Mike nailed this.

Never before in my life did I spend more time carefully considering my answers before I spoke, than I did in the weeks leading up to my wedding. I don't care is a natural man response meaning, I'm fine with whatever. That is NOT sufficient verbiage during a wedding planning situation, with a semi to fully hysterical wife to be.

This is fantastic. I hope he gave continuing marriage advice that stated that this continues, just with less frequency.

My wife usually buys shoes online. I always get asked, "Which pair of shoes do you like best?" Now that my girls are old enough, I let them comment first, hope they agree and choose the shoe they choose.

We definitely need to turn this into a "Best Of Mike Leach" video clip thread. I'm loving this!

His best line in the wedding one was when he said "in the end, you'll just wished you would have eloped instead".

That hits so close to home. :(

I did my best to just give them my credit card, ask them politely to try to minimize the damage, and then try to stay out of it until the wedding day.

Only worked so well.

I miss having this guy in the conference.

I am going through this right now and had that exact conversation about wedding invitations last night. This has me rolling.

This is pure gold. My wife is easy going and a bit more laid back. She was smart and knew how to approach me on certain topics. She gave me the cool stuff to take care of for our planning like the DJ, Limo, and caterer. Ours was pretty easy to get through, only thing I grew tired of was the song picking for our DJ. Otherwise, it was one heck of a party. Her and I have a lot of the same tastes, so from what I heard of other horror stories with wedding planning, I had it easy.

Leach is a terrific interview, so long as you aren't that interested in talking football.

I do like his response to this reporter though (start at 17:40 if the video doesn't start there automatically):
