Sixty five years ago, my dad walked me down the aisle to give me away to the man who still holds my hand when we cross the road. No idea where the time has gone, not set the world on fire, just lived very ordinary lives, with love, and shared sorrow and happiness. Two lucky people.

Lovely news Printmiss Congratulations to both of you. It's my mum and Dad's 65th wedding anniversary today too- so it was a happy day

Printmiss, like many others I found your post really touching. The love you have for your husband and the life you've had together shines through in very few words. A heart-warming post. Congratulations to you both and I loved the bit about having lunch in Sainsbury's café. It's the little things, isn't it? Wishing you many more happy years together.

What a wonderful and modest post you made earlier today, how fabulous to have achieved such longevity and happiness in your marriage.

Many congratulations to the #ThePrintmissDuo

Enjoy your celebrations xxx

I am just about to close down my computer now, and have read all the fantastic replies to my post - never expected any of that, I have been quite overwhelmed. We usually have a celebration with friends on occasions like this, but unfortunately so may of them have died or moved, that a "gathering" would have been a sad event for us, instead we had lunch in Sainsbury's - how about that!
I am still waiting for the sapphires, although I am not sure what I would wear with them. Thank you all so much.

How absolutely lovely! Don't know why but this moved me to tears. This cannot be described as ordinary in any way, just look around you and see how many people have achieved a happy marriage for a lifetime (not me).

A very special anniversary. Congratulations to you both

Many congratulations to you both.

I saw a programme about people 100 years old, and one couple had been married 80 years. I hope you manage the same - or more?
