Married for 37 Years—Shooting for 74

Yesterday was my anniversary. Hubby and I have been married for 37 years. 37 years! Gosh, it really doesn’t seem that long. I hope we have another 37. That’ll put me at 96 and him at 100. It’s doable, don’t you think? See… we’re only half way through our marriage! I like that.

As you can see in the picture, we didn’t have a fancy wedding. Married at the court house by the Judge. License cost $8.00, which I paid (Hubby left his money at home—a likely excuse). Man, my parents got off easy, didn’t they?

Yesterday we didn’t give each other a present. We never have. On our first anniversary we decided to get something for the house—a clock. We’ve been doing stuff like that ever since. Well… until we didn’t have anything left to get for the house. Now we go on cruises (we leave on another in a week!). Seems we’re always on a cruise around our anniversary anyway, so why not make it count as a present?

Last night we had an excellent meal, too. At McCormick and Schmicks. And it didn’t cost us a dime. Fidelity Investments invited us to a seminar and Hubby wanted to go. I’m glad we did. Ate the most excellent steak. I told him we could go back there next year for our anniversary. Their food is GOOD!

Oh, and Hubby enjoyed the seminar. I was just along for the meal. J

So… If you’re married, how do you celebrate your wedding anniversary? Did you have a big fancy wedding or something simple (and cheap) like we did?

Happy Friday!
