Don't want to post humour on another thread but your varied instead of married made me laugh when I looked a the definition of varied.....Showing Variety.

Bet that was a fun honeymoon. ;-)

It was gness. 2 days lugging stuff over to a new abode and then on the second night he was back on night shift at the airport Actually our honeymoon was 6 weeks earlier in Spain where on one night we were so sozzled that we decided to get married!

I haven't read the original post that gave birth to this thread, but here is the story of how my parents got married.

They had been dating for five years and my mum wanted to move things along a little.

She decided that she and my dad would rent a flat. She got it all organised and told dad what she had done. He said that there was no way that he was 'living in sin' (1962, catholic girl and free church of Scotland boy). Now that mum had him cornered he proposed.

Nine months later, to the day, I was born.

Ha ha Wolf. How things have changed though. We weren't even a couple as such when we decided getting married on that drunken night. We were both worried about commiting. And here we are now 50 years later. Surprising what can happen over a few bottles of wine and paella on a balmy Spanish evening can do.

I don't think anyone really expected their marriage to work. My mum was unpredictable (I'm bipolar so maybe she was too) and my dad was your typical nice guy/gentleman.

Mum died at 58 years old, in 1996 so that was about 34 years of marriage and my dad was a lost soul until he died in 2004.

Fifty years is a long time to be with someone. My baby brother has hit the 25 years milestone. I think that I prefer to be single.

I never wanted to get married Wolf and I never wanted children. We do have a son though who I love dearly. My dad died at 63 and mum at 89. She was rather a merry widow!!
