Mrs. O & I are moving on up in the ranks for the married couples dance at wedding receptions. We came in 3rd this year at the reception for Amy Dearest & Okie Doke in Portland on Friday, Aug. 24. We've been married 37 years. Which is one year less than the No. 2 couple, my son's mother- and father-in-law. And 3 years less than my sister Lil and her husband. When the reception host asked brother-in-law Mike to give advice on a long marriage to the newly weds, he told Okie Doke: “You need to know that from now on you'll be right only 10 percent of the time.”
Question: How long have you been married?
