Mark and I have been together for 25 years.

Bit of a milestone, what? (o:

 

Hmmm... It's a bit arty - sorry; it was taken at a gig at Liverpool Warehouse for Jive! Magazine. Contrast was obviously 'in' in '82. ::G::

Aw, sigh... We were supposed to be going away - I was hoping for Greece - but *stuff* cropped up so we're just sitting around at home doing the usual. maybe in a couple of weeks or so, when the dust settles.

Thanks for the congrats.

That's excellent! Congratulations! Here's hoping you see in another 25 or more years together.

Oh man... Not sure I have that kind of staying power ::G::

Mum and Dad just did 55. As Dad said, if I'd just killed her instead, I'd be out by now.

That's so wonderful. Celebrate like crazy!

::sending a case of, say, Dom Perignon, yes? at the very least; accompanied by candlelight and soft music and every romantic thing you could dream of::

Celebrate...? Dom Perignon...?! I wish! What with house matters and work matters and tonsillitis, I'll be lucky if I get a cup of cheap Bulgarian vino and a bag of smoky bacon crisps. ::G::

I am working on Greece in September, and there's still talk of California in November so I live in hope. (o:

Thanks so much! I don't know about another 25, mind. I barely survived the first round. (o:

Don't I know it! ::a cloud of uncertainty and doom descends amidst an air of 'whatever happened to my life?'::

I should maybe clarify that we never bothered to actually make it legal or anything and all that we're celebrating is our first coupling one warm summer evening back in '82. He wooed me with the hugest G&T (big on the G, very easy on the T) I'd ever seen in my life. 'It' happened in his bedroom (his dad was on nights) on his single bed under his big, red 'Adverts' poster with Fred the dog scratching at the door to be let in.

Ah, the romance...

But we've been together ever since so it seems appropriate to celebrate.

Mark just found a picture of us taken shortly after we moved in together - I'll see if I can post it.

Oh, that's so fantastic! Congratulations to you both!

And, OMG, do you have WHITE hair in that picture?
 
posted by [identity profile] gillyp.livejournal.com at 06:02pm on 19/07/2007
LOL, very pale blonde. It went through various incarnations; blonde, pink, pink orange and green, then black, then a sort of strawberry red...

Thanks for the congrats. (o:

Thankee kindly!

(LOL! I typoed 'thankee kinkly' - which is more like it, really. ::G::)

Wow! Congrats! "Legal" or not, it counts! (Just ask the folks who don't have the legal option to marry...*g*)

Great photo! Your 1982 looks much more interesting than my 1982... ;-)
 
posted by [identity profile] gillyp.livejournal.com at 06:12pm on 19/07/2007
I have little respect for Teh Legal. (o:

"Your 1982 looks much more interesting than my 1982... ;-)"
LOL! Mark just commented it looks more like 1984; a pair of faceless, brain-washed bureaucrats in Mao suits. (o: I think it has a Warholish look myself.

It made me seek out the rest of that photo-shoot; I might scan and post some up later, just for my own, hopeless nostalgia. ::sigh::

Ignore me, 'tis but the wine speaking...

I've been with my guy for 28 years, 27 legalized. Hard to believe isn't it.

Oh man... I'm trying not to think about the weight of all those years pressing down. (o: But he's such a cutie - still. He still has a perfect bottom. I keep threatening to make an icon of it. ::evil laugh::

And congratulations on your own 28! It's nice, isn't it? ::simpers::

And my word, 1982...One year later I met the spouse.

"and you get to do Greece and California later this year."
OH yeah! I am down with that majority. (o:

RL has eased up a tad; I've been able to work on the fic today - always a good sign that the clouds are clearing.

Thanks for the congratulations. (o:

Congrats! Legal or not, dates are important....

Charlie and I met in '85, then married in '88. It seems to be a lifetime, but gone by in a flash, doesn't it?

I feel like Basil Fawlty; 'whoosh! What was that? That was your life mate.'

LOL. Oh dear, that sounds so sad and I'm not, really. (o:
