In a nutshell, that’s us. We started low-key (no real romantic dates — we both worked part-time in the same Brooklyn drug store) and have similarly continued for more than half a century (Yikes!) Sure, we’ve had many, many exciting highs but rarely have they centered upon our anniversary. No surprise parties (Carol would have a coronary), expensive dinners (we both have questionable tastebuds … basically none), or grandiose gifts (don’t forget Carol’s middle name is Miser).
However with the advent of social media, I do feel compelled to post a picture each year with a suitable caption and that’s the hardest part. You want a quip that is cute but not cringey. Here’s my short list:
– Life update: we’re still together.
-My favorite lifetime subscription.
– Same time next year?
-Celebrating that I get to have sleepovers with Carol and Loki each night.
-My love for you still gives me the same feeling as when I see an Asian Buffet.
-I guess I forgot to cancel our 30-day marriage trial.
-We’re still the perfect pair … never enough energy to divorce.
