    Default 31 years and counting.

    July 16th is Donna's and my 31st wedding anniversary.

    Most people think I'm only 31 years old, however I am old enough to be married to my wonderful wife (she's put up with me for 31 years!) for 31 years (in a row).

    She is touching the sun much in the same way she touched my heart so many years ago.

    PS If anyone tells her I posted this, I'm a dead man!

    I can still remember when you got married James. And I can remember when you shot my wedding with Paul Howard. I know how you feel. when you get a winner, nothing else comes close to what you have. Keep her close and give her lots of love my friend. Congratulations.

    Wow! We have the same anniversary date James. Only I'm at 14 years.
    What a wonderful picture and what a lovely sentiment with her touching the sun.
    Beautiful woman you have there. Keep her close.
    Happy Anniversary to you both.

    Respectfully,

    Wow, what a great post to see first thing this morning! Congratulations to you and Donna, James. Isn't it amazing how fast the years go? IMHO, the years together get better and better as they go on...I celebrated my 23rd anniversary in May!

    All the best to you and your beautiful bride, and all good wishes for many more years of happiness together!

    Knowing both of you for most of my life, it's clear that she was hood winked, bamboozled, and clearly unaware of what she was getting into! Congrats!
