Checklist, have you got one?

Embedded image from another site


Had a great day today I did.
Meet up with a mate I hadn't seen for a while. wave
We had a counter meal together and started chatting as if it was only yesterday that we last saw each other, (when in fact in was about 3 years ago). pizza burger
After all the pleasantries of, g’day mate, howya doin? We then we got down to serious chat stuff.
He started by telling me that New Years Eve this year will be his 30th Wedding Anniversary.
Good god I said has it been that long, Christ you don’t get that long for murder.
Now he knew I was Divorced, (after all it was his sister that I married), Billy, (that’s his name) then said to me, “Simmo, mate, your problem was you didn't keep a checklist”, A checklist I repeated, what sort of checklist I asked. He said “a checklist that a guy should keep from the day they are married”. What sort of checklist Billy?, “well Simmo a checklist that allows you to check on all the things that have happened from the day you are married, things like presents you have given her, photo albums of the wedding day, Things the good wife does for you, a checklist that reminds you of how much you love the wife, that sort of checklist he said”.
Ok Billy, what is does your checklist consists of then I asked as we downed our first stubbie (beer).
“Well In our wedding album there are 53 photos, Denise” (that’s his wife’s name) “hopping into the wedding car, Denise getting into her wedding dress, saying bye to mum, and to dad, Photo’s of Denise walking down the aisle, even photo’s of Denise with her bridal party, Now of the 53 photo’s there were only 2, that i was in, and one of them was just me and Denise, I was looking at it last week and noticed that it was missing, and I asked Denise what happened to it”, she replied, Bill darling, I don’t need a photo of you, I see you every day in real life and that’s more important to me. “Now i am in one, yep just ONE, and that’s the photo of me signing the wedding certificate, in fact you can only see my hand, that’s all. And that’s to prove I signed the bloody thing”.
What else is on your checklist I inquired again, ‘well” said Billy, “when we got engaged, I bought her the most beautiful single diamond ring money could buy”, I told him I remembered that, and that it was beautiful, “Well anyway” he continues, “Last Sunday Denise was doing her usual cooking of Sunday lunch for me”, (she has done the same thing now for 30 years), “well anyway, as she put my baked beans and toast down in front of me, I saw a ring on her finger that I hadn't seen before, it had a dozen diamonds in it, so I asked her where’s the engagement ring dear”?, She replied, this is the engagement ring sweetheart, I said” that’s not the ring I gave you”, YES it is, I just had it reset, “WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAD IT RESET?”, well it was kinda getting out of date and old, so I thought our marriage is still as good as new, so I had it reset with 12 diamonds was Denise’s answer.

great story simmo and as usual it proves who really is the boss in a marriage rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
Nessa,
I guess unfortunately, some of us have to take the good with the bad, it really does show me that love can be a hit or miss thing.
Not quite sure what the "real" definition of love is, but some people are luckier in love than others.teddybear

Although Billy is quite a character and one of the easiest going guys i know, nothing seems to phase him.confused confused
I enjoyed your story simmo ..thankyou it is funny .
SIMMO THANK YOU.

My parents' marriage was not exactly happy.
But to call it a failure, too, is impossible.
Normal, arithmetic mean.
But one terrible day, my mother was hit by a car.
(mom survived).
And we all see and understand it, who's the boss in the house.

Firstly i am glad your mum was ok.
I guess there are a lot of marriages that may not be as joyous but lasting non the less.
