Reply to: The Point to Marriage

[cojak]

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

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.

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.

How womantic! 😍

[vetran]

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.

Dunno. I can't look in a mirror.

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.

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

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).

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

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

In his case he's dreaming of building a house Walter Mitty style

FTFY

You're meant to build the patio afterwards.

Women. Can't live with 'em, can't bury them under the patio.

After spending the last 25 Crimbo’s with BGG he made this comment today:

Marriage is good for many things, not least of which it keeps either of us out of prison or the loony bin

So true.

Hmm. 1990 was obviously a good year. 21st July 2015, me and Mrs NAT, 25 years.

Definitely spooky. 25 years in April for Frau D., although we haven't quite got round to the legal niceties yet, and me grey
