After 29 years of marriage, my lovely bride has gotten used to buying her own gifts and is completely sympathetic when it comes to my feeble attempts to buy something that she could actually use. This year, for our 30th anniversary, I was determined to get her something that she could really use this time. So, I Googled 30th Anniversary gifts and after learning that pearls were the traditional gift given. So I decided on this and she is VERY HAPPY.
