Hi! We just kept moving along and getting along. She a kinda introvert, me someone that talks to much, to anyone and everyone that wants to listen.

Had only a couple things in common, but with her being 21 and me 32! I had done a lot of living on the wild side, she had not. Was that a good thing or a bad thing, who knows? We just seemed to enjoy each others company.

We had a couple things in common like music and life in the future. When we were together for some time, I told her my feelings about having kids. If she wanted kids our relationship would not work. She accepted that and we stayed together.

The only mention of marriage came from friends and family, and we left it at just that. Lots of "when's and why's" and we just said "maybe there will be a time". There was a time, and it had to do with $$$$. Both government and my retirement. At that time 30 years had whizzed by.

Told her which month and day I wanted to get married, and she said "yes". I chose February 14th for a reason, and she knew what that reason entailed.

My maternal grandfather died in 1943 on February 14th. My maternal grandmother died exactly 13 years later(1956) on February 14th. My mother died exactly 13 years later(1969) on February 14th. 

I thought having a small courthouse wedding, on that month and day, would bring a happy memory when Valentine's Day rolled around.(❤)  That was in 2002, and it does give me a different memory to cherish on that day. 

There ya go!

@hckynut ...Thank  you so much for sharing your love story with me...very much appreciated...I especially was touched on why you picked Valentine's Day to be married.

As far as your age difference and you having experienced "living on the wild side" more than your wife when you first met, I'm sure that, after 30 years, there was no doubt that all was well with her as far as that was concerned...lol

From reading other posts of yours, it has appeared to me that your marriage has been one of understanding, love, respect and compatibility...as well as respecting each of your individual interests and needs in life...while sharing your lives together.

Continued happiness to you both and good health!

@Tinkerbell3. It might be to them. I watched Corbett announce it in The Talk video and he seemed very excited showing off his shiney gold wedding band.
