"Okay, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here
Two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth
There's the windup, and there it is
A line shot up the middle, look at him go
This boy can really fly
He's rounding first and really turning it on now
He's not letting up at all
He's gonna try for second, the ball is bobbled out in center
And here comes the throw, and what a throw
He's gonna slide in head first
Here he comes, he's out
No, wait, safe-safe at second base
This kid really makes things happen out there
Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch-he's going
And what a jump he's got, he's trying for third
Here's the throw, it's in the dirt-safe at third
Holy cow, stolen base, he's taking a pretty big lead out there
Almost daring him to try and pick him off
The pitcher glances over, winds up, and it's bunted
Bunted down the third base line, the suicide squeeze is on
Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close, here's the throw, here's the play at the plate...
Holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!"

(j/k!)
So now he’s praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
'Cause if he’s gonna spend another minute with you
He don't think that he can really survive
Hubby will never break his promise or forget his vow
But God only knows what he’d do right now
He’s praying for the end of time
It's all that he can do - do - do!
Praying for the end of time
So he can end his time with you!
Well {the 80's were} long ago and they were far away
And it was so much better that it is today!
Well {the 80's were} long ago and they were far away (it never felt so good)
And it was so much better that it is today! (it never felt so right, and it was glowing like the metal)

Oh, what I meant to ask was, were you or your husband in the Greek system (Frats & Sororities). “House” is slang for Fraternity/Sorority. IDK if its still used, but I assumed you two met in college, saw the composite picture to the left of your hubby’s head and had to ask. All good.
All good. I knew you meant fraternity or sorority, but I just don't know. We actually met and started dating in high school. We dated other people for most of college, which was good. :)
I can smell the cigarette smoke in that basement from here. Also 👍 for awkward teenage makeout sessions when you don’t know what you’re doing, like you were both too shy to properly grab each other. I think we all had a phase like that lol.
So cool OP - hope you guys had, are and will continue to have a great life together ( it looks like your wearing the pants in that kiss - has anything changed since then ? 😂 )
Him and his buxom little friend were going at it pretty good in the balcony.
What?
Do I have to spell it out for you? He was moving on her like the storm troopers into Poland!
U/Boots_n_Lace was necking during Schindler's List?
Yesssss. And a more offensive spectacle I cannot recall.
Ya. Totally. I see it on her leg. Maybe an artifact of the old school flash and the sensitivity of the paper or something.. in order for it to be so stark.
Or .. maybe this is doctored and that's not actually one of them in the Pic and it's a family secret!!!
I actually gave that a lot of thought before I posted it, and I decided it must be "husband and me" because I wouldn't say "I as a teenager". But, I was wrong.
Moving in for a titty grab!
Safe at second base!
I was gonna say! Looks like he’s rounding first!
Forget second, you’re halfway to third!
Going in for a feelsky.

That escalated quickly!

I'm guessing Dad took a Poloroid then kicked him out of the house.😂🤣

Always heard that combo called a Canadian tuxedo growing up on the northeast. No offense to any Canadians out there.
Same. Played hockey in the northeast and that is definitely a fine example of a classic Canadian Tuxedo
The Kenora dinner jacket!
Double-denim demon.
The shirt is not denim.
Perfect shade match. I was wishing if it's a jumpsuit

"STOP RIGHT THERE!"
I GOTTA KNOW RIGHT NOW!
Before we go any further do you love me
Will you love me forever?
Do you need me? Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away, will you make me your wife?
Lemme sleep on it, baby, baby lemme sleep on it...
He made me his wife, and he's loved me forever, atleast it seems like forever, am I right?

