Today Is My 50th Anniversary

Who would have believed that a marriage between two teenagers still in high school would have lasted 50 years. Everyone from my friends, teachers, and family said it wouldn't last 6 months, and since that time my marriage has outlasted all the naysayers ... many of whom are on their second or third marriage.
We got married in 1967 and like most lovesick teenagers we had "our song" ... which actually ended up being two songs .., "Happy Together" by The Turtles and "Cherish" by The Association. And to this day I still get a lump in my throat when I hear the tunes and realize how important they were to us at the time.
And now 50 years later we're both still "Happy Together".

Meanwhile, how old were you, @ghostsofpompeii, when you were married?
"F" the naysayers, screw people that don't wish you well. Awesome accomplishment Joe!
Congrats Ghost, if you and your wife are still in love half as much as my wife and I after almost 43 years, you are a blessed couple. I hope and pray you get at least 50 more years together (if you don't spend too much on pipes and tobaccos....we all know what that can cause.
