17 Years And Counting...
17 years ago, I walked down the aisle to join my life with Nick’s. Some of our friends (you know who you are!) are still married, but we have watched many others go their separate ways.
Tonight we had a lovely dinner and then watched our kids put on a play for us which we filmed to keep on hand for blackmail purposes or to show at their weddings someday.
After 17 years, I am still proud to say that I am still married to my Best Friend, that life together is seldom boring or predictable but full of laughter, that he knows me better than anyone else on this planet and loves me anyway... and that his kisses still make me go weak in the knees.
Happy Anniversary To Us!

Happy anniversary! Congratulations!
Happy Anniversary Nick and Jen!
I seem to keep coming up with things about you that are like me more and more. My best friend and I have been married 17 years as of the 8th. When people ask him how long we've been married he always says "too long and not long enough". We also have seen too many of our friends seperate. Long marriages seem to be a thing of the past. I like the past :)
Happy Anniversary wishes, Jen and Nick!!
Happy Anniversary! Best wishes to you and Nick for another great year
that is one of the best things I have read in a while.
good for you.
congratulations. Jan
Belated Happy Anniversary ... and maaaaannny mooooore!!
It's great to see people with love to share ... I get to see some of the people who married their friends in my job ... they radiate love, even after 60 years or more ... Blessings!!
Jen, Congratulations to You and Nick from someone who has made it through 31 and in August it will be 32. We are still best friends, still finish each others thoughts,will burst out into the same song at the most obscure provication, and best of all still enjoy each others company on a daily basis! Congratulations once again and wishing You and Nick many many more!
Charlie
