Today our marriage turns sixteen.
I guess this means our marriage is old enough to drive but still young enough to be spontaneous and care free.
It’s a milestone for a variety of reasons.
Once you pass 15 years there is no longer a suggestion for the gift you are to buy to commemorate an anniversary.
At first glance it might appear you’re off the hook until year 20.
But 16 years of marriage has prepared me for this type of moment.
I see through the potentially dangerous pitfall and will still present a gift, some expression that says "I remember."
I’m just trying to figure out how to fit some new sheetrockers in a box!

Happy anniversary!
Might I suggest something simple to give your lovely wife…like a diamond ring or an Alaskan cruise?

Happy anniversary. Perhaps some Sonny’s BBQ Pork for your bride?

Happy Anniversary! As good as it is now, it gets even better! Love you guys.

Happy 16th from someone who is edging 30! Forget the Sonny’s. I say it’s time for a road trip to the Wood Ranch!
Peace.

It only took you 16 years to completely lose your edge! Nothing … NOTHING … says, “I love you” more than a new guitar w/ case!!!

Happy anniversary to you both! You’ve had enough crass suggestions (your own included), so I won’t try to add to that and immediately go to my softer side (okay, so I don’t really have any other side!). I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, you’ll come up with something sweet!!

I would never give my lover a man in a box, however she has received freezer repairs…
