Just sat musing my wife’s wedding ring jangled (I wear it on a chain round my neck)took me back,many times I said to her let me buy you a new one,she always said this is the ring you married me with and here it stays.
We were married on the 12th I was deployed on the 13th so the wedding was pretty rushed,registry office minimum witnesses,no photographs,no reception etc just us.
I often said let’s re-new our vows,her comment was do you still love me because I still love you and of course I said yes.
Well she would say let’s just go on a fabulous holiday instead,oh I do miss her so much.

Hi Ron. They sound like some lovely memories.
I’m sitting in our garden in the sun just now, having a cup of tea and wishing he was here with me too. Remembering him feels a little less painful at the moment but I’m still a complete mess and probably will be for a while.
Hope your day is as good as can be.
Sending some love and hugs xx

Thanks Roni.
Bittersweet but yes they are.
Love Ron.
Your marriage sounds wonderful. This is such a hard road to travel. We lose them over and over again, everything around us triggers a memory of a moment we had with them, a laugh, a cuddle, a meeting of eyes. And we realise that will never happen again. It is like being repeatedly bereaved and it is so very hard.
I miss my husband too, we should be on holiday this weekend.
Just a little cottage on a riverbank for the weekend. We tried to get away for a couple of nights now and then. Nothing fancy, just me and him sitting together looking at the view holding hands.
But he is still here in my heart, as your lovely wife is in your heart. That is where they will always be. I wear his wedding ring on my middle finger.
We were their happy ever afters.

Morning Ron, I wear Rays wedding ring I took it off his finger after he passed, he had worn it for 52 years. When we got married we had only known each other a few weeks and a lot of people said it wouldn’t last but we proved them wrong. We ,arrived in our garrison church in Germany, like him I was in the Army. Happy memories.

Your wife sounds like my kind of gal @Ron11 . A holiday would be much more beneficial and a lot more fun. 
If I’m honest, I really don’t get renewing vows… if you haven’t broken them, why renew? Just my thoughts…

Hi Kate.
I always felt a bit guilty I deprived her of her big day,you know dress,flowers,cake,reception etc,her answer was always does having all that mean we love each other more.
a question that needs no answer.

Hi Ron,
You didn’t deprive your lovely wife of anything, she was marrying the man she loved and that would have been all that mattered to her.

Indeed, I would get married in a garden shed and live in it afterwards.
You obviously made her very happy. Much more precious than a white frock.
