I'm 56, and she's almost 54. The young pics are from
one of our first dates at the Cliff House in San
Francisco. We have two grown sons, and are more in
love today than ever before. I am thankful every
single day for this incredible lady and the life
we've built.

Now THAT'S how to pull off a great Past-and-Present
comparison! Wow great job. And you both look lovely then
and now
/u/nohombrenombre
Are you wearing the same jean jacket in both the past
and the present?
/u/tioem
I am! I found it in a bin in the shed, and that made us
finally decide to recreate them.
/u/Apprehensive_Rice19
I love this so much and the two of you are so beautiful
and look blissfully happy. You are goals! Bless you and
your family. Thank you for sharing. And keep that jean
jacket it never goes out of style lol
/u/sandeelishh
Your wife looks like Britney Spears
/u/lumpy_space_queenie
Britney Spears mashed together with Katie Holmes
/u/atomicxtide
Add a dash of Juliette Lewis
/u/badmf112358
She is hot is the point
/u/ReadingFromTheShittr
A pinch of Melissa Fumero. More evident on the younger
pics side.
/u/Apprehensive_Rice19
Yes! Because they both have a big pupillary distance -
meaning their eyes are far apart- which is a marker of
great beauty!
/u/Hour-Cost7028
That's why she looked so familiar
/u/ADMINlSTRAT0R
Young wife pics look better than peak Britney
/u/Apprehensive_Rice19
And she somehow managed to get even more beautiful with
time. Just wow. You hit the jackpot
/u/Username524
The photos' real age progression gives me Jennifer Mcfly
vibes, and is actually the same time span difference in
the Back to the Future 1 & 2. They both look good 30
years later:)
/u/meagiemay
I see Rachel Leigh Cook
/u/TheStolenPotatoes
The later pics are giving Becky from Roseanne vibes (OG
Becky, Lecy Goranson).
/u/cursetea
I thought so too lol!
/u/minpin75
You guys look great! And you did a really good job
matching the pics!!
/u/tioem
Thanks! We've been talking about recreating these pics
for a decade, and finally decided it was time.
/u/djh_van
Props for being able to fit into your youth denims
perfectly! And a round of applause for the effort of
reproducing all of your poses, both of you!

Now I want to see the version of this when yure,
what...88?
/u/tioem
We made an afternoon of it. A couple of adult beverages,
and lots of laughter as we tried to recreate the past.
/u/alexlp
Did you have to practice or you've seen it enough you
did it on the fly?

Great job, always love your posts. Best wishes to you
and yours!
/u/tioem
It took about 20 pics for each pose to get this
close...was not easy.
/u/alexlp
I bet you liked all those smooches though!
/u/Chancey3
WoW such a COOL😎 Side by Side!

You Two are Truly TIMELESS✨
/u/LucretiousVonBismark
You look the same across all those years!
/u/EfficientArt155
*she looks the same.
/u/Majestic-Sandwich695
He aged quite well, but she aged only 5 years in 30. I'm
curious what kinda skincare routine she has now lol
/u/Impossible-Mud3275
You've both aged nicely
/u/Sciaticuspinch
Good on ya, mate! It's rare to be married that long and
rarer still when both parties still actually love each
other's company, rather than just "enduring" until the
clock runs out. I'm in the same age bracket and on
marriage #2. Got it right this time!
/u/tioem
Nice! Congrats. No better feeling than finding your
person.
/u/DogsDucks
Wow you can tell she's the most beautiful girl in
school, than the most beautiful woman, and you guys are
both just stunning.
/u/californialimabean
Y'all exude love. I can feel the love! Congratulations!
/u/Kabusanlu
This is too sweet🥹
/u/StrictBig1053
keep it going another 30
/u/I_am_a_SuJu_fan_elf
Jokes aside, you both look gorgeous
/u/dawnofnone
But she is. She has aged a bit, but not anywhere close
to 32 years.
/u/pulchra_crura
So the best looking couple ever stayed the best lookimg
couple for ever!
/u/loiczzs
Wow i'm exactly the age right now you were back then
(22) and my partner is 24. I want to be together growing
old like you guys, it's beautiful, you won in life .
/u/Bubbly_Piglet822
Aww a cute across all the years.
/u/sleeze4cheeze
They are all perfect!! 🩷
/u/scarswithoutastory
So cool to see the side by sides. 🤍
/u/Sufficient-Track8617
How cool are these pictures?

