I have to laugh! we were so stupid back then but fortunately God had a plan. He was shipping out in a week (Army) I happened to have a day off so ta-da! We got married! We'll have our 43rd anniversary Feb. 17 - and we still delight in each other's company, eat dinner by candlelight at least weekly. He brings me coffee in bed every morning and I hide little hearts in his ski boots, banjo case, etc. We thank God for each other and His blessings on our marriage. "And they lived happily ever after." The end

We were in Vegas at an APA pool tourament. The strip bus stopped out front of the Little White Wedding Chapel for a pick up and he said this is our stop. We held hands as we walked right to the door and walked in and I was dumber that a box of rocks. Married 20 minutes later. It has been 14 years.

I needed a good father for my son who was seven at the time. I was a single parent and prayed for the best life mate and got a winner! 35 years later we had two more sons and life Is good!

Let's see -- DH #1 said he would kill himself if I didn't and I didn't want him to hurt himself -- I stayed 26 years and he found a mistress and tried to make a trio of us -- DH # 2 wasloving and warm -- He died after 13 years..
Now I just got married again to the most wonderful, caring guy -- He thinks I am perfect and admires my quilting and computer skills. This was a total surprise after 14 years of being a widow.
So it is never too late to find happiness
