Wishing you and your new bride to be all the best that is to come.

BTW. My part of helping to plan a wedding was to get out of the way of the bride and her mother and log as much overtime as I could :D

The advice my dad gave my brothers and I when each of us got married was simple. "Look good. Show up. And pay for it." :D That is the extent of your responsibilities when it comes to planning a wedding. Stay out of her way, "yes dear" is a good thing to say. Don't let her talk you into wearing pink flowers even under the guise of "peach" and know all along that a wedding ceremony is for her. It's $10k (or $2k or $35k) that could have gone into a car/boat/plane (or the really important one, a house).
Congrats on the new stage in life. Best of luck and many happy years together.

Congratulations!

After 13 years I know that premarital council and being on the same page concerning money, religion and family is a necessity for a lasting marriage.

Best wishes!

All the best, and good luck.

Don't give up on your dream though. Some weddings will pay themselves with help & gifts from family and friends. You should be back on track soon enough.

Cars come and go. Your life partner is the most important thing you will ever make a decision upon. Choose wisely. Good luck and best wishes.

Congrats! Since we're spewing out advice here, here's my $.02. After 19 years and 2 kids, probably the best advice I can give you is.....go into it knowing that it will not be perfect. There will be arguements. There might be a few epic fights that your neighbors will be able to hear. Things will happen that you won't like......some within your control...some not. She is not perfect and neither are you. Learn to forgive and forget.

I think too many people go into it anymore thinking that everything is just going to go smoothly the whole time, and by the 3rd arguement, they're ready to call it quits. Not trying to paint a picture of doom and gloom at all. I'm really not. Just be realistic with yourselves and your expectations going in and all will go much better.

Congrats!! I was wearing those shoes 42 years ago, and haven't regretted a minute of it...well.....maybe a minute or two! All the best to you and your bride.

Cheers, Jeff

Yes dear, Im sorry and I will try to do better next time. That is the advice I got from my father in law, celebrated 50 years last month.

Communicate about everything, be on the same page for money, it sounds terrible but get the priorities and the small stuff will be easier. Pick your battles and realize we men are simple, women just do not know it. Sweat the important stuff, not the small stuff. Who cares if the seat is up or down. Have fun, it is a long haul.

Shane is right no one is perfect, there will be fights, never go to bed angry, never lash out for spite, there will be more fights. Laugh at yourself and at each other. JMHO, YMMV, Richard.

Should we tell him about the make up sex after the fighting? :eek:

[Kalstar]

Just me a man and get the last word, or more correctly the last three words.

I am sorry.

I'm a jerk

You are right.

I am wrong.

I love you.

Any of those do just fine.

[NICK C]

Congrats! Things will all fall in place as they should. The car will come. My wife is my biggest proponent for my car and I can't thank the man upstairs enough for her. ( Was that ok Dear?). Seriously Live, Laugh, Love!

[afourcault]

the count down clock has begun! 5 days till she is back in my arms(she is moving from germany to be with me(long story))

[LCD Gauges]

Ewwwww, barfff...he said something romantic!

Quick someone insert a picture of something manly like an engine, or a car!!! :D

[afourcault]

So she is here finally and I've finaly gotten the time yo upload a pic of my beautiful wife to be5096

[skullandbones]

You should get "auto-amnesia" looking at her. But if you play your cards right, you could be back in the game before you know it. Just keep showing her pics of the GTMs. She'll probably get hooked like you did. Good luck and have fun! WEK.

Men go into marriage believing their wife will never change.
Women go into marriage believing they can change their husband.

:D

good luck! married 27 years, 2 great kids, and a roadster build in progress, I'm very happy (but you have to work at it!)

[fuelman700]

Yep er,
I agree with all of what has been said. Third time around this block and it has lasted twenty years, lots of heated discussions with making up later. Men do not talk as much about feelings as women, try to if you can, but u will not say as much as she wants to hear. Listen to her day (very important) listen; Do not try to fix it. She wants to tell you everything and wants you to hear her. I learned to mirror (say back to her) what she said about her feelings. Be as honest as u can and don’t be secretive (my down fall).

Good luck, it will be the ride of your life with or with out the GTM.

Best Regards, Ron
