anniversaries and symbols

not fishing related but i am curious as to if any one would know of what item goes with each year of marriage . eg 25 years is silver , 50 years is gold . i know they have one for every year. the one i am after is 10 years as our anniversary is coming up and i want to do something special rather than the usual flowers and stuff. maybe some of the "OLD FARTS" might knowLaughing

Coal

Tue, 2010-08-10 11:29

diamonds are compressed coal aren't they? Just include a note that the diamonds will be ready around 7010. Besides it's hard to fish with an Aluminium saucepan jammed over your ears.

That's very one sided

from a blokes perspective.  After 5 yrs you may wangle a timber boat and then upgrade after another 5 yrs to an aluminium jobby.  Other than that your screwed (and that may not be as frequently as you'd like either).

Well, if you're in a good relationship, then sex is what fills the gaps between the once a year events. If you're not in a good relationship, then sex may be the once a year event, haha.

Ahhhhh young pup aint new

Ahhhhh young pup aint new love grand. Trust me even with your analytical engineering brain, as much as you may think you'll be able, you will never be able to work them out. If by some superhuman feat you do work them out, my friend you will become the most wealthy guru known to man. But you will be hated by them all and promptly castrated so i guess it a catch 22.Laughing

Cheers Mick
