On an up note I just had to mention that back in May of 2000 I met my wife face to face for the first time. After months of emails and phone calls we finally split the distance between VA and NYC and met in Maryland and spent the day together.
Then after much travel back and forth to the Big Apple, enduring the heartache of 9/11 and the seemingly endless of hashing out plans, we finally tied the knot on April 27,2002.
In a full on Celtic wedding, complete with kilts and bagpipes we paraded from our chapel to our reception at Snug Harbor on Staten Island.
The wedding felt dream like and this life has felt like a fairy tale romance ever since. Sure we have had a disagreement or two, but certainly nothing worth losing sleep over. The benefits have so far outweighed any downsides as to make them easily forgettable.
This weekend marks our 6th anniversary and its one of those things where I cant believe that its been this long, while at the same time it feels like I have been here with her all my life. Maybe life really did start over when I met her.

I have mentioned on more than one occasion about how she gives me virtually no grief where my car is concerned and I am incredibly thankful for that. Had I still been with my first wife, I'm quite sure I never would have reached the point where I have with my GP much less owning two cars.

I may have posted this before but I think it bears repeating. There are three things a man of my age has truly come to appreciate...

1) a well mixed libation that settles the nerves

2) a spirited sports car to handle the curves

3) and a woman that loves me more than I deserve

I dont use number one very often and I dont think I would have number two without number three. I dont know what I did to deserve number three but I cant say enough about how thankful I am that she is in my life.

Heres hoping each of you can find this kind of happiness in your lives

Congrats. I had the story and saw the pictures when you stopped by last year. She must be a wonderful woman and you're a lucky man.

Congrats TBat!!!

From all I've heard it sounds like you've hit gold. Looking forward to seeing y'all later this year. In addition to being able to hang, it'll be nice to finally put a face to the person I hear about often.

Congrats, this weekend the gf and I are hitting 3 years, no knot tying yet though!!

Add a 7 after the 6 and you'll have how many my dad's parents been together, that's 67, this recent January.

Congrats!

Congrats. Here's to many many more.

March 31st was the 16th for my wife and I.

congrats man.

From all of your other threads.... shes a keeper

Congrats!

x2!

Hope to be like you someday.

Its bad pickins out there. If you ever get the urge to go back to the single life when you see some fine woman....don't. She won't measure up to her and know you just as well.

So super congrats!!

Congrats, Tim!

X3!

For Ema and I, May 2nd marks 3 years.

Ain't that the truth. Although I can't say too much, seeing as it's mixed company here.

There are exceptions, like the gal you've got T-bat, but...right now, I'd rather spend my money on my car. It's less of a pain in the ***. :p

Ya but a "good" woman at your side is so much more rewarding then any car any day. And I'm not talking sexual wise. When you find the right partner the relationship takes on so much more. When someone asks you who your best friend is and you respond with your spouses name it would take an act of God to tear that apart.

Once again Tim congrats and here's to a long and happy relationship with your wife.

Congrats man! Time sure does fly by...
