The Point to Marriage

[EternalOptimist]

The whole point of a man being alive is to spread his seed amongst the dollies, drink beer and spend quality time with his mates and family.
The whole point of a wife is to make sure he doesn't do any of that stuff

Spooky, that is the same date as BGG & I

Not that spooky. There's at most 53 Saturdays a year and the summer is a quite popular.

4th August. Very, very hot. (Hottest day on record at the time) Rivulets of sweat running down inside my wedding dress. Nice.

Careful - you'll excite some of the residents...

21st July was pretty hot as well. By 4th August we were driving up and down the country going to job interviews - we'd both just graduated.

Are you planning something romantic?

We had planned throwing a big party at a country house near where we got married, inviting all the guests who'd been there the first time plus a few others. But then we decided to do something more our scale - we're going to the UK for the last two weeks of July. We'll visit the church we were married in and various guests that we're still in contact with, including some we've not seen since the wedding (including my wife's best friend from school).

The strange thing about meeting people you've not seen for 25 years is how much they've aged. Because, obviously, I haven't. Nor has Mrs NAT.

Apparently about 60% of all marriages do last until the death of one spouse, in the UK.

Good ol' Board Game Geek! What happened to him? He married you?

He got a life & I married him, not the other way around

I see Ballad of Halo Jones is mentioned on Board Game Geek website.

Vampirism working for you then?

Dunno. I can't look in a mirror.

Hubris alert ....

possibly

but everyone male on here seems so miserable abut their chances.

I prefer to think I can succeed and work at it.

Most people in our family seem to stay married. In the circle of friends the ones that get divorced are rarely a surprise.
