Been married 25 years today

[Oakie]

27 Feb 1982 Mrs Oakie and I got married.
I took the day off work today so we could have the day together and celebrate. We were going to have a champagne breakfast but decided that the bubbly wouldn't go that well with toast and muesli so we had it with lunch instead.
How did we celebrate? We went and got matching tatoos of our linked initials with a wee '25' at the side as per the attachment. Most cool!
Still got the major celebration coming up when we head off to Samoa in June for 9 days to mark the 25 years.
Now looking forward to the next 25 years.:love:

[yungatart]

Congrats!
In this day and age 25 years is a remarkable achievement, well done!

[Hawkeye]

Congrats on reaching the Silver. Cool Tatoo's.

I've got a similar thing happening later in the year. '82' must have been a good year :yes:
I don't think I could persuade my better half to go that far though!

Beatcha 30 years on 26th feb (yesterday) she is in Rotorua tonight I head off to March hare Thursday thats how you make it last. The less you are around the less pain ie less tatts. Joint accounts helps me ( she doesn't have access to my account and earns twice mine but I have unlimited access to the joint account) I really love that. I've got a bike and she fuc.in trusts me go figure

[Paul in NZ]

Good for you guys - bloody well done...

[98tls]

Congrats..............have an awsome day both of you.

[jrandom]

matching tatoos of our linked initials

Oooh, that's an awesome idea. So much more 'repurposeable' after you break up. I was going to get Mrs Fish's first name tattooed on my shoulder, but I think I'll go with her initials...

WELL DONE!!! It's a rare thing these days guys!!!Some people can't hack the hard work!!!

[Grahameeboy]

That's cool.......congrats guys.

[doc]

WELL DONE!!! It's a rare thing these days guys!!!Some people can't hack the hard work!!!It is hard work and it is disappointing when your friends don't last the distance you wonder what you have got that made it last. I believe in respect and ....... can't think of the word where you haven't strayed. Opposite to indidelity I think. Love is for newlweds

[Scorpygirl]

Congratulations on a great achievement!!!! :yes:

[Curious_AJ]

Good on you - now you've got 25 years to design the next tat!

[Detroitdiesel]

Well done!25 years, thats awesome. I have just celebrated our 21st Anniversary last weekend with a ride to Mt Cook and back, Scenery was indescribable and the weather was almost too hot for riding in the Makenzie basin. I hope you both have another 25 years togethor.

[Oakie]

Actually I suggested a piercing for our 50th. The response was clear and in the negative!

Ahh, the Mount Cook Road. Must have travelled that road about 1200 times in the 7 1/2 years I worked at Mount Cook. Most of it unfortunately in a bus and never once on a bike though. Always thought it would be a great bike road as well as the bit from Tekapo to the Mount Cook turnoff at Lake Pukaki.

[Detroitdiesel]

The road is a must do if you have a bike and a camera I nearly crashed while not looking where I was riding as I was looking at Mt Cook with no clouds and lake Pukaki was a mirror it was so distracting I had to pull over and stop.

[scumdog]

Congrats!
Only 20 years to go for CB and I!!!

Of course we've known each other for 33 years so far - if that counts for anything.

[Edbear]

Congrats!

[vifferman]

Congratulations to you two!
Well done.

The vifferbabe and I will reach 25 this September, and 30 years together exactly one year from today!

[ManDownUnder]

The tat's are cool but don't begin to rate alongside 25 years of marriage.

Congrats and respect! Awesome guys - have a good'un

[ceebie13]

Very many congratulations to you both.:rockon:

I've been married 34 years this year, but it wasn't to the same woman!!

Which reminds me of that famous one-liner, "How many wives have you had?" Answer, "Several, but I wasn't married to them all!"

[doc]

Congrats!
Only 20 years to go for CB and I!!!

Of course we've known each other for 33 years so far - if that counts for anything.She took that long to say yes huh ?

[doc]

:yes:
Faith is important also. I have faith that one day Dover will bring home a man for you to settle down with.

[Oakie]

Oakie the opposite of infidelity is SMITTEN.....after all those years you two are still as hooked on each other !!!!:yes: Love the tats too :rockon:

Yeah. I'm pleased to say that it's still fun after all these years and that we would rather be in each other's company rather than 'go out with the boys/girls'.
We've almost become like one organism instead of two and of course we've been thinking or saying the same thing at the same time for years. What is new over the past year though is me going to check my cell phone to see if there is a TXT from Mrs Oakie ... and a TXT arrives from her just as I pick it up. That is freaky!

[scumdog]

She took that long to say yes huh ?
I suppose you COULD say that - but there WAS a long gap in the middle where we went different ways.:(

[Oakie]

ALT EDIT ...
Married 30 years now! Can't believe it's been 5 years since I started this thread. Had a nice meal out and have a bottle of Deutz to open as soon as I get my arse off this PC. Happy days!

Fabulous...now go and get your arse off the computer and see to your lovely wife!

Congratulations to you both, BTW!

Once you hit 30 years, you're to old to start again anyway, you may as well resign yourself to life together... :whistle:

Congratulations! And if personal experience is anything to go by it can only get better too! 35 for us this Oct. :love:

[meteor]

20 yrs on the 7/3 for me... where does the time go?
