Rikki, congratulations...marriages like this are rare today..

To the same guy???? Congratulations.
I played a 50th anniversary last night. By the way, Rikki, it was my first night back using the Ketron Midjay. I enjoyed the night at least as much as the couple did!
I wish you many more happy years together.
DonM

Congratulations Rikki. That is a wonderful achievement. I wish you both continued happiness in the future.

Rikki,
Congratulations, multiple triumphs, music and marital longevity. I maintain an interest in your comments in various forums and also a little envious of your competent knowledge in many facits of what is a very enjoyable hobby, making music.
Regards from Melbourne,
Keith

Hi Rikki
Many congratulations to you and your wife.May there be many many more years for you both.
What is satisfying is that you are obviously so delighted about this landmark that you want to tell the world about it! Good on 'yer
BTW My wife and I were also married in February. I remember how it snowed on the day here.In Sydney it was probably in the 90's on your day?
Just for the record we have just celebrated the reverse of your years.
cheers
Eddie Johnson

Eddie, may I whisper to you so nobody else hears : "Rikki is the wife"
Regards
Keith

Or, in Oz, Rikki's the sheila!

Congrats to you and your joey....

Hi Rikki

What a surprise. I thought you were a youngster. Why, you're my age, and that's scary.

Congratulations
Bernie

My congratulations Rikki, hope you manage 70 years...

OT....the husband of my wife's cousin, was heard recently mumbling something like: "in my 33th year of marriage with her, I will be declared a saint!!!", so if your husband doesn't have a halo, you are doing the right thing!!!

All the best to you and your husband. Congratulations.

Congratulations...42 and counting for us (that is if I still remember how to count)!

Rikki, I am surprised....35 years even after all those keyboards. You could do another 35 years if you just stayed with software....you can't see software!!!

Hope you have many more!!!

Frank

Thank you everyone for your kind wishes.
Wow, some of you have even been married longer than us.

Don, you've gone back to a Midjay ( as well as your new PA800?)

Eddie, don't worry, Rikki's a strange name for a female even in Aust.. Most people can't pronounce my real name when they see it written ( Ulrike) so I decided to shorten it to Rikki. Now they just get my gender confused instead of my name haa haa.

Bernie, how could a youngster have that wealth of "useless" knowledge I've accumalated over the years?? Actually I was a child bride , snatched from the cradle, 36 years old next birthday "I WISH" haahaa.

thanks again everyone.

best wishes
Rikki

Happy Anniversary Rikki......
25 next yr for me....heck, today you need 3 marriages to make 35yrs

Enjoy it!!

That's no problem to pronounce, it sounds very Scandinavian,
and also in most of Europe your name is quite common.

Congrats with your 35 years, myself I've "only" counted 33 so far..
and that's with the same wife!

Cheers
GJ

Congratulations, Rikki and hubby.

Gunnar, pretty close. Ulrike is a german name.

Congratulations, you two! My wife and I are closing in on 36 years.

Re. Diki's line, "to you and your 'joey'." Isn't a 'joey' a young kangaroo?

Kathleen and I will be 43 years in July...Go figure...different interest..fire and water and all that stuff...


another teenage bride

Here is Rikki..

Hi Jonny,
not over here in Australia. In all the years I've lived here, I've only ever met one lady with the same name.
Rather freaky really I met her at a teddybear show, turned out she lived down the road, created miniature teddy bears ( which is also a hobby of mine , hence Rikki's Bears username) and we both came from Austria originally.

Small world.

As Taike mentioned, I think the name is German origan.

Congratulations to Ricky and Hub for putting up with each other for a good bunch of years. True Love is boundless and full of understanding, and obviously you two have that.
best to you in the next 35 years from Bebop and Jann in year 32, and looking forward to more
Bebop

Happy anniversary, Rikki! You are one of the nicest persons on this Forum.

Thanks Taike,
had no idea of the origin or meaning of my name.
Gathered it was either German or Austrian(having been born in Austria).

thanks again

best wishes
Rikki

Thanks , Bebop, Keith, Starkeepeeper & Dreamer , & Everyone Else,
I'm totally overwhelmed.

best wishes
Rikki

Good job your husband doesn't worry about you living up to your name!

Haa Haa Haa,
good one Diki.

Just as well he doesn't read forum.

Had a feeling the parents got the name wrong.

You guys are so funny. Luv the humour.

best wishes
Rikki

HI RIKKI,
Many years ago I got my first piano playing job in a big band. I had been playing trumpet before. Our Lead tenor and arranger was a guy named Wayne Ulrike from Germany, same last name as your first name. He was the best big band composer/arranger I ever knew. tremendous talent. Having read many of your posts, I conclude that you too have a tremendous talent.
Best to ya,
Bebop
PS: I have been married for 57 years.
(off and on)

Hi Bebop,
now that's interesting, my christian name can be used as a surname as well.

I think enthusiasm has more to do with it than talent. haa haa.
That nice.

Wow, 57 years. You were originally snatched from the cradle too. haa haa

best wishes
Rikki
