Getting married this saturday

[stevefrench]

you're paying for it. don't be afraid to hit that open bar real hard....

also, use her inherent feminine jealousy issues against her. make sure she sees you groping some of the bridesmaids, or slapping the *** of her mother. this will pay off later in the evening when she's so jealous over that that she takes you away ravages you in a coat closet.

Get her two presents on the day of the wedding. Thr first sent before the ceremony (jewelry works nice). The second, have something for her to wear that night waiting in the hotel room (this is actually for you).

like this?

I think I am going to start taking all my marital advice from Stevefrench... just a ton of great stuff by him.

Also, the leaky bucket comment was more of a generalized exaggeration. We do fairly well with the finance side of it, but combining accounts has certainly been an interesting experience

At the reception of my wedding my dad and all 5 of his brothers gave me the same advice....5 times a day.

Maybe it's because I knew going into the engagement that we were going to have a good 2-3 years of me making most of the money and her still being in grad school, but I don't think I was ever as stressed out or bent out of shape about the combined accounts thing as some of you guys. In my opinion, if both of you have some concept of what a budget is and respect for how much money you actually have, it's not a big deal at all.

Holy crap there are a lot of Fanatics getting married this summer.

You do realize Ukrainian brides are already yours, right?

wait at least 3 months after the big day to reveal your obsession with Star Wars...

I am getting married in July too. It is slowly starting to hit me especially after my bachelor party this weekend. I will certainly take the advice of not greeting everyone at the reception especially since we have around 400 people coming and are probably going to do that at the ceremony.

If the wife asks you to go shopping for living room furniture go! You will want to pick out a comfy couch.

That works for me. Heck Im excited right now.

Is this what your wife looks like?

Any last minute pieces of advice from all you fanatics who are married?

It's too late for advice at this stage... Judgement Day is nearly upon you.

 

[Trackman22]

haha, Unfortunately for me she has never been all about the BJ's... I may have had 1 or 2 the entire time we've been together... so I guess I am ready for 0 per year because that is not much of a drop from 1 per year

Ok that made me laugh out loud literally. It is so true though.

Wedding day advice: Try to take it all in. It goes by amazingly fast. Don't lock your knees during the ceremony, and dont get too drunk afterwards. Marriage advice: Get on the same page about money. The number one cause of fighting in marriage is attributed to money issues.

Thats no way to talk about your mother.

All kidding and joking on this site aside, I really believe that. Now, if I go to other people's weddings, I get tomahawked.

Good thing I got the looks from your side of the family

Chalk me up for getting married this summer too. Im not until August, so I got a good month and a half of "freedom" left. We already have the joint bank account and it's good so far. She is tighter with her money than I am, so it has been a good wake-up for me.
