Ten years ago to this very day, Jane and I decided to become a couple. It seems like less, maybe six or seven years, but it’s been the best ten years of my life. She is beautiful, and I love her so much. I can’t begin to contemplate what a horrible direction my life would have taken if it weren’t for this magnificent woman.
We’ve been engaged for about seven years, and we’re hoping to get married this year or the next, but to be honest, we’re pretty committed to each other and we don’t feel that standing up in front of some people and saying some words then getting a bit of paper would add much to the relationship. We’ll do it eventually, I’m sure. Neither of us are religious, so we’re thinking of keeping the actual ceremony very small, then having a massive party involving lots of alcohol and possibly some Lips a bit later on in the year. Maybe. Nothing is set in stone at this point, it’s just ideas.
My fingers are still crossed that we get around to having children, something always seems to get in the way though. Between me losing my job, and the long term unemployment that brought, to the big house move which we’re still settling in to, things just got in the way. It’ll happen one day, and as I’ve said before, it’ll be the happiest day of my life. I need to find a job before all this can happen though, and in the current worldwide economic situation, they’re not the easiest of things to come by.
Here’s to another ten years. May they be even better than the first ten.
Congrats btw. Getting Married already!!!!!! You’re like the perfect couple 🙂
Just think though, 10 down, probably about 50 more to go…….;)
I meant to say get married already, not getting married already. The original post implied I thought it was too soon. I do not.
Thank you Stellar. You’re so sweet! And funny too. You’re definitely invited to “Celebration-of-Iain-and-Jane’s-Marriage-Fest 201X”!
Hey, if the next 50 years are even half as good as the first ten, we’re both in for a treat!
Ten years! Christ. Louise and I have been together for just over nine and it’s an alarming amount of time.
You’re right on the marriage thing not really making things any different too – we used it as an excuse to have a big party and then an excuse to go away on holiday for a couple of weeks! My wedding ring is sweet too. But, at the end of the day, nothing’s really changed. Which is great really.
Um. Hooray!
Yup, if anything it’ll be a very, very valid excuse for a party and a holiday. The only thing I can think of that will change is Jane’s surname!
Oh yeah, the avatars are generated from your email address. They are pretty random at times.
What the fuck is with these avatars
And you know you want to party and you’d love a holiday wouldn’t you? Sam is now actively planning our ‘party’ and ‘holiday’, don’t tell her I refered to them as that as I’ll be dead meat ¬_¬
I think my avatar is the best, I have shades like Horatio from CSI Miami! 8]
Ah, congratulations mate, that’s super news. I hope your “party” and “holiday” go well!
Your avatar is pretty cool… Although mine portrays my intelligence very well with his monocle!
