19 Years
19 years ago I married the love of my life. We've been together much longer than that, though, since I was a sophomore in high school 26 years ago.She was a senior cheerleader at another school, I was a skinny punk who drove a 10 year old station wagon and worked as a fry cook at Grandy's, but I had big dreams. I met her the very first weekend I had a license to drive, at the age of fifteen.
We met at a McDonald's, believe it or not. I eventually followed her to college, and she hasn't been able to get rid of me ever since the first night we met.
Happy anniversary, sweetie.

Happy Anniversary!!
Congratulations! It is so nice to know that true love really does exist somewhere. It gives the rest of us (me) hope!
What a sweet toast! Good for you... cynicism hasn't won! (I read this to my husband and he asked if I was going to write something similar to him on my blog for our 3rd year anniversary on Friday - heh).
Awww! Congratulations on the "bronze" anniversary!
whitecap nurse says: Hey congratulations! I like to see long marriages these days. Coincidentally, my sweetie & I celebrate our 19th tomorrow (June 4th) - which will also be my parents 48th! (and, sadly, the 19th annvy. of Tiananmen Square as well)
Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!
How sweet Scalpel. Sounds like you're both blessed to have each other. :)
Darn...I wish I could see the photo-my computer is blocking it.
It sounds like you both met the love of your life. So many marriages break up today. Any pearls of wisdom/insights you care to share on how to overcome obstacles that may arise and stay intact? What do you think you did right?
Hotcakes, catfish and okra...sounds southern to me. :)
Happy Anniversary! :)
Happy Anniversary.
It is really something that you both stuck together through finishing school and studying to become a doctor, not to mention the long hours in the early years after qualification.
And then 17 years of marriage too.
Happy Anniversary!
Congratulations! Enjoy your anniversary!

Nice.
Congratulations, Dr. & Mrs. Scalpel. And I wish you many, many happy returns of the day.
Scalpel,
Congrats on your anniv.
My Dr. Mrs. and I had our 2nd anniv. yesterday (6/3), and we've made it through a helluva lot of rough times (our wedding was the disaster to end all disasters, and no matter what anyone says, nothing will ever be as bad as ours!).
Hopefully we can be married as long as you!
Congratulations! I love you both. For the record, you were never a punk.
Any advice I could give would sound trite, but I think the most important thing is to choose well.
If you truly love each other, then rough times are just like a spell of bad weather that eventually will pass. A marriage is like a home - comforting but sometimes aggravating, requiring frequent maintenance else the rough times destroy it, but ultimately something beautiful if nurtured and a disaster if neglected. And of course the most important part is the foundation. Choose well.
Thanks for that advice Scalpel. I showed my husband...he looked deep into my eyes and said "baby, I'm glad I chose well" and then gave me a kiss that took my breath away.
*tears up*
Congratulations! It's good to know that people can still make it work, if they're willing to try.
Well said Scalpel and I agree with you. Foundation is key.
I would also add as someone who has come through rough times in a marriage...hold on...you CAN come through to the other side. We will be married 33 years in October. :)
Thanks for sharing that Scalpel and congratulations again to both of you. :)
Wunderbar!
You're giving me flashbacks to my greasy-restaurant waitress days. I'm still friends with some of the people I worked with there when I was 15-18 years old. Good times, except for always having to go on "mouse patrol" in the basement.
The difference is that no one there really had big dreams other than to smoke the most bowls in a single day or see how much you could drink and still make it on time to work in the morning.
Happy anniversary! Does this post count as the gift?
Happy Anniversary!
If you have true love, you don't need fancy gifts. Hehehe.
Happy Anniversery Dr.and Mrs.Scalpel! My 10th is coming up at the end of the month. I can't remember what it was like to not be married. Bet you can't either.
many happy returns my friend. turns out we are nearly the same age. let me roll back the memory machine... when you and i were in high school 'highway to hell' and 'back in black' came out, and it was the only thing the football team played before games. close?
Yup, and MTV was born.
