For me it always seems much longer than 13, but I keep that mostly to myself as it helps keep the glares to a minimum!
She likes to remind me we have been together for 16 years total, we dated for a year and then were engaged for two more. We were trying to save up for a wedding but finally gave up and headed over to the courthouse.
I remember the judge telling us she hoped we beat the odds (at the time half of all marriages ended in divorce), I should send her a postcard on our 13th anniversary...
Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled thread...