Thank you for sharing!
/u/Useful_Nectarine_299
Stunning then and stunning now
/u/powderbubba
You guys are absolutely gorgeous then and now!!! Hope
you've enjoyed the ride! 🥰
/u/KarmaBillionaire
You both look so happy!

Congratulations to both of you.

I'm at my 10 year anniversary and it's not going great.
Seeing how happy you could be after 30 years kinda set
things into perspective.
/u/tioem
The very best of luck to you, I hope you find your
happiness!
/u/StandardDeviant117
Wait but the 90's were only ten years ago.... AGH FUCK
/u/tioem
Avoid the math...no good can come of it.
/u/ethically-contrarian
I love these so bad!!!! Cheers to 30 more years!!
/u/threelllama
Cuties then and now!! Many more happy years to you both.
/u/viceversa
STAHP! Too cute! Congrats you crazy kids!
/u/Middle-Interview-899
You guys look like your love has grown with you. Thanks

more peaceful years together
/u/Puzzled_Awareness_22
This is So Cool! Congratulations

32 here!
/u/Big-a-hole-2112
That.... was...... awesome!
/u/Advanced-Jaguar6132
Very lovely attractive couple! God bless you two with
another 30 yrs!
/u/S-Elena
The both of yall have aged like fine wine. 🍷
/u/Tall-Gold466
Dude your hairline didn't move an inch!
/u/tioem
I totally thought it had moved a bunch until we took the
new pics and I started putting them together in
photoshop. Pleasantly surprised to say the least. I've
worn a hat almost every day for 40+ years, and my mom
always said, "wearing at hat all the time is going to
make you bald." Maybe the hat protected it!
/u/BovingdonBug
Expressions looking like the bus shot from The Graduate
in reverse.
/u/Aromatic_Ad_5265
Oh my gosh this is so darn cute!
/u/SkyIslandLore
I love when men gush over their partners 🥰💖 it
gets sad seeing the dating world of today and a couple
like you guys pop up and show that real dating can still
exist
/u/Splunge-
Same here. Married 32 years this month.
/u/J-littletree
You look so good I was thinking Ai
/u/bodiddly4443
Congratulation from a more than 50 years of being
married. And we still love each other completely.
Believe it or not, it can actually keep getting better.
Our bodies are not what they used to be, but that is
just an obstacle to overcome. Love, affection,
friendship and happiness can just blossom. Congrats, and
keep going.
/u/tioem
Beautiful! Thank you.🙏🏻
/u/_clever_reference_
Nope, I don't like that.
/u/Fine-Pie7130
Wow, hotties then and now!

You won the lotto bro.
/u/SavingsFun69
Your wife looks like she did It again!
/u/drask1987
Love love love this!!
/u/MessImpossible13
They say the key to being attractive like this when you
get older is pretty simple. Just be attractive when
you're younger.....
/u/SimplerTimesAhead
This is beautiful, and I love that it was at the Cliff
House--I went there all the time as a kid, when the
musee mechanique was still there.
/u/NumbDangEt4742
She has aged like 5 years. Damn man. So happy for you
guys. I know it can be very difficult and y'all made
it!!
/u/Jokkmokkens
Will never be able to showcase this kind of love
historically but it gives me hope for the future.😌
/u/tinkumanya
You guys look like the real life Julie Delpy and Ethan
Hawke in the Before Sunrise trilogy...!! Adorable!
/u/M_O_M_O_T_A_R_O
Miss mam you have not aged a bit! You both look great
but damn what is your secret?!
/u/Beloved-Effective-98
This is SO cute! Congratulations!
/u/TheLondonPidgeon
Ya'll got any of those stem cells goin spare. I'm
getting itchy over here.
/u/TaiterChip74
Congratulations you two love birds. It's me and the
Mrs's 29th in August.
/u/DollieNoble
I thought these were the same photos and I kept swiping
to try to see the difference. The Office meme moment in
real life.
/u/They-Call-Me-Taylor
Oh wow great idea for past/present pics. Congrats, you
both still look great!
/u/Buttrnut_Squash
Aww, LOVE this photo past & present!!! Congrats on 30
years!!!!

Red Star!! You're famous(er)! What a fun surprise to
find someone I know on the front page. You guys look
great!
/u/killemslowly
What's the most important thing you learned during that
time?
/u/thedrunkpenguin
I see you had ample time to prepare for the after kiss
😁
/u/tioem
She definitely caught me off guard the first time.
/u/SpiritedInternal3780
This is SO special! Oh my gosh you two grown together so
