26 YEARS OF WEDDED BLISS

It was 26 years ago today on a rainy cold day after Thanksgiving at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in Norristown where I married Danielle Romano (aka Avalon). We met in Avalon, NJ. She and her friends rented the dump next to the dump me and my friends had rented for the summer. We met in 1988 and were married in 1990.

Twenty six years later, we’ve raised three boys, and we’re still happily married. She does still squeeze the toothpaste from the top and puts the toilet paper roll on backwards. But, I’ve learned to live with that. She’s learned to live with a cranky SOB.

Here’s a few pictures from the good old days before digital cameras. She still looks the same. I’m fat and bald. So it goes.

Thanks for the invite and all the hard work I know you put into making TBP a class A news site. And, I as much as I relish busting Stuck’s balls, he so effectively projects his butt-hurt amongst other TBPers that I don’t think it worth the turbulent whine he sets in motion every time his ass gets cracked sideways. I do enjoy reading TBP and still forward/tweet all your articles to my various web acquaintances, which I hope helps red pill one or two and perhaps increase readership by as many as well.

As soon as I can corral my courage enough face the fiercest shit flinging monkey on the web,I’ll wade back in and take my licks.
Until then, Happy Thanksgiving to all and let’s make America great again,

Behind every great woman is a great man (or something like that). Congrats on your anniversary. You’ve got 2 years and 2 offspring ahead of me and my spouse. And ditto on the “she still looks the same and I’m fat and balding” part.

Congrats. Long term marriages are such a blessing to not only the couple but also to their circle of friends and family. Sadly, they’re more of a rarity anymore.
I’m very grateful to still have a solid marriage nearly four decades on.

Congrats to both of you, Admin. Just curious, but the third picture down…was that taken at the Delta Tau Chi house? Striking resemblance to “Boon”…
