Well today is my 17th wedding aniversary. I've booked a sneaky table for two at a posh restaurant tonight. Understandig Wife knows nothing about it, I'll spring it on her later.
I'd like to put all soppy stuff on here about how much I love her etc, But I won't, I'll save itfor her.
bothered.:D
congratulations! :) I'm doing what i can to get a relationship started; 17 years is quite an accomplishment!

Congratulations Bothered. It sounds like she has done well to find a man that still cares enough to do something special. It also sounds like you did well to find a woman that you want to do something special for. I wish the two of you many more happy years together.:cheers:

Great overclock there on the matrimony thing!:D
Congrats bothered, you are a very lucky man to have found someone to be with for 17 years, in todays time, couples don't even last past the first year.

Congratulations! And give the missus a ... no never mind, don't do that from me. It wouldn't be proper....

The meal was superb, I started with a Duck salad, It was one of those arty meals with little swirls of sauce around the plate, Lots of various plants and a few pieces of the most delicious Duck I have tasted. Then I had Monk fish, A lump of Monk fish the size of a childs fist with a peppery potato thing, assorted veg and swirly sauce patterns on the plate followed by a chocolate slab with a dollop of ice cream on top and loads of chocolate swirly patterns. The resurant was very nice, Understanding wife Loved it.
And earlier in the day She got me a Sony home theater set up, The DAV-SA30, £330 of fun.
All in all a very nice day.

Happy (somewhat belated) anniversary.

Why just 2 more years? Why not wish for them to be happily married for the rest of their life?
My parents have been married so far for 30 years (Dec 2, 1972)
//EDIT
Sorry, I misread the post, thats not just two more years as I though I saw it, its "I wish the two of you many more happy years together":banghead:

Congrats to you and your understanding wife Bothered!
It's sad nowadays how many marriages don't last. :(
People say the first year is the hardest....WRONG!
My wife and I celebrated our 21st anniversary this past June. You get out of it what you put into it, but it takes TWO to make it work. I've been married longer than I was single. :D
Again, congrats! Hopefully you will still be together when you're old and decrepit.

Agreed! Almost 19 years for my wife and me. :cool:
Well, I couldn't resist, so I'm about to attempt to be funny while avoiding inserting my foot into my mouth. Here goes:
On anniversaries- what men say vs. what they mean:
"Honey, we don't need material things to prove our love."
Really means... "I forgot our anniversary again."
And whatever you do, make sure you don't do this a few years down the road:
A man and wife were celebrating their 50-year anniversary, so the man bought his wife a $250 see-through nightgown.
Later that night she was getting ready for bed and realized the nightgown was still in the box downstairs. Walking naked through the house, she passed her husband who said, "My word, for $250 they could've at least ironed it!"
