My wife dredged up the worldly remains of our album. It got wet, somehow. And I didn't recognize any one. Well I figured out she was the skinny babe in the wedding dress. I was the fool standing up front with her. Then the reception. We were poor back then. I was a student still and she'd just finished her first year of nursing. I figured out who her sister was, but we never got along. And my brother, he always had a sour look.

So a hint: label the photos when you still know who the folks are. At least if you care. You may not 50 years in the future. My mother gave us her album. It only suffers time damage. Color photos suck. They fade in just half a century. Go figure. I pay for supper tomorrow night. She didn't want to have a dinner, too expensive. But I pushed the issue and won/lost.

Only having sons and their family. I'm cheap too. Current count is either 12 or 13 total. I don't care if each eats filet. I know the grand kids won't. If I get to sit next to one, it'll be a win.

Congrats, 50 years is my goal, this year I’ll hit 30. I was so poor when I got married that it was by JP. I could barely afford decent clothes to wear to that.

Congratulations!

We're at 45 and counting.

Probably have a pizza on our 50th, party animals that we are...

CONGRATULATIONS!

As for damage to the photo album, the technology today is incredible for what they can do to restore damaged photos. Maybe pick out her favorite or two and have them restored, framed for a gift?

Congratulations on the first 50.

That's quite an accomplishment. Congratulations!

This from a retired mustang Naval officer whose constant family separations (deployments, etc.) weighed heavily on his marriage. Not uncommon at all for that career path sadly.

Congratulations..... We are working on 48yrs. not sure but if I ask the wife I am sure she will tell me. ........................drill sgt.

Congrats,newly weds. 69 years ago today we exited the church under an arch of swords.

Congrats. The wife and I have been married 58 years. But only 3 to each other.

congrats,

sunday is 23 years for my wife and I.

Congratulations! We just hit 22 this year, so we have a ways to go to catch up.

Congratulations to the both of you.

For us it will be 35 this July.

Congratulations! We hit 33 years just last month. Boy were we skinny young’uns back then. Lol

The US Census Bureau claims only 5% of marriages last 50 years. We’re at 46 and counting.

Congratulations

Happy Anniversary!

31+ and I was a late bloomer.
Didn't want to do it more than once if I could help it so I waited a while.

Happy Anniversary! Mrs 12GA and I have 20 years to go to reach that milestone.

Congratulations sir. We celebrated our 50th back on the 28th of February. I had been in Vietnam and my wife is very fair skinned. I was very dark in the photo and she wasn't.

Most of the folks in the pictures are gone now. My brother, her brothers and the maid of honor are all still around.

We took a cruise around the Hawaiian Islands to celebrate and took our daughter with us. We were lucky we got home right ahead of the virus.

Only 5% make it for 50 years? Wonder where they got that number? And how many make it to 51?

Anyway.... She remembers a lot that I don't. I've spent most of the last 50 drinking and trying to forget, but don't tell her. Back to the pix.. I did recognize my own father. He was 59 and only made it another 10. I never liked her sister, and I recognized her. After a while I figured out who her father was. The problem was I was seen in public kissing her. It even looked like she was kissing me back! I think she liked me back then (but I may be mistaken).
