Our Story

Our story is all about love. We're a married couple who have been together for over 24 years. This was our inspiration for 143 Forever. There's so much love and wedded bliss in the world that we wanted a place to celebrate it. Instead of once a year we have designed shirts and products to celebrate the five stages of marriage throughout the year. Choose from the categories We're Engaged, Just Married, Happy Anniversary, Teammates, or I Miss You. We have a category for everyone in the family.

We've shared an example of these categories below:

❤️ We're Engaged: Our nephew was engaged to his girlfriend last summer. His Team Shirt design is of a full red heart, and his fiancé's Team Shirt is also of a full red heart that has been tilted towards him.

❤️ Just Married: In March of 2025, our niece and her groom had a beautiful wedding ceremony. Their Team Shirts are from the category "Just Married". Both are designed with a wedding band topped with a heart. Her wedding band design has a more slender profile, and his band has a bolder design.

❤️ Happy Anniversary: Our best friends have been married for 27 years. Their Team Shirts are designed with the number of years they have been married. Hers is with a skinny 27, and his shirt has a more masculine 27. This detail helps to distinguish the shirts when they are together or when you pull them from the dryer.

❤️ Teammates are the children of the "Happy Anniversary" couple, aka their parents. My sister has three children, their Team Shirts all have an underlined 26 on them. The design represents the 26 years my sister and brother-in-law have been married and the underline is to underscore the love they have for their children.

❤️ I Miss You category is for widows and widowers. My mother is a widow, her and my father were married for 43 years. We designed her Team Shirt with their last celebrated wedding anniversary and crowned with a star. The star is in honor of her late husband, my dad.

Enjoy celebrating your family in their different stages of marriage because life is sweeter with the people we love. 

Thank you for visiting 143Forever.US, we'll see you on social media, spreading love in 2026. xoxo

PS. The best advise I ever received for marriage was to love my spouse like it was our last day together, and to let her have the last piece of cake ;)

❤️ 143 Forever = I - Love - You - Forever
