For our 44th Wedding Anniversary, though I'd share a couple of thoughts:
There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.
Martin Luther
I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.
Rita Rudner
Of course,this would not be complete without a quote from the expert:
The secret of a happy marriage remains a secret.
Henny Youngman

Nature: a place where birds fly around uncooked
Oscar Wilde Despite his last name, clearly, Oscar was no naturalist. They're under the threat of lot crueler things happening than the fear of getting cooked. Surely, he would have read Lord Tennyson's recognition of reality: Nature, red in tooth and claw? |
