Behold! Middle Age:

How many years do you guess passed between these two pictures?





(Please note also that my wife looks amazing, and is getting better looking with the years.)

Did you guess that 20 years had passed between pictures? 25? Did you guess that Alexis had gone into stasis while I had accelerated my age somehow? Apparently it was only 5 years, according to this question club post, which mostly serves to show how little women change from their early 20s to their late 20s. Alexis says the beard makes me look older, while I like the fact that it conceals some of my chins. Also you may not have noticed but I'm bald as all get-out.

I'm bad at guessing ages, but I think you both look adorable.

I agree that all those pics make you both look adorable. I think we see our own faults and aging more easily than we see others. also, your evil glowing eye seems to have cleared up in five years!

well, if it's any consolation you will probably stay about the same for another 15 years or so and I must say you are both quite good looking, and in a real way, not the "oh geez, too much time in the tanning booth and the botox makes you look waxy" sort of good looking which seems to be taking over Bay Street these days. (Financial district of Toronto where I had lunch and wandered about yesterday).

This may sound weird but when I see photos of you guys I think how cute of a couple you are!

Ha! I could guess real close because I know Frida and Maggie's age difference! But it is amazing how cute you guys are.
