You'll like this story, Joan:
We lived together for one year, then got married right after
she got the divorce from husband #1.
For our first wedding anniversary, my wife took my wedding
band to a jeweler to have it resized a bit and polished.
She also had him engrave "FOREVER" on the inside.
That was nice.

7 years later, she left and ran off with her also married boss.
I guess 9 years living with me *seemed* like forever. lol
