Anniversary story

13 years 3 months ago #21128 by jennyjohn52
Just thought I'd tell all that my husband and I will be celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary tomorrow. My husband turned 86 today and I'm 58. Yes, it's a big age difference - but marrying was the best decision I've ever made. And believe me, I had to kiss a lot of frogs (not one of which ever turned into a Prince.) Finally the right guy came along - already in "PRINCE" form.

We met on the internet in 2001 and he wouldn't marry me until he turned 77 because his dad passed away at the age of 76 and John was afraid he would, too. So... we got married the day after his 77th birthday.

It's a story I share with all because I want people to know there truly are storybook endings in life - I was lucky enough to star in one.

My husband is John Margotta, johnm to those on this site.

Happiness and love have odd ways of entering our lives. Congrats to you two for celebrating that love.

Congrats on your anniversary.

My husband and I also met from the internet. We met from an AOL chatroom August 4, 1998. Been together every since. The only time we been apart is when he was deployed to Iraq for a year.

I told all my "friends" who thought age was the problem that I'd rather spend 5 years with my JM that a lifetime with the other "J**KS I had the misfortune to be involved with. And 9 years later, I still feel that way.

Congratulations to you, too, then. Meeting on the internet has become somewhat commonplace now, I guess. I don't know how long you two have been together, but 10 years ago it caused some raised eyebrows. I moved from a fairly small town in the Puget Sound Area of WA area to Orange County, CA, so it was something of a cultural shock. And the only time we've been apart is when I've had to travel for business.
