Yesterday, (21st April,) was our Silver Wedding Anniversary, an event we had originally planned to celebrate by having a party for family, friends and the Nelsonica team. Obviously, the Coronavirus lockdown has put paid to that idea, as has the very sad passing of my mother which overshadows our mood at the moment.
To 'put the tin lid on it' as they say, I suffered a nasty fall yesterday, twisting my ankle and receiving cuts, gashes and sprains to various body parts. My ankle is currently swollen and painful and I can't walk without intense discomfort so it looks like I'm housebound for more reasons than the social distancing required by the lockdown.
I was also meant to travel to Wakefield to deal with the sorting out and clearing of my mother's home but that will now have to wait a few days until I get my mobility back.
Feeling fed up and depressed but Emiko continues to be my shining light. Her love and care for my well being never ceases to astonish me. Why she would love such a muggins as me is beyond comprehension, but I love her dearly and am deeply grateful that she shares her life with me. We've known each other and had a deep relationship longer than the 25 years of our actual marriage, but it's lovely to reach the Silver Wedding marker. I'm nothing without her.

I think celebrating 25 years together is awesome, like hitting a major milestone in a video game or something. It's all about the journey, right? Whether it's been smooth sailing or a rollercoaster ride, reaching this point deserves a big shout-out.
For anyone thinking about how to mark the occasion, I stumbled upon some classy wedding tuxedos that could add that extra touch of elegance to your celebrations. Check them out here: https://www.gentlemansguru.com/product-category/wedding-tuxedos/
Remember, it's not just about the fancy outfits but about cherishing the memories and the love that got you here. Here's to many more years of happiness and adventures together!
time doesn't stop love for one another, it only makes it more loving and true.
beautiful photo's so brilliantly sweet, god bless you both, and keep you well, and healthy through this 'orrible lot of letdowns at this moment!!!!!
Happy belated and delayed anniversaries!
Just want to say that every day with my wife Emiko feels like a beautiful celebration. I'm a very lucky guy!😉
Poor Bill! 😆 Still, silver +1 is still something to acknowledge and celebrate! 🥂
Our silver wedding anniversary, (and the related diary entry,) was in April 2020, not 2021!! We didn't get to celebrate it due to last year's lockdown...and didn't even get a later celebration this April due to the second lockdown, so I guess we'll have to hang on until next April now, by which time we'll be two years too late. 😉
Great pictures. Glad you have found happiness in each other. Enjoy good conversations and meals together. 😁😎
An incredibly beautiful and happy couple! I hope my marriage will be just as long and beautiful :з !
You couldn't make it up.
...are we in a Monty Python sketch?
😉
Happy Anniversary and get well!!!
This was just over a year ago!😉
Happy anniversary to you both.
Hopefully you will recover quickly.
😭 Bill & Emiko are the sweetest straight couple of all time 💖
I really hope Bill recovered quickly after this. It's very disheartening to read when he has issues!! I wish I could give up some of my youth and donate it to Bill. Darn it, science! Get there! We need to save the rock stars!!
A glowing landmark in the gloom. Congratulations.
Congratulations to you both, feel better soon Bill.
So happy for you both. I feel better knowing you have a loving, supportive wife to get you through the day and night. Spend time with Emiko. Peace.
Congratulations to 'Jet Silver and his Doll of Venus' (see what i did there). 😉
Many Congratulations Bill and Emilio. Hope you feel stronger soon Bill. Take care and Stay Safe.
Hope you feel better soon Bill.
Congratulations to you both, on your Silver Wedding Anniversary.
My own mum and dad were married 57 years, so you have a long way to go yet.
All the best.
