Big clue, try to remember your wife's name. Mine's called Mummy; or at least that's what the little people in the house call her. The Monday after we met, my boss got hold of my phone and changed her name to Wife. It has stayed that way on all phones I've had since.
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

But...but...it was engraved on the inside of the wedding band so I wouldn't have to commit it to memory. Unfortunately the ring is in the shop being re-rounded, so it's no help at the moment.

It seems like only yesterday. I was at the Christmas party down the pub; a party I'd not wanted to go to but a mate needed a wingman to keep him out of trouble. There on the dance floor, strutting her funky stuff was a vision, a beauty, one hell of a hot chick. The Neanderthal in me kicked in, "mine" I though. The conversation was brief and to the point. "You dancing?" "You asking?" "I'm asking." "I'm dancing." We danced and, when the music slowed, I took her in my arms and it was right. Later we found a quiet spot to chat and get to know each other. I kissed her with abandon; she took off the band and I kissed her again. When it was time to leave, I didn't want to let her go so I invited her back to my place. We went and talked through the night until the sun came up; then she went home and I had to go to work for a couple of hours. We had dinner that night and by the middle of the week, I'd rearranged my Christmas plans to spend as much time as possible with her and go away for New Year together. We married on 5th May 2001, less than five months later, and I must confess as every day passes I love her more and more. Tomorrow we'll go out for dinner and have a little bit of romance for a change. This is our day, it's not shared with friends and family it's just for Mrs Wife and Vilmos.

I laughed out loud. Thanks, and congratulations on a beautiful relationship.

I'm sometimes relieved that I married a luddite, barely know how to open a browser, certainly has neither the interest nor the skills to chase down something in the OTHER browser. It must be weird being married to a professional peer, if a conversation gets too technical I can see the wife's eyes glaze and know it is time to change the subject.

My wife and I had an epiphany today. Over the phone I walked her through the process of resetting our broadband connection (power cycle the cable modem then the router) and neither one of us got pissed off during the exercise. Amazing.

Oh no she doesn't oppose it, absolutely loves it as long as someone else (muggins here) deals with it.

My wife heartily disapproves of it, especially when I'm not immediately at hand to keep it working.
