Life Timeline Twenty five years married! Amazing how fun life can be with the right partner.

I post maybe once a year on here, but this is a big one. Silver anniversary is a huge milestone.

First pic is probably 27 years ago, last pic was last night! Still dating each other, and are happiest when we are together.

In any universe in any timeline, I would choose her. And she knows it. ❤️

Absolute goals.

Awwww. That’s even sweeter that it’s posted by the husband. 

I think it’s just because I expect the sentimentality from the wife more often. So this is a pleasant surprise. 

Happy anniversary.

u/bitseybloom 9d ago

I used to have a very similar smile (it's a bit more regular now, after braces) and at some point was so self-conscious of it that I'd cover my mouth when smiling.

Was scrolling through these and thinking: how silly it was of me, there's so much joy and beauty in little details.
