Twenty One Years of Wedded Something
Okay. Fine. I'll say it. BLISS. It just sounds more like a hallmark card and less original than I'd like. We started dating in 1984, so we've been a couple for twenty six years. We passed the point of being together for more than half our lives a few years ago....
