Our wedding was done so cheap I’m surprised they didn’t give us money to turn up. but here we are 35 years on and still going strong. ❤
Congratulations, that's the first of the 'big' anniversaries so will you be doing something special, even in these restrictive times?My proposal was in a pub visiting Kings Lynne one lunchtime before meeting the inlaws, he just a muttered 'I've been thinking maybe you and I should get engaged'- my heart leaped and my head said, is this the big moment. It was LOL, 25 years married -29th of this month.
Our younger daughter's wedding day was the best day of my life. However, weddings are moments & it's the commitment of marriage that is important. My wonderful grandmother's favourite saying was 'the magic of ordinary days' & still going strong after 35 years is proof of a great deal of magic.Our wedding was done so cheap I’m surprised they didn’t give us money to turn up. but here we are 35 years on and still going strong. ❤

Oh some lovely stories! I was married briefly some 40 plus years ago, I honestly cannot remember a proposal! maybe my mind has blanked it out! Have never had another and at 73 will not be looking, but pleased for some romance is out there!
I loved the 80s, ankle warmers & George. Wham! now in my headYes T I agree, it’s the commitment that’s the main thing. Our two sons and daughters in law spent a fortune on their wedding and I can understand why, it’s something you only do once so you want that memory to be the best it can possibly be and we had an amazing day, saying that, it doesn’t detract from the people who can’t, or don’t, want a huge expensive wedding, the sentiment is exactly the same. In the early 80s me and the husband would’ve got away with some neon ankle warmers and a neon “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go” T-shirt
Best decision, if it ain't broke don't fix it.My OH of 15 years sometimes hints at marriage, then we realise it would be far too complicated, what with 2 houses, 6 children, wills, lasting powers of attorney, separate pensions (which would drastically reduce) and lots of other complications.
And it is also good to get some breathing space in our own houses (10 miles apart) when needed.
Me neither.SF nothing wrong with that, if me and the husband would’ve split I wouldn’t be arsed getting another one either. ❤ xx
Breathing space is a luxury not to be understated.My OH of 15 years sometimes hints at marriage, then we realise it would be far too complicated, what with 2 houses, 6 children, wills, lasting powers of attorney, separate pensions (which would drastically reduce) and lots of other complications.

In a word NO tho not a problem for us. We were but its too close to Bank Holiday and not sure where to go so we are saving up to go somewhere nice when life is semi back to normal.Congratulations, that's the first of the 'big' anniversaries so will you be doing something special, even in these restrictive times?
I'm with you on that Twilight, I don't like Alex Kramer either, nothing to do with her presenting skills although she does seem to shout, but I too think she would probably be the girl to avoid at school unless you were in her gang. As for Andi Peters, he's always made my skin crawl.You're much nicer than me, she's 40 & should have grown up decades ago because there's a big difference between being childlike & childish. I can't stand Knuckles Kramer & Andi Peters makes my skin crawl.

Best of both worlds..... Modern day named ‘friends with benefits’
No seriously no one’s business just so long as your both happy.
