This post is written for Friday Fictioneers. The challenge is to write a complete story with a beginning, middle and end in 100 words or less. My story follows the picture prompt below.
The big event was in full swing and everyone was having a wonderful time. Stories were being shared. Friends they had know for the last fifty years and longer were there to help celebrate their fifty years of marriage.
They had their ups and downs but what couple doesn’t who stays together that long. In fact their marriage has lasted longer than their children’s marriages.
“What’s the secret to a long marriage”, asked his best friend David. “Those famous three words.?”
He smiled to himself. “They have changed a little but the thought is still the same.”
Oh Danny Boy! 
Three important words, one should say as often as possible.
Nicely done … Be Safe 😷 … Isadora 😎