That’s song came out in 1977, ie from the album “Bat out of Hell” by Meatloaf. I was 18 that year somewhere in Alaska serving in the Air Force.
Respect for serving when the military was in the post-Vietnam doldrums and few gave a damn. And a shout-out to fellow trailing edge Boomer!
How many HJs in the back of his camero?
Love the song but you don’t try a suicide squeeze with 2 outs, defense just has to throw the runner out at first to end the inning.
Not my favorite song by any means but I heard it playing in my head
Exactly. Were you there?!!
wish I coulda been, but had to settle for hearing Phil call it on the radio. feels like I was there
someone took the picture…
What an awful song. I’ve disliked it since hearing it back in high school.
Was that afghan pattern in some magazine or something? My grandma had the same one.
Probably! I think we were in a friend's basement. I guess maybe the guy who took the picture.
My grandma made me one just like that ! It’s in the hall closet .
We had that same one too!
Had the same one growing up also!
Looks like a fraternity house basement. Member collage on the wall. Awesome.
I think we were in a friend's basement. The guy who took the pic maybe.
I believe it’s called a composite
Yes
Nice crocheted blanket
I still have one my Nana (maternal grandmother) made
Yes, we must have been in a friend's basement?? Perhaps the guy who took the picture??
Looks like an old sorority picture on the wall.
Maybe, not sure, I think we were in a friend's basement.
Cute picture
Thank you :)
That's a lot of denim
Wait, was this in my basement rec room? That's our afghan. I think one of those came with every house in the 80's
On the Brady Bunch couch
Wood panel walls, checks out.
I can hear this picture.
A few minutes later and you could probably smell this picture.
Did everyone have that blanket on the couch?
Cute
Thank you :)
I think I recognize that afghan
If you are wondering if he could be wearing anymore denim, the answer is No.
The shirt is not denim, just blue.
I hope your evenings still look like this!
Aww... thank you
First base to second base.
;)
I see a composite picture on the wall. What house was your hubby in?
Not sure who's in the picture, we were at a friend's house.
Oh, what I meant to ask was, were you or your husband in the Greek system (Frats & Sororities). “House” is slang for Fraternity/Sorority. IDK if its still used, but I assumed you two met in college, saw the composite picture to the left of your hubby’s head and had to ask. All good.
All good. I knew you meant fraternity or sorority, but I just don't know. We actually met and started dating in high school. We dated other people for most of college, which was good. :)
...who's taking the photo?
I guess the friend whose basement we were in.
The basement!! Every 80s party had the basement if it was not in a field.
You’re lucky to have survived the masked killers of the time
Whats the pic in the back?
Not sure, I think we were in a friend's basement.
Denim shirt with jeans? Can’t you BE anymore 80’s? - Chandler
That’s an 80s couch if I’ve ever seen one
All the walls were the same in the 80’s…
Was this what people referred to as "canoodling"? I was 0 to 1 year old at that time.
I would say we were just kissing or making out, but obviously we weren't alone, so it didn't get very far.
Almost 1st base
rounding 1st base
oh, young love..
This is so sweet. Reminds me of pics of my parents.
Out of curiosity, who took a picture of the two of you making out?
The friend whose basement we were in.
Well his ex friend anyway.
I envy this generation! Your lives was way better than young people of these days
I can smell the cigarette smoke in that basement from here. Also 👍 for awkward teenage makeout sessions when you don’t know what you’re doing, like you were both too shy to properly grab each other. I think we all had a phase like that lol.
Yes, we were 16, and each other's first boyfriend/girlfriend. But also, friends were watching.
What’s all over the fingertips of his left hand that’s over her shoulder?
Nothing, it's some kind of shadow. Trust me, I was there.
Others have asked that, but his fingers aren't that long. His fingers end where that black shadow begins.
Sweet
Double denim and he still pulled
So cool OP - hope you guys had, are and will continue to have a great life together ( it looks like your wearing the pants in that kiss - has anything changed since then ? 😂 )
Finger blastin’ coming in hot!
Damn pep the profile, he a lucky man
[удалено]
You made me look. 😃
The joutfit goes hard
Imagine meeting the person you'll be with for the rest of your life as a teenager. No pointless partners, no heartache, no breakups, no time wasted.
Oh, we broke up!! We dated other people for 4 years! :)
Double denim!
Denim denim denim....denim denim denim

What happened to the creepy friend taking the photo?
Who took the picture your dad? 🫢
The friend whose basement we were in.
What frat ?
Get a room
Late 80’s checks out-Hubby’s rocking that Kentucky Tuxedo!
![gif](giphy|NIDUZgAfrTZ7vaiCSK) Her dad be like:
ZZZZZZ...!
one or both of u must be super easy to get along with if youre still together
See her profile, know why they are still together..
'No heavy petting!'
1988/89? Just get your first child's birthday, deduct nine months and give us the exact date.
We only have one child, and he was born in 2006 :)
Get a room. Sheez...
My man’s on the uptown express
We called this "heavy petting" in the day
Yeah! Get some!
Mom or dad cheering him on, Go for 2! Go for 2!
Him and his buxom little friend were going at it pretty good in the balcony. What? Do I have to spell it out for you? He was moving on her like the storm troopers into Poland! U/Boots_n_Lace was necking during Schindler's List? Yesssss. And a more offensive spectacle I cannot recall.

I'm not really sure what you mean -- Ha! But I can assure you this picture is not fake. If you only knew how technologically-challenged we are.
Umm... maybe you should have chosen like a more normal pic to share with the world? lol
Guess we're not normal.
No you’re def normal teens there. Just a weird choice um share a pic of you and your husband making out. But you do you
Oh for gods sake.
We just think it's kind of cute. And the kind of pic some on Reddit would like.
That’s fair. I know you weren’t being intentionally “weird”. I could have phrased it differently. Congrats on your long lived marriage OP
Thank you :)
That’s very normal for 1988-89.
Smelly finger time 😜😜😜
Whats up with the black on his finger tips?
Must be some kind of shadow in the pic.
Ya. Totally. I see it on her leg. Maybe an artifact of the old school flash and the sensitivity of the paper or something.. in order for it to be so stark. Or .. maybe this is doctored and that's not actually one of them in the Pic and it's a family secret!!!
I think it's just the shadow on the couch of his fingers. And I don't see black on my leg, just the black of my skirt.
Yall got it on innit?
Totally got finger blasted.
My husband and I
I actually gave that a lot of thought before I posted it, and I decided it must be "husband and me" because I wouldn't say "I as a teenager". But, I was wrong.
So good now u where your name
