30 days until my wedding.

I always heard that planning a wedding and moving were the two most stressful things someone could do. I moved about a month ago and im getting married on sept 10th.

I should have eloped.

…faster cheaper easier. The only good thing coming out of all this is hubbub two good dinners. Nobody seems to be happy with what we want to do for the reception or wedding eve party.

Oh yea, and now all the money I would be spending on cigars… going to the wedding.

Im happy and excited that im getting married, but I cant wait till this is over.
 
Congrats!! And, hang in there. If she's happy with the arrangements, everything will be fine. :lol:

Remember, it's a day for the two of you, not everyone else. We just went through a wedding for my daughter and I had to keep telling my wife ... it's what she (my daughter) wants. And I told my son-in-law the same thing I said above ... smile and make sure she's happy with the plans. Good luck and best wishes!
 
Make sure you enjoy the day, honestly, or you'll regret it. This is a day to celebrate YOU (and your significant other)!!!!

Just relax, enjoy, smoke, drink, dance, whatever you need to do!

Ceeellleeebrate good times .....come on! Its a celebration...

I believe you me, I would have if I could have, and I pushed pretty hard. :lol: Really though, it is nice to have the memories of the day, but the month or so before the day is hell. That is one thing that really ticks me off: it seems like alot of weddings are just ways for people to showcase their money and kids. The actual marriage and what it means is almost an afterthought. Oh, and although you may hate your inlaws right now, it does pass, eventually.

All the best,


Joe
 
Mr brother just got married, everyone seems to have the same mind set "ahhh, cant wait till its over". Once you get to that day, time will stand still, well..... so it seems! Good Luck, Congrats!
 
I am from the other side of the conversation. My wife and I just decided one day tro get married the next. We went to the corthouse and got married, and it was the best choice that we could of made. Now it did piss of the rest of the family but Oh well. I hope you have a great day that you will remember for the rest of your ife.
 
My boss said to me the other day, "you need two people to plan a wedding, the bride and her mother." What are you worried about? Haha just kidding. I am getting married next august, a week after I take the bar exam. I think my boss' words of wisdom will be put to the test by me. Anyway, good luck with everything and congratulations. I am sure it will all be over before you even know it.
 
I will be married 2 years come October. It was THE BEST time I have ever had in my life.

Here are two rules to remember from now until the wedding:

1). Your wife will ALWAYS be right.
This is a very stressful time for her, so whatever she asks of you, just do it. No matter how inconvenient it is for you, DO IT. Always agree with her, no matter HOW many times she changes her mind. This is HER day. This is the day she has had dreams about since she was a little girl. It is NOT your day, afterall, how many times as a kid did you dream about your wedding??lol

2). If you ever think she is wrong, re-read rule 1.

Most of all, have just have fun. Drink in moderation, eat before the ceremony, and tell her over and over again how beautiful she is. God bless!

I have learned that the above statement applies after marriage also. My Dad told me the best thing you can say is "Yes Dear" LOL
 
Congrats, Kuzi!

And be sure to re-read Capt's post over and over again. :D

Count it times 3. I will be married 2 years in Novemeber.

I would change one thing though; drink heavily. you won't care as much when so and so says; you should have done it this way. That conversation sucks.

Have a great time; and congratulations.
 
Congratulations, my man! My wife and I just celebrated 15 years ourselves. We actually had a blast at the wedding - lots of funny stuff happened. Try not to stress out.

One key to marriage - don't teach your wife to golf (just the kids!)
 
Congratulations brother, I remember that day well, and it is 24 years on the 24 th of July.

Captain is right, but also remember to just relax and enjoy the day - no matter what happens, it will be a day you remember!!

Oh-Oh,,, so YOU didn't read rule #1 ehh. Or rule number 2 for that matter.
Good luck bro. Congrats.
My wife and I will be married 30 yrs. in December. I don't really know what to tell someone how to make a marriage work. I guess it is about respect for each other.
I do have one point I'd like to make though.
IF MOMMA'S NOT HAPPY,,,,,,, NO-ONE IS HAPPY!!!!!!!
