    Very well done by the both of you. You have a lot to be proud of.

    I always wanted to be one of the few that could celebrate such longevity. Always listened to Paul Harvey and marveled at the many years of marriage. I just was not good enough to my first wife to make that happen. I think I learned a bit and am doing better this time around. But alas, not enough sand in the glass to make a real big number. I am just working on quality this time.

    Congratulations on an accomplishment that in these times does not get the recognition it deserves.

    My first and second wife were more interested in themselves than us. Third time was a charm. Mrs. smokeywolf is one the finest and most unselfish people I've ever met. Not a day goes by that I don't try to think of a new way or another way to make her happier.

    Congratulations and God bless you both! My wife and I were both 19 when we got married 45 years ago and the same was said to us . . . . marriage is like a job - you have to work at it - with love and respect for your spouse and put their needs before yours. You and your wife are shining examples of the way it was meant to be - congrats and enjoy your special day!

    My parents just had their 60th and I feel bad as I thought they were at 59 and planned to do something special. My brothers and I did do them right on their 50th. If you have parents in this range, you are blessed, cherish them and be thankful for such a beautiful gift from God.

    My folks will celebrate 57 this year.

    My wife and I just had our 29th, hard to believe it's been that long. It isn't always easy, but it is pretty simple; you both have to have your minds made up that you're going to make things work.

    I am so happy for the two of you....we passed 40 last December and only pray that mrsbuckwheatpaul will keep me to at least 57 years!
    When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!
