During their silver anniversary, a wife was reminiscing at length to her husband. He nodded a lot and even managed a few "Yes, dear"s but every attempt to add a memory of his own was pushed aside by the arrival of his wife's next thought. Eventually she recalled one of the truly special moments. "Do you remember when you proposed to me, I was so overwhelmed that I couldn’t even speak for an hour?". In the brief pause during which she savoured that moment, the hubby replied, "Yes, honey, that was also the happiest hour of my life."
