Anniversary Quote by Marshall Thornton
““So are you doing anything for your anniversary? I mean other than sitting around your backyard with a bottle of wine moping over lost love." Since those were pretty much my plans, I said,"No. I'm going to hire a masseur, like you suggested." After that, there was no turning back.””
