It's our 21st wedding anniversary on Friday.





together 26 yrs married 1 year (secondtime) and we still giggle and snort in bed![]()
and other mechanical stuff.

I was married once. Unfortunately she felt the marriage vows only applied to my side of the commitment so we eventually parted company.
I am now with Arch. Nearly 2 years together, formally, but know each other for longer. Met on a cycling forumdue to a mutual interest in steam engines
and other mechanical stuff.
We have plans for a wedding. Having done it before I am not overly bothered about wedding stuff but I do still feel that marriage (in some form, not necessarily legal or religious) is an important thing for me as a confirmation of our commitment to each other.
Arch enjoys the same sorts of madcap stuff that I do, we both enjoy cycling but don't see it as a religion. We have similar views to spending and earning, holidays, lifestyles, fashions, luxuries, food, family, etc. I think we 'fall out' on dogs, Arch likes something smaller with a rough coat, I prefer larger dogs with a smooth coat.
Overall we compliment each other.
I only ever intended to be married once (more).![]()

We were talking about that....
No date as yet, dependent on job changes and house renovations, but aiming at a very small wedding ceremony in the morning, followed by a guerrilla raid for tea and cake at the National Railway Museum* for anyone else (forum people?) who wants to meet up to join us there. There will then be a break for lunch and stuff and then we join the invited guests for the reception buffet and party at St Nicholas Fields environment centre.
All that is subject to change as we think of other ways to reduce costs down to a pittance.
*We dated at the NRM so it is a special place for us. We will be wondering about there on the day hopefully meeting and drinking tea with people we wouldn't otherwise get to meet on the day. Obviously we couldn't invite the whole forum to the reception so this seemed like a good compromise.![]()
