Marriage anniversary ... 47 years ago...

[slo town]

...Sue and I got married. Pic is at our wedding reception. I had just introduced my mother as "My Dad's wife." And not only that, I am blocking her from view!

As an unmarried 36 year old I'm not quite sure if I should congratulate you or smuggle you out through some underground tunnel.

Who is the only one in that pic without a smile on their face..... that bearded guy in upper-left of this photo?
How did he turn out over the years - if you don't mind me asking?

OP looks a little tall to be driving around in some late model 3-series.

That's Sue's old boyfriend! No, actually that's my BIL, a great guy who turned into a great friend. He just got caught out in the picture.

Almost half a century. Unheard of, mostly, these days. Congrats!

Good spot on your part! Over my lifetime I've become accustomed to driving with the seat back reclined. And my special ordered E46 came from the factory sans sunroof.

He paid for the wedding.

Hey, @JeffKeryk, we got married in Los Gatos on Shannon Road. As I've long said, we've been around those parts for a very long time.

I would've bought a beloved coworker's BMW had it not been for the darn sunroof.
A dopey option I wish hadn't infected such a large percentage of the industry.

Actually, in that shot, you both look like you'd taken acting classes beforehand. You're standing so expressively!
You gotta love a gal who knows how to hold a drink.

I had relatives who matched the older folk on the right (blue dress/grey suit).

Accidentally introducing my mother as "My Dad's wife" can do that. The older couple were my grandparents on my mother's side. I was very fortunate to have them I'm my life. Both of them were wonderful people.

Congratulations! Very cool photo.

Congrats that's a long time. I was married 19 years didn't make it to 20. They say the average marriage is 5 years in the US now.

Geez, no tattoos on anyone and everyone is skinny!
Congrats!

Nice photo. Elegant bridal couple. I got married a year after you. Still married.

Lifetime marriages are like having an old car you can't imagine ever getting rid of.

 

[walterjay]

Got married 3 years before you and still going!

Congrats to you!

Wow! 47 years! That's 7 years of wedded bliss.

We've been fortunate. Maybe a bump or two along the way, but no pot holes or dead ends.

My wife and I just celebrated our 53. I have been telling this joke for years. My wife finally told me to stop it as she has heard it enough. So I changed it to 8 years of wedded bliss.

BTW, the doghouse is a bit cramped!!!!
