Paul, you are so cute!

(I knew you'd love that.)

Seriously, you guys are my favourite pair of old wrinklies. Hope to be like you when I (finally) grow up.

Oh. Er. No-one is to mention the alternative meaning for 'pair of old wrinklies'.

But I'm going to leave it up for the humour value. *blush*

Congrats Paul and Vicky.

Congrats Paul! 25 years eh? If im not mistaken thats how old you bike is too? You guy's were married the year I was born, great year 1980!

Congrats, Paul on 25 years! My wife and I have just celebrated our 28th! Agree with your sentiments about marriage, yes we've had some rough times but I have to confess to being very happily married to a woman who flatly refuses to age! And we have 3 grown up children who make for a very close family! Though she prefers her air-conditioned steriophonic comfort these days, she supports my becoming one of those middle-aged returning bikers and encourages me to enjoy my old '89 GSX600F as often as poss.

Old Wrinklies..... froth gurgle (nurse - wheres me heart pills) gasp... Damn cheek of the woman... One should realise that a man of my spherical nature is most unlikely to have wrinkles. All nicely filled out thanks...

Any yes... That post was entirely aimed at avoiding an expensive card for Vicki....

BUT.... As more than a few of you have also noted, as time goes by we are settling into a very comfortable pattern of increasing respect and love (if these are the right words - probably not). I never would have thought this possible but it happens.

Trust me... I'm as surprised as anyone...

Congratulations Paul and Vicki, 25 years married to the same person is a great achievement today. On Saturday we will have been married eight months so we've got a way to catch up! Mind you, if I had married at the same age as my mother, by now I would have been married for 26 years and have four kids and two grandchildren - shit, that's scary!

Good on ya Paul and Vicki.

I'm heading for three years on the 23rd, but of course Gini and I are both re-treads.

Congratulations, Paul and Vicki! I'm glad you're so happy, and I understand everything you said, Paul.

Best wishes for the next quarter century!
