That's right, 8 years ago today, me and Mrs. Dirty Country got hitched.

You say, "5.5 out of 8 years"? Considering just over 50% of marriages end in divorce, I think 68.75% is pretty good.

seriously, I am a lucky guy. I have a pretty cool, hot, ambitious lady who lets me drink, build pedals and fart when I need without overreacting. I'd wish she make me a sandwich...just once, but hey I can't be choosy, right.

You have probably seen these before, but today is a good day to show 'em again:

Our First Date:

Our Wedding (Playing punk tunes with our short lived band, STAINUS). Yes, she is playing bass in her wedding dress.

Awesome Rob and congrats. Mine makes me a sandwich and dinner even but then we've been hitched 25 years and I was farting while we were dating so you can imagine what I've progressed to now :mrgreen:

Haha - 5.5 out of 8 years is pretty good! Congrats to you and Mrs. DC.

BTW I love the wedding pic. Seriously it looks like those sitcom episodes where they flash back to the characters in college, and they have different hair and clothes but are otherwise the same.

Awesome! Great photos.

My wife and I have only been married for 8 months, but we've been together over 8 years, so I feel your pain...er...pleasure?

I hear ya, definitely, different times, but not that long ago.

Sadly, the two other people in the picture are not in our lives anymore. Lisa, the singer, was my wife's best & oldest friend and our maid of honor.....she sadly took her own life a little over a year after our wedding. Shame, too, she was funny as hell and by far the best singer I ever worked with. Joe, the drummer, was a good friend and singer of a band I was in for a while (Late Model Jesus), who basically went crazy and force me and most of his friends out of his life. I have not spoken to him in 7 years (and I am better off for it).

Still good times. People say our wedding was the best they ever went to, even their own. It was not fancy, but we partied. Bands played and I programmed all the music, so we played plenty of punk, new wave, cheesy 80's one hit wonders, classic hip-hop, metal, old school funk/motown/R&B, etc......not typical wedding music. Good times.

Very cool Rob, thanks for sharing. Love the pics and the story.

Being married for over 19 years now looking back at our wedding and reception pictures always fills me with love, joy, and sadness as we discuss the people in the photos and what has become of them since then.

Us, we are still the same of course, but those other people... Geeeeez :shock:

Came home to find my wife maybe dinner (trust me that doesn't happen often). Some chicken cacciatore with shitake mushrooms noodles. Nice.

Maybe in a little bit, she give me the goods.....

....you know what I am talking about.....

.....what every married man craves to get once every few months.....



...... A chance to watch a baseball game from beginning to end without having to do a chore, run an errand or talk.

Probably not, though. I'll probably end up having to fornicate during the 5th inning.

The sacrifices we make for them sometimes......

Congrats man.

They say that 5 and a half is the leather and dog collar anniversary.

Use that little tidbit for good only.

What's hot?

My wife playing bass in a wedding dress?
The lesbian maid of honor wearing combat boots?
The Bill Ward lookalike drummer?
My Anglo-fro?

Or in true DIY/Gear Geekdom, did you see a piece of gear you liked?

I was talking about the hottie bass player. But honorable mention goes to the ever-so-slight suggestion of a knee-length package in your trousers. A trick of the light? Beer splatter on the camera lens? Reflection off the lower tele bout? Or a ridiculously huge wang? I guess nobody but the blushing bride will ever know. :lol:

One look at the exposed knee's in that first photo, and it's obvious you were made for each other. You can tell by the "knee language" going on. BTW, I don't even want to do something I LIKE for 8 years. Congrats to the both of you.
