It’s hard to believe but we’ve been married for forty one years! It was forty one years ago that we took a boat to Cyprus and married before a Cypriot judge. No dress, no rings, no guests. Just us.
Forty one years ago, what did we envision our life will be like? Would we have changed much? We would have probably laughed at a thought of a world ravaged by a global pandemic.
Today, Tony went to the garden and came back with a couple of daisies that he plunk into a mason jar (the same one I used last night to catch a firefly), and announced: Happy Anniversary. I also said Happy Anniversary, and we sipped a cup of coffee in silence.
We won’t doing anything special today. It’s just us and the hostages here, but maybe we’ll go on an anniversary day trip next week.
later, we’ll show you the firefly from last night. Until then, be safe and be well.
Happy Anniversary. So nice to see comfort and ease of the long married couples. We are headed to 44 this year. How time passes. Enjoy the weekend. Allan
Thank you! Have a great weekend!
Happy Anniversary! This year will be our 40th. I may have to follow Tony’s lead on the flowers!
Thank you! It’s not a bad approach from my perspective, but you should know your wife’s style better. I think that you wrote a post about it last year maybe?
I may have – I forget what I wrote last week 🙂
🙂

Happy anniversary! 41 years ! Amazing! How you both survived in such a long marriage? ???? What’s the secret ? ????

Happy Anniversary – what made you choose Cyprus?!
HA! We lived in Israel at the time when there was no civil marriage there. Cyprus was the closest place that we could afford to go to 🙂
Sounds like a story! Isreal was my gretaest trip ever 🙂 Well done for nitching up so many years together
Thanks, and yes, it’s an amazing place to visit.
Happy anniversary! It’s incredible that you’ve been with your loved one for over four decades now; I can imagine that the fifth decade will be arriving before you know it! Enjoy your day, peaceful and whole. 🙂
Thanks, Rebecca for these sweet words. You have a wonderful day too!
It all sounds lovely and inspirational. Our anniversaries are usually low key as well. Sometimes a dinner put, always relaxing. Enjoy your day.
Thank you! A dinner our sounds very nice. Maybe next year we’ll be able to do that!
41 years is very impressive. Congratulations guys and keep on putting out your blogs!
Thank you! We most certainly will and the same goes to you!
Happy anniversary!! Wishing you many more years of love, laughter, happiness and good health. Cheers.
Thank you so much!
Happy anniversary! How nice to enjoy each other’s company for so long. I see you still have your sense of humor! Many more.
Haha, it’s slowly fading, but some of it is left 🙂 Thanks!
Congratulations! I hope your next 41 years are as good as the last????
Thank you! I hope so too 🙂
Happy anniversary team 🙂
Thank you!
Happy Anniversary! We are at 43. Oh..I wanted to elope..families and weddings are crazy.
Thank you! It can certainly get out of hand real quick 🙂 I hope your wedding was nice though!
Our wedding was a perfect representation of the dysfunction of our families. In the end our families can have more power over our married relationship than we realize. We learned early to set boundaries.
I love how you described this. And, yes…so very true!
A delayed but lively, happy anniversery to both of you. Forty one years is like endless rollercoaster rides of imagination. My wishes dearest friends.

Pleasure dear friend. Thanks
What a simplistic beautiful way of celebrating your anniversary!! It shows the silent strength of a couple that has seen the highs and lows together!! Hapy belated anniversary ♥️
Thank you! And yes, no need for any elaborate fanfare when you’re having fun together.
Our 30th year together will be 2023. We also dream of your retirement status!
Wishing you many many more!
