So I met my wife at the gym when I was 22 never had a girlfriend in my life. We went on a date and I knew if I was going to get married this was it. Told her " I ride mules every weekend " are you ok with that? She said yes...We were married 2 months later. We have 3 kids now age 15 10 and 2.

Similar story. Met my wife at the gym, engaged within three months and married about three months later. We have four kids though. ;)

My fiance and I always joke that if we had our own reality show, they would probably want to institutionalize us with all of the weird and quirky nick names and inside jokes we have

Wow, so cool to see so many still happily married. There is so much negative shit around and it seems like more people I know are separated or divorced than married these days!

Also most of you dudes are way in the overachievers club!!!! Damn!


Married 12 years together 16. Would do it all over again!

Dated for 7, married for 33. It wasn't easy and marrying at 25 and 22(her) meant a lot of growing or on the job training. 40 years later

My first reaction to the "hat's off to the 20yr crowd" was damn, that's a long time.
Then I thought about it...we've been together longer than that!:eek:
Then seeing 41yrs today, that is badass. Congrats!

View attachment 686626 View attachment 686627 Love this thread, congrats to all!! My wife and I have been married for 29 incredible years, somehow I married wayyyyy up!

That’s the best mullet I’ve seen in awhile!

Wedding photos are way worse than any kind of truth serum.:p
Gotta dig his smile though, he knew it was gonna be a great ride:cool:
The best part about that first pic is the little girl just over his wife's shoulder. Its like shes thinking "this is gonna be a HORRIBLE look after 10 years!" Lol!!

We met on a sandbar on the Lower River in July of 1998, got married in October 1999 (so next month will be 19 years). Now we live on the Lower River (5+ years now).

Congrats Kevin. Have a great day. Don’t drink too much too early. The day will be a long blur anyway.
Look forward to seeing the vids of your Dad and UM serenading the two of you.
