    Congrats! Eighteen years of marriage is a greater feat than Eighteen Platinum records. What is your secret?

    BTW the pic is a few years old–it’s from Lunesse’s wedding in California. She and Don are not all that far behind us!

    Dear Old Faithful,

    S and I were married for 18 years also. Would have been 19 years this year. We also did a second wedding for the kiddushin.
    Oh well, so Lunesse is spoken for. Wasn’t getting any fan mail from her anyway.
    Best wishes for many happy returns.

    Congratulations on your 18th!! Many, many more!!

  19. lunesse says:

    Ahh. I never knew where exactly you were married. Rowling did name her characters after towns, what a lovely one you picked so many years ago. Good foresight. ;P

    May the next 18 be just as full of love!

  20. expatbore says:

    Very many congratulations. I can see the headlines: “LA celebs in 18 years happy marriage shocker; President to address the nation at 0800 CENTRAL; Larry David to write sitcom.”

    Thanks for explaining the picture which definitely had me confused: didn’t look like Snape Maltings at all, and far too big for an Aldeburgh restaurant!

    Come back soon, Shingle Street misses you both.

  21. Rattles says:

    CONGRATULATIONS to you both!! Love ya!!

  22. Ghastly says:

    Congrats! My wife and I also celebrated our 18th this year as well (February 14th, yeah I know I’m a sap, but a schoolgirl uniform on me and call me Piro).

    It’s so nice to see a celebrity marrage that works. Way to go you two. I went “awwwww” listening to “Forty” when you said you thought you got the best one (for your wife).

  23. That’s so lovely. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

  24. Rochelle says:

    I hope this isn’t too forward a question, but would you mind sharing how you two met? It would be interesting to hear both your answer and Kathleen’s, as I’m sure the versions are slightly different.

  25. Guybrush says:

    I just got married a month ago to a fellow 80′s synth lover in her twenties. May our relationship last as long as yours!

    Congratulations :)

    Hello friend!
    And many happy returns on your wonderful day!
    You would’nt possibly remember me but I was a friend of Debra Barsha’s back in 1989……yes she had some freinds
    I did a demo of one of your songs “Urban Tribal” on a small Tascam 4 track and sent it to you. I t had Debra’s vocals(although it was a bit to low in key for her)and lots of guitar and a big solo at the end. It was one of my favorite songs and I always imagined lots strings on it ….guitar strings that is. Anyway I did a song called house “House of Funk” with George Clinton, and he told me you where a super genius and that I should do the song with Debra and send it to you. We did meet at a studio in New York where I was trying to do a full version .
    My name is Timul
    If you like email me at Tim3nyc@hotmail.com
    All the best

    P.S Do you still listen to Bep Bop Deluxe

    Best wishes! I hope your love just continues to grow. Been married a whopping nine months myself, and it just gets better every day. It was clear from your show how much you are still in love with her, and it was a lovely thing to see. Congratulations!
