Anniversary

Twelve years ago today, we stood in front of our family and friends, me in a rented tuxedo, Alix in a dress she made herself.

Twelve years ago today, we looked each other in the eye and said “I will.”

Twelve years ago today, we slow-danced while everyone blew bubbles at us.

Twelve years ago today, we got in my old convertible and drove off into a new world.

Twelve years ago today and I still can’t believe my luck.

And all this time I was thinking that Alix was the lucky one! Congratulations on finding the happiness you deserve! I still can’t believe MY luck and blessing with James after almost 33 years together.

Congratulations on twelve wonderful years together! It seems like only yesterday that I emailed you and congratulated you after you announced it in The CO! May you and the Mrs. have MANY MANY MORE wonderful years to come…

Simply a match made in heaven! You are both blessed immeasurably. Love to you both!

Congratulations, many more to you, I challenge you to 38 yezrs. My husband and I have been laughing together for 38 yra.

Congratulations to you and Mrs. Tomlinson. My husband and I just celebrated 35 years but we have been together for 40 if you count the “going steady” we did in Jr High and HS. Love your column in the CO but glad I found your website!
