11 years...Steel!

[Behind the Aegis]

My partner and I are celebrating our 11 year anniversary today! Of course, he has a cold and my allergies are in high gear, so the gifts this year are Kleenex! LOL!

No official recognition, of course, because, well, we are in Oklahoma, but 11 years all the same. We met in OKC at a bar called "The Park." I have been lucky ever since...he got the consolation prize. HA! But, he is stuck with me now! I am like chewing gum on the sole of a sneaker, he ain't NEVER getting rid of me!

Anyway, I thought I would share our happy news. Have a great weekend all.



Oh, gifts are readily accepted.

I hope you both feel better soon - bummer to be sick when you want to celebrate.

5. Congratulations!!!!

Although I have to say "steel" is weird...almost like paper being appropriate for whatever number anniversary that is.

[Behind the Aegis]

35. Thanks! Paper is first...just give money! LOL!

He got a Keurig coffee spinner. Close enough.

[swimboy]

12. Best wishes to you both

and many happy years to come!

One year we needed to replace a toilet in our house and jokingly referred to it as our anniversary gift. When I looked up the gift list--it was the porcelain year!

I hope you are both feeling better in no time at all.

[Behind the Aegis]

42. Gratitude (was watching "Spartacus!"). Your post made us both "LOL!"

[beemer27]

13. Happy Anniversary!

After the first couple of years you should both know all the good, and bad, about each other. Congratulations on making it this far. May you have another happy 11, and then another, and another, and another, etc.

[Behind the Aegis]

43. Thanks so much. I look forward to many more.

[yellerpup]

14. Happy Anniversary!

You create a lot of beauty with your love. Celebrate your fine selves!

[Behind the Aegis]

44. Thanks and what a lovely remark! Made me smile.

[timdog44]

15. Congratulations.

I take steel is the 11 year anniversary gift. Good on you both.

Of course you realize that the modern 11th gift is fashion jewelry.

[Behind the Aegis]

45. Thanks! Steel is traditional. Neither of us are "jewelry" people.

The irony, is the dental hygienist (I had three crowns put in yesterday) suggested steel jewelry.

[timdog44]

63. Well good luck still, and congratulations.

And good luck with three crowns at once. I hate getting used to just one.

[meti57b]

16. Mazel Tov!!!

[Behind the Aegis]

46. Toda, chevera!

[calimary]

Congratulations! May you have many MORE happy years together!

[Behind the Aegis]

47. Thank you, and I hope we have many more years too! :)

[Mira]

18. I am so very happy for you and for him as well.

When it's right it's right.
And it sounds like a solid union.
2-22 has always been a good date for me as well, a good one for new beginnings for some reason.
Congratulations.
Carry on!

[Behind the Aegis]

48. Heehee! I appreciate it!

It is actually 2-22-2002...that's a buncha two's! It is my favorite number and I think it represents a strong connection to two people, us. I thought about a picture, but, we are both sick and no reason to scare the shit out of people because we don't feel good. LOL!

[Mira]

64. The picture can wait

as long as you post it, or at lest send it to me.

WOW about the 2-22-2002

20. Congrats to you two...

I have been married 19 years. Once you get past the 10 year mark you must be doing something right. I hope one day we can climb out of the dark ages and you two can enjoy the same benefits us straight folk do.

[Behind the Aegis]

50. I appreciate it. It would be nice to have those rights, but I do enjoy having him anyway! :)

[handmade34]

51. LOL! Thanks! That was sweet!

[Hekate]

22. Happy Anniversary, Aegis!

And many more...

[Behind the Aegis]

52. I appreciate it, fellow Hellenophile(I am guessing).

[Bibliovore]

23. And many, many more!

Congratulations to both of you, and best wishes for a healthier week and a wonderful year!

(Your steel/kleenex juxtaposition reminds me of a Larry Niven essay from long ago on the impracticalities of Superman having a physical relationship with Lois Lane, called "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex." %) )

[Behind the Aegis]

53. Much appreciated and welcome to DU.

[HillWilliam]

24. Mazel Tov, dears!!

[uriel1972]

27. Congratulations!

I'd say Mazel Tov, but I'm not totally sure what it means. However from the context it seems to mean congratulations.

[Behind the Aegis]

57. I appreciate it. "Mazel Tov" means "Good Luck," but it is used as a congratulations.
