    Because men never say this to each other and they should, I’ll say it: She’s a lucky woman. 🙂

    Nice! Wasn’t “The Isles Inn” by any chance was it (http://screencast.com/t/rS0VcCicwuy)? Did a Scotland road trip in the summer and we spent a night in Portree.

    You are lucky, but so is she. You didn’t trick her, she knew what to expect, and liked it. It’s a miracle, for sure, when someone you like likes you back. But it’s not a trick. Maybe you’re just being funny and don’t mean it, and I’m overreacting, but I hate to see you do that to yourself, Wil.

    You guys are awesome. Just keep the adventure going.

    I am stealing that line for my 25th this summer 🙂

    I’m more suprised you tricked her into coming to the isle of skye in October

    Good relationships are not based on luck or good times or good looks or youth or great health or anything else that expires or runs out. Good relationships are built upon respect for each other & a commitment that recognizes the value of the relationship. Good relationships that last over time are due in part to efforts put in over time. You are both fortunate!

    I have never seen two people more perfect for each other! Congratulations and wishes for many more years of happiness!

    Because contrary to the way this country thinks sometimes, nice guys do finish first.

    Whatever you are doing keep up the charade. Lucky man.

    congrats to the two of you…Unusual for Hollywood..(by the way u are a fantastic actor…u lend so much to that show on CBS…especially the ep about Raiders of the Lost Ark)…cheers…

    Aw, I thought this was going to be the story when the pub went silent and stared at you when you came in.

    You two are lucky to have each other. <3

      i agree.

    14 October, 2016 at 2:16 pm

    Silly person. Are you saying she has no taste? Or is not smart enough and you’ve tricked her, really? LOL – my husband seems to be like you in this and refuses to see how lucky I feel to have him, and to me it’s a wonder, no trick or fluke. I tell him that if he insists on saying he’s not good enough for me, he’s insulting my taste and intelligence and I won’t stand for it. Love to you both… <3

      what is this with our husbands? 🙂

    2. Eastlyn burkholder says:
      16 October, 2016 at 10:24 am

      Yeah
      Like Lucy Rose said!

  21. Idi Ocracy says:
    14 October, 2016 at 2:38 pm

    I’m pretty sure that’s a treat, not a trick.

  22. beth9133 says:
    14 October, 2016 at 4:07 pm

    Because you are genuine and sincere…

  23. biggscott says:
    14 October, 2016 at 5:01 pm

    Aye! You’ve done well, Wil.

  24. clubschadenfreude says:
    14 October, 2016 at 5:12 pm

    In November, it’ll be 25 official years my husband and I are together (and a few years shacking up before that). to stay together that long means you both are lucky.

  25. Mariko True says:
    14 October, 2016 at 5:50 pm

    She obviously sees YOU and that is a gift beyond measuring.

  26. cerberussss says:
    14 October, 2016 at 11:50 pm

    It’s probably because you’re pretty funny. Awww man, I miss you playing D&D with the Acquisitions Incorporated crew…,

  27. Wooders says:
    15 October, 2016 at 1:31 am

    Stout in a mug? What were you thinking of? Straight glass every time, please. 😉

    1. Wil says:
      15 October, 2016 at 11:00 am

      Take it up with the bartender in the pub, mate.

  28. David Saks says:
    15 October, 2016 at 5:27 am

    She’s a smart woman who knows that she’s married to a champion, and a star.

    Have a great weekend, Wil !

  29. Julie Roberts Mitchell says:

    The good thing is you guys both are grateful for each other (in your public personas, anyway). My husband and I have been together 15 years, and are the same way. Gratitude (and expressing it) for one’s partner is imperative in healthy relationships.

  30. Bob says:
    15 October, 2016 at 6:28 pm

    People make each other – which is to say that a good combination of people is better than the sum of the parts. Ask yourself who she would be without you and who you would be without her. Given how you speak about her, the answer in both cases is likely that you are both more than you would be alone. We were (my wife & I) talking about this the other night. As wonderful a man as my dad was (he passed years ago) he was only ‘complete’ with mom. They were two halves of an absolutely brilliant machine. He had a few relationships after she passed, one of them with his highschool sweetheart who had married his friend after he went off to college and since been widowed as he was. Both the relationships he had after mom passed away were healthy and positive and loving, but mom lit him up like a sparkler and vice versa. She’d walk up to him at a party and the grin that would spread across his face was exactly the same one from his childhood pictures – and mom got positively giggly around him. We’re talking people in their 50’s – serious people with lots of degrees and responsibilities – and yet they were just “a couple of kids against the world” when they were together.

    Enjoy it, man! Nothing like it. I also lucked out. Nearly married twice before meeting my wife – both times to great women – but after I met her it was just so obvious… like: “Oh.. wow – so this is what it’s supposed to be.”

    And equally cool is that you don’t take it for granted. Likely she doesn’t either.

    I know how you feel. Wives are awesome. Marriage is a wonderful invention.

    I would also like to thank the comment section for reminding me that marriage is a two-way street of awesome. Not just one awesome person and one that’s lucky, but two lucky awesome happy people.

    You have chosen well.
    Is that the Isles Inn by any chance? Highly recommend their veggie haggis (w/nips & tatties, of course)!

  33. Sarah Beirne says:
    16 October, 2016 at 10:19 pm

    You two are so good together. I hope some day I can find someone who makes me feel like this. Happy anniversary.

  34. ten13grl says:
    17 October, 2016 at 8:59 pm

    Congratulations to the both of you! You both are very lucky to have found such wonderful partners. 🙂 Here’s to several decades more!

  35. Brendan Berg says:

    I have to assume you went on a distillery tour to Edradour while in Portree. Such an amazing place, can’t wait to visit Scotland again.

  36. Taylor says:
    18 October, 2016 at 1:28 pm

    This is so sweet!

  37. Qukatt says:
    19 October, 2016 at 1:50 am

    Heya from Scotland! If you’re still here and continuing around the top there’s a viking church and graveyard in Gamrie (gardenstown on the map), aberdeenshire, that’s worth a visit 😀

  38. cubman25 says:
    19 October, 2016 at 8:41 am

    Finding a life partner by any means necessary is worthy of congratulations and admiration. Well done with your trickery.

  39. ollee64 says:
    19 October, 2016 at 8:08 pm

    You say tricked, but I’m sure she doesn’t seem that way. Congrats on making it so long, and keep up the good work!

  40. Carthrodan says:
    21 October, 2016 at 8:04 am

    what’s funny is that she’s got you tricked into thinking that you tricked her.

    1. Añna says:
      23 October, 2016 at 5:42 pm

      Agreed I would trick Will Wheaton given a chance

  41. Eric Kramp says:
    27 October, 2016 at 4:38 pm

    What do you call 17 years?

    A great start. Here’s to many, many more 17 years.

  42. mimi (@mimi78) says:
    29 October, 2016 at 8:08 am

    I love that pic of her and congrats. You guys are lucky to have each other. My favorite and I had the 18 year anniversary of our first date this past Monday. Time is such a strange thing. 🙂
