About This Piece

“Prisoner Since (Personalized Date)” is the ball-and-chain joke, told with love. The “prison” is marriage — the beautiful life sentence, served together, with no desire for parole.

Every married couple has the joke: “locked down,” “doing time,” “the old ball and chain.” This prints the sentence start date — the wedding day, reframed as the day the greatest heist (a lifetime together) began.

It’s for the married with a sense of humor — the couples who roast their own marriage lovingly, who know commitment is the best sentence they ever got.

The humor only works because the love is real. “Prisoner” here means chosen, kept, and happily locked in — the joke’s on anyone who thinks freedom beats this.

Serving time. Loving every minute. No parole requested.
