Great story Serb. I had my buck's night one week before we won the GF in 1979. A huge celebration was had and as you say, it was the greatest weekend of my life and indeed a great way to remember your wedding anniversary.
Its OK to be obsessed and I am sure in time your wife will come around to seeing things as you do.
Over the last decade my wife has also grown to love watching the Mighties. She never really followed football before and said it is because she has seen and realised just how much my team means to me. My 3 boys have always followed the Dragons. Living on the North Coast, when we can we all go to our away games in Qld.
Anyway, last year I decided to start a bucket list. Top of this list was to see the Dragons play in a Grand Final victory. So, with my hopes quite high, I booked our tickets only to end up watching Storm and Parra battle it out. Staying with my brother-in-law at Stanmore I promised myself and him that we would do it all again until we made the GF. He is a great bloke and a (gracious) Roosters supporter. We both said back then that 2010 would be a Dragons v Roosters Grand Final. And so it proved to be.
Now, some 31 years later I travelled to ANZ Stadium with my wife and 2 sons to witness what was to be a euphoric victory. My other son (couldn't make the trip this year because he has a new baby daughter..my first granddaughter and already being dressed in red and white).
Congratulations on your wedding Serb and I hope some time in the future you get to take your own family to a Grand Final victory as did I (but mate, not 31 years later please).
Well, I have crossed off number 1 on my bucket list and as I am only 57 I didn't really have numbers 2 to 10 identified. Maybe I'll just forget it. I can and will die happy sometime and to be honest, jumping from an airplane had never really figured in any of my plans...:lol:
