but trust me - that's REALLY not that far off. About 6months to a year after you start paying your own bills, the novelty of "freedom' wears off when you realize that you are more of a slave than ever...

My grandparents celebrate thier 70th wedding anniversary this year...any idea what the official gift is supposed to be,or do we just not count that high?
Hi,
we actually count very high. The last count I saw was for 80 years of marriage.
I have a list here, but it is in Portuguese.
For those who understand it:

I'm not sure if these names correspond to gifts, but you have silver at 25, Gold at 50 and Diamond at 60.
I guess these are the best known because most of the others are not considered precious things. At any rate, at 70, the gift is Copper.

Funny though that I found another different list at
http://www.geocities.com/clerioborges/bodas.html
It lists Wine for the 70th birthday.
Copper comes at 61.

No, that's just the domain.
