Thanks Arkady. Who changed the standards? I guess it’s a reflection of the fact so fewer marriages last more than 10 years these days, let alone 60 years!
But as DIBS said, I’m an old fashioned guy…at least when it comes to anniversary customs.
Biffers – I just looked it up in The Book of Lists & tin or aluminium are the traditional 10-yr gifts but the modern observance is diamonds.
Congrats, though. And kudos to Mrs. C for lasting so long!

“partnership” involves monogymy. you merely have a relationship of convenience. (im assuming some sort of financial convenience or benefit)

biff, congrats on 10 years. In defence of the Mrs, she has had to endure your puns for 10 years, or does she have a tin ear for puns?

“Actually Biff, I’ve been partnered for over 12 years.”
With how many people?
Arkady, Biff’s an old fashioned kind of guy.

And you can blame the Chinese for the rising prices.
“Tin has skyrocketed in price this year whereas diamonds have hardly moved at all.”
Thanks DIBS, I’ll use that in my rebuttal.
(re-write?)
Actually Biff, I’ve been partnered for over 12 years. Surprised that you’ve been married 10 years. Congratulations.
