It's Our Porcelain Anniversary
May. 26th, 2019 10:03 amApparently the 18th wedding anniversary gift suggestion is porcelain. So a really good coffee mug? Drink too much and pray to the porcelain gawd?
At eighteen year in terms of human numbers is the year you become an adult in the eyes of the law. Your parents are no longer responsible for your legal shenanigans.
These days, according to statistics, eighteen years of marriage is pretty doggone good.
One thing I did know going into this contract is that I was in it for the long haul.
Peter and I had each other’s backs when we were dating but with marriage we became a team.
And we have done pretty well as such.
We are each other’s sounding boards for just about ever aspect of our lives. The nice thing is that we are very honest with each other. If it is a bad idea we will tell the other or give them another way to looking at it. Peter has told the tale of how I came up with Maddrox’s split personality for X-Factor at a number of conventions. It was an idea that I had which he took and ran with to flesh it out. There have been other times we have been brainstorming and we work off of each other’s ideas building to something very cool. But if an idea just doesn’t work, we tell each other. There was something Peter wanted to do in a comic but he came to me first because the subject matter was, at that time, a keg of dynamite. I told him to stay as far away from it as possible. Later someone was bullied off the Internet because of the same subject matter. Bullet dodged.
Yes we have that cute or unfortunate ability to finish each other’s sentences. We try to not do that in public. There are times I am his memory about events that have happened in our lives or some piece of trivia that he needs and he’s my spell checker.
We hold hands in public and in private. Sometimes for support and sometimes because it is nice to hold hands.
We don’t hide things from one and other except gifts and we stink at that.
We know each other’s likes, dislikes and allergies.
We just know each other very well.
Ours, to me, is a very comfortable marriage and it is the kind of marriage I need to be in.
Happy Anniversary Peter! Here’s to another 18 years and more. By the way for the 36th anniversary the present suggest is bone china which is a form of porcelain.
I am grateful for my marriage with Peter.
