that lived in that state for over 50 years. Watching them "Do Life" together for years was amazing! They knew everything in the universe about each other, yet every day was a big bright surprise together!

For you and Ruthie, may you long continue to walk in that big bright surprise!

Ivan & Diane

Congratulations, I think you both did well.
I think Orleans about say it for me and mine


We've been together since way back when
Sometimes I never want to see you again
But I want you to know
After all these years
You're still the one
I want whisperin' in my ear

You're still the one
I want to talk to in bed
Still the one
That turns my head
We're still having fun
And you're still the one

I looked at your face every day
But I never saw it 'til I went away
When winter came
I just wanted to go (wanted to go)
Deep in the desert
I longed for the snow

You're still the one
That makes me laugh
Still the one
That's my better half
We're still having fun
And you're still the one
You're still the one
That makes me strong
Still the one
I want to take along
We're still having fun
And you're still the one (yes you are)

[Musical Interlude]

Changing, our love is going gold
Even though we grow old, it grows new

You're still the one
That I love to touch
Still the one
And I can't get enough
We're still having fun
And you're still the one

You're still the one
Who can scratch my itch
Still the one
And I wouldn't switch
We're still having fun
And you're still the one
You are still the one
That makes me shout
Still the one
That I dream about
We're still having fun
And you're still the one

You're still the one
Yeah, still the one
We're still having fun
And you're still the one

Hardy congratulations to a really cool couple and a serious role models for all newly weds to emulate.

 

[snubbyfan]

Congratulations on your Anniversary. It's truly a blessing for a person to spend their existence with someone they truly love and cherish.

People ask if it was love at first sight when I met the woman who was to become my wife. I tell them it was more like relief. "'Bout time you showed up." I just knew she was the one I was meant to spend the rest of my life with.

My hair usta be thick and long. I could tuck into the back of my trousers. Now it's gettin' kinda thin and goes just past my shoulders.
I miss my hair.

Congratulations, Rusty, I feel the same way about my wife. Only pushing 32 years, though.
