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 shouting sweet nothings ever since.
They dated for 80 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 4 kids who moved out for peace and quiet.
They fought over 67 TV remotes.
Mabel threatened divorce 1,924 times.
Clarence proposed zero times.
Until last week.
At age 103, Clarence stood up, turned to Mabel and said,
“I guess you’re not going anywhere, huh?”
She said, “Only to your funeral if you don’t hurry up and propose.”
So he popped the question 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.
Clarence mumbled, “Do I have to say ‘I do’?”
Mabel shot back, “You better. I waited too long.”
