    28 years

    Twenty-eight years ago, LOML and I married ten years after our first date. It was -20 degrees that day in the midwest. We have been together through thick and thin. I'd do it again.

    Congratulations,

    Not everyone is lucky enough to find their soulmate. True love and devotion is rare these days. All the best for many years to come.

    Enjoy your special day.

    Take Care and Enjoy Life...

    Enjoy Life...

    Congrats Shawn!
    LOML & I will have 27 this August, 2 years from the day we met. It was a beautiful fall day in Lake Tahoe.
    Please help support the Creek.

    I'm still surprised she hasn't smothered me in my sleep

    Shawn....that's kind of the attitude I have. This year we'll celebrate 47 years together. I am surprised I found someone who would put up with me.

    Nice to know, but irrelevant. Would SHE do it again?

    This may be the answer to my question above............

    Seriously - my very best, Shawn. We have been married since just after you two started dating. I think that in the past 5 years or so, I have started to get this "marriage" thing figured out. Not sure I would get a unanimous vote in the house, but......
    When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.

    Shawn- not difficult to comprehend your long term relationship. Many of your posts contain something nice to relate about your LOYL and/or your relationship. Congrats. I'm on wife number 3 and think I finally have the right one. Again, my most sincere congratulations.
    always - Bill

    Shawn, wise move getting married on Valentines Day. Easier to remember, one gift, and major romance points.
