So, This Social Worker, Working With Kids...

[ProfessorGAC]

...marries an arrogant, officious jerk.
That was 41 years ago, today.
We're still married!

[Karadeniz]

1. Woo woo! Wishing you many more joyful years together!!!

[Magoo48]

12. Congrats, we celebrated 41 on dec.1.

Hope you and the officious jerk are happy and in good health.

My wife married an alcoholic and less than inspired member of the work force.
He’s sober for 36 years now.

3. Congratulations on your long marriage! You must be doing something right!

💕 ⚘ 🥂🍾

[ProfessorGAC]

5. Yeah! Something!

Actually we're the best of friends.
She's by far the best friend I've ever had. I'm thinking I'm fairly high on her list too! LOL!
Due to COVID, we still haven't celebrated our 40th.
But, after her COVID shot today, we're doing surf & turf at home. Bought lobster tails yesterday. Going to butcher market (yep, we have one in town here) for filets this morning.
Sides haven't been decided.

4. Happy Anniversary

She married a thoroughly decent and brilliant man

6. Congratulations! Quite an enduring marriage.

And thanks for the response on DNA alteration the other day.
And you're not an officious jerk--you're one of the smartest people on this forum.

[Luciferous]

7. Happy Anniversary!

[niyad]

8. Awwwwwwwwww. Congratulations. May there be many more to come. May your

Celebration be joyous.

And thank you so much for sharing, and starting my day with warm fuzzies!

Congratulations, ProfessorGAC!

10. So, this beautiful dancer and teacher, working with kids...

...marries a pompous, arrogant dorky musician.
That was 2 years ago, yesterday.
We're still married!
(We've been friends since 1979!)

ETA: Congratulations!

[catbyte]

18. Congratulations!

[ProfessorGAC]

19. The Social Worker...

...was also a dancer (community ballet) and married a musician.
But, music was a paid hobby for me.
Played 40-100 shows a year from 1976 to 2008 or 9. From around 1982 until the end we averaged around 80.
Interesting parallels!
BTW: I've been busy recording covers of some rock tunes. Keep an eye open in Musicians' for when I post a link.
I'm waiting for a Behringer A/D (on backorder) so I can master to MPEG. I've got 3 done so far.

[Maeve]

11. Congratulations!

We hit our 45th next Sunday (spring is a great time for weddings!)

It's a high of 36 today. Drizzle with possible flurries.
41 years ago, it was 68 & sunny.
She didn't even wear a coat over her wedding dress.
On Edit, a fun story I think you'll like.
In our early dating days, I told her I was a musician & singer. About our third date, we're going to a disco & "September" by Earth, Wind & Fire comes on the radio.
I sang along, including the Phillip Bailey part. As the song ends, she says "Oh, you're a REAL singer!"
I knew there was something I liked about her! 😁

[Maeve]

27. Hubby was a musician and singer back then, too

Well...he played guitar, anyway. And did get paid for it a couple of times. I ended up doing more of the performing over the years but he still gets the attention (it's his terrific mustache that draws folks now!)

Always best to marry a friend.

[The Magistrate]

14. Congratulations, Sir!

Here's to many more....

[Evolve Dammit]

15. Congrats! Sounds familiar... My wife says I never listen to her. Or something like that...

[Dave in VA]

16. Congratulations!

We will celebrate 41 years of marriage in May. Everyone said it wouldn't last. Now everyone is divorced and we are still going strong! So much for conventional wisdom!

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. Happy anniversary!

Your dinner sounds wonderful. Here's to many more!

[ProfessorGAC]

20. We Decided On Vegetables

Double baked potato with butter & park & asparagus. I might make a wine & butter sauce for the latter.

[greatauntoftriplets]

23. Sounds good except for the asparagus.

I am not a fan, but I know the season for it is just getting started.

[ProfessorGAC]

29. I Was Thinking Artichokes

But, they're a lot more work. Par cooking, peeling, cutting out the hearts, then finishing the cook! That's 30 minutes.
Asparagus is 2 minutes! The sauce (if I make it) is the same.

[greatauntoftriplets]

30. I'd take the easy route, but I'm feeling lazy today.

Have a lovely dinner.

[smirkymonkey]

28. That sounds like a perfect dinner!

Congratulations!

[NellieStarbuck]

21. Umm, congratulations?

[ProfessorGAC]

22. A Reasonable Reply

I'm not really that bad! I just know my foibles.

[erronis]

24. Based on the OP I can't tell if one is a man and the other is a woman....

Not that it matters but usually "arrogant", "officious", and "jerk" go with that Y chromosome.

Congrats in all cases!

[ProfessorGAC]

25. I'm The Jerk!

I'm a guy!
As I said earlier, I'm really not that bad. But, I'm self-aware.
Gandhi, I'm not!

[Dreampuff]

26. Happy anniversary

To you and your wife!

[Atticus]

31. Congrats from another guy who SO married up! nt
