Question: Which is correct - "My husband and I" or "My husband and me" ?

Answer: Both - according to the circumstances.

(1) Correct: "My husband and I welcome you here today"

Equally correct: "I and my husband welcome you here today". But it is preferable to use the former. (It is impolite to put oneself first.)

Definitely INCORRECT: "My husband and me welcome you..." or "Me and my husband welcome you ..."

(How often have you heard something like this? "Me and Pauline went to the disco" - or "Pauline and me went ..." )

(2) Correct: "Thank you to everyone who has sent good wishes to my husband and me".

Incorrect: "Thank you to everyone who has sent good wishes to my husband and I"

If you are not sure, remove one of the two persons from the phrase.

You would not say " ... sent to I".

Finally, why do most people say "I am a friend of Fred's". Fred's what? His cat or his dog?

What is wrong with "I am a friend of Fred" or "I am one of Fred's friends" ?

Now - I feel a lot better for that!

Whew!
