Hi people, this topic could be a follow-on from the previous topic of "how did u meet ur Thai wife" I should have posted this yesterday however, I'm happy to tell the world that my wife and I have passed a significant mile stone on the 15th of August 2005, our "20th wedding anniversay"

Lets hear from some others who have been married for "ages" and have a Thai marrige certificate to prove it. It's been a hard journey with a few bumpy patches but I reckon we could still see another 20, lets hope so.

Celebrated a year (paper?) with the ball and chain at the end of April. And even got the official paperwork done at the Las Vegas style Bangrak marrige office, or "Love Village". Sheesh...

Once I learnt how to dodge the household appliances I reckoned we were on the right track!

21 so far. She keeps mentioning a big 25 party. I'd be quite happy with a decent bottle of red and Match of the Day.

We had our 5th Anniversary in April but at a distance. She was at home in Klong Lan Pattana and I was away in Lahore, Pakistan.

Still there is always next year.

The really bad news is that I also mised our sons 1st birthday but I will be home in a couple of weeks. I wonder if he will remember me?

Congrats to you long timers. I hope to join the club one day. Share the secrets of your success with us.

Beat the wife once a day before meals, or was that eat my pills? My memory is getting bad.

Married 14+ years and wouldn't trade a minute of it for anything. We officially registered our marriage on Christmas Day, which was coincidental, but easy to remember.

There are two important reasons why people forget when they get older. The first thing is the loss of short term memory. And the second thing is......

...Sorry, I forget what it is.

congrats all

I am lucky, I have two wedding anniversaries every year, Thai one and a UK one

my husband is not so lucky

Celebrated our 13th anniversary earlier this year.

I am a relative newbie compared to most of you guys.......

It will be 2 years in October.

We have some differences of opinion.....

But we have a great life and I wouldn't change anything! !

Do Thais traditionally remember and celebrate wedding anniversaries?

I know that birthdays are not held in the same esteem as they are in Western culture.

Yeah, I was thinking that! My wife never remembers, and doesn't really care. Until I mention it and she says " How much you give me"

We will be celebrating our 35th anniversary in Bangkok this December! Looking forward to quite a few more.
