Congratulations! Recommend you do not celebrate together in a recycling bin!

Don't think we'll get to 60 years since I was married this time at 37, but you never know!

All the best to you, Herb, and Mrs. Herb. That kind of record doesn't come easily but like most hard things is worth the effort.

Wishing you both happy times ahead! I became a widow in '01 but if my beloved
Joe hadn't left me, we would have made 66 years 3 months ago. I'm still mad at him and
tell him every day!!! (But still kiss his photo
every night).

Congrats, Herb. Definitely an accomplishment you should be proud of. It will be 60 for my parents this coming December, although I'm not sure how pleasant it was early on.

Seems that 3 months into their marriage, they fooled around, the consequences being that my mom spent her 19th birthday and their first wedding anniversary in the hospital with me.

Friendship, indeed. And something that cannot be described in mere words.

Congratulations Herb.

Good for you and your spouse.

Wow, 60 years! That is quite an accomplishment for both of you. I am at a lowly 14 years and it has been rocky at best. We get along better when we are apart, like now. I am in New Mexico (working) and she is in the Denver, Colorado area, also working. Makes it hard sometimes but we make it work.

Congratulations! May it last for another 60 and beyond!

Thank you

Congratulations!
I'm still a divorced dino.
Never found my heart of gold.
And I'm getting old.
My grown kids think I'm cool.
Maybe paying all my child support helped--
--and I had them over every other weekend for a few years
My stepson made me best man at his wedding after years of me thinking he just put up with me.
My ex even borrows money from me and pays back with interest.
She hates the next divorced hubby in her life.
Not me. We're friends.
No, I don't want to get back with her. She smokes. I quit.
So she stinks; and save for money, I don't trust her.
It's a funny world for the allosaur.

The wife and I will be married (I didn't say happily) 47 years and will be for a lot longer. (we can't afford a divorce. just joking)

congratulations. it is a milestone that fewer and fewer couples are experiencing. I expect that you have a 60 year friendship!

Congratulations herb!

Good job Herb!

Good point. Good memories. +1

Now is the age of shorts. Short jobs, short marriages, short shorts, short attention spans, which is what makes it surprising. Since I'm old, I guess I'm also old-fashioned. One of the things I used to enjoy is to walk along the trail in a nearby park located right on the Gulf. On a Sunday or holiday, the grills are grilling, the baseball diamond is in full use, people & families of every race and ethnicity are playing Frisbee, yelling at one another kidding one another and showing love for one another. To me, this was the real America. Now, not so much.

It's not that surprising.Most Gulchers find their highest value. Those that don't live like Rearden.

Thank you.
It is surprising how many long lived marriages reside in the gulch.

Congratulations Herb. If my dad were still alive my parents would have just had their 68th on the 9th of this month.

1944, I wasn't a gleam in my Daddy's eyes yet (born 1961.) But Dad was finishing bombardier's training, and his brother was jumping into Eindhoven with the 101st.

Wooee!
68 and counting.
23rd is pretty good, too. Of course, compared to your mom & dad, you're just beginners. WW2, I was just learning how to draw a P49 Aerocobra (I think). 1944 I was 10 and full of patriotic zeal.

I can't, but last March my Mom and Dad hit 68 years - married in 1947, 92 and 87, still on their own and doing fine. Dad's the last WW2 vet left in my family. Mrs. Animal and I are at 23 years.

Congrats to you both! Hope you're having a great day.

An oldie, but a goodie.

An old guy is sitting in his living room, crying his eyes out. His wife rushes to his side and asks, "what's wrong honey?" He answers, "50 years ago tonight, you and I were fooling around in your parents front parlor, and your father caught us." she smiles coyly and says, "yes, I remember". He continues, "Your daddy sent you up to bed and he took me out to the barn and said, "Son, I'm a judge in this county, and if you don't marry my daughter tomorrow morning, I'll put you in jail for 50 years!" His wife asks, "But why are you crying?" He answers with a cry, "I'D HAVE BEEN GETTING OUT TOMORROW!!!!"

Happy and blessed anniversary Herb, and many, many more!

I see that there are others who take their vows seriously. Sorry about your dad.
