Marriage Is a Big Step Let’s Not Rush Into It …This Is Priceless
Clarence and Mabel were almost high school sweethearts.
They met at a school dance in 1943.
She liked swing music.
He liked silence.
From day one, Clarence said, “You talk too much.”
Mabel smiled and replied, “And you listen too little.”
They’ve been sharing sweet nothings ever since.
They dated for eighty years.
Not because of romance…
…but because Clarence said,
“Marriage is a big step. Let’s not rush into it.”
During that time, they:
- Raised four kids who moved out for peace and quiet.
- Fought over sixty-seven TV remotes.
- Survived 1,924 divorce threats from Mabel.
- Received zero marriage proposals from Clarence.
Until last week.
At age 103, Clarence stood up, turned to Mabel, and said,
“I guess you’re not going anywhere, huh?”
She shot back,
“Only to your funeral if you don’t hurry up and propose.”
So he did — right after popping his hip out of place.
Their wedding was small.
Mostly because most of their friends were either in heaven…
…or forgot they RSVP’d.
During the vows, Clarence mumbled,
“Do I have to say ‘I do’?”
And Mabel, without missing a beat, replied,
“You better. I waited too long.”
Eighty years late, but right on time.
