😺😺
Whoa! You wore me out. Happy birthday and congratulations!
Bruce asked me to marry him three times. I kept putting it off. We were already living together, both in the Navy, his two ex-wives and five kids lived near by, and we were in our 30’s. What’s the hurry? When I (supposedly) said, “Yes,” he hustled me and the kids into the truck, got our blood tests, and walked into the court house ten minutes before it closed.
Thirty-two years later I’m still trying to figure out what happened.
I wish both of you a long, joyous and healthy life; that your marriage be strong and faithful; may there always be a rainbow after each storm.
First: Happy Birthday!
Second: CONGRATULATIONS YOU TWO! I’m very happy for you.
Third: Joe, take a nap. You must be exhausted.
Congratulations! 🎈🎉
I hope you realize that getting married on your birthday means you get less presents each year. Per etiquette, you should plan your birthday, anniversary, and Christmas/Hanukkah exactly 4 months apart. This maximizes gift potential. The More You Know…
Congratulations!
Happy Birthday and Congratulations! Ha, trying to slip it in the middle, like we wouldn’t notice. Ha. Much love and joy to you both. Also, sneaky way to never forget your anniversary, excellent choice.
I don’t post much because internet is slower than dial-up but Happy Birthday and Congratulations from Greenland (although I’ll be on vacation in Colorado Springs on Saturday).
\o/yeay\o/ Congratulations!
Happy belated birthday and congratulations on getting married.
Such a wonderful combination of birthday and marriage, congratulations to you both! You are a great couple 🙂
Happy Birthday and congratulations to the both of you on signing your marriage papers. Now it’s official. Ha ha! 🙂
Happy birthday! Congratulations to you and Akemi! (Nixe work making sure you don’t forget your anniversary.)
I guess that’s one way to ensure you don’t forget your wedding anniversary! Congrats!
Congratulations on the birthday and of course the marriage. Your lucky to have those 2 things plus all the delicious food you posted. Live long and enjoy it all.
Live long and prosper! (Sorry I do not know the Star Gate or Dark Matter equivalent)
and congrats for the marriage
I know it’s late, but I’ve been away. Congrats to both Mr and Mrs Akemi !! I hope you both have a long and happy life together.
Happy belated Birthday and congrats to getting married! I hope the second time around you have more luck 😉
