Wedding Anniversary

Published on: August 8, 2007 by Paul Boag

I have done two things right in my life. Marry my wife and do so on the easiest day to remember ever... 08/08/98

Today is my wedding anniversary. A lot has happened since we got married. Our lives have changed beyond recognition and so have we. Strange how I find myself loving her as much today as the day we got married even though we are both such different people now.

What more could a husband desire. What is more she is my friend too!

Wow, just came in to check the latest podcast after a long summer break and thought you had some weird personalisation stuff going on. Today is my wedding anniversary too. We got married on 8/8 1998. She let me choose the date so I would have no excuse when I forget...

Happy anniversary Paul! From a listener in Sweden who has just started his own podcast. In Swedish, mind you, so when I plagiarise your show you won't have a clue ;)

Congratulations to both of you!

It's also our wedding anniversary today (2005 instead of 1998 though)..... so congrats to us both!

Also it must be very close to the anniversary of when I first stumbled upon your podcast. Been an avid listener since. So congrats again and keep up the good work.

As Cliff sings:

Congratulations and celebrations
when I tell everyone that you're in love with me.
Congratulations and jubilations
I want the world to know I'm happy as can be.

Who would believe that I could
be happy and contented.
I used to think that happiness
hadn't been invented,
but that was in the bad old days
before I met you
when I let you walk into my heart.

Congratulations and celebrations
when I tell everyone that you're in love with me.
Congratulations and jubilations
I want the world to know I'm happy as can be.

I was afraid that maybe
you thought you were above me.
That I was only fooling myself
to think you'd love me.
But then tonight you said
you couldn't live without me
that round about me
you wanted stay.

Congratulations and celebrations
when I tell everyone that you're in love with me.
Congratulations and jubilations
I want the world to know I'm happy as can be

Congratulations you two. It's my fiances birthday today 09/08/07 which is an equally easy to remember date I think. We'll be getting married in November this year.

Huzzah!

Our lives have changed beyond recognition and so have we.

Too true. It's funny looking back; you thought you were adults when you married, but you had no idea. Growing up can be tough, and doing it together gracefully is to be celebrated.

Congratulations on your wedding anniversary!

By the way, love the shaved head. Trying to look like Jason Statham (or Dan Cederholm)?
