And all over the world, women are.. well, they don't really care that much.

But congratulations. It's a fine institution.

As a recent groom myself, I offer my congratulations. I still think you're too young to be doing this, but that doesn't mean congratulations aren't in order. May this day be one you never forget, and never regret.

This all said, I offer you one last piece of advice, one which my mother-in-law's fiance offered me before the ceremony.

Your bride going to walk down the aisle up to where you are standing (I do not know the details of your ceremony but somehow I'd be surprised if you held it in a church, except maybe a Unitarian church). When she arrives, just before the officiant starts speaking, tell her that she's beautiful. Nothing fancy; "You're beautiful" will do. It doesn't even have to be loud enough for anyone else but her to hear; in fact, I suggest you not make a big deal of it. That moment is something only for you and her, and this will be your only chance to do it. The expression on her face will be well worth it.

And, uh, oh yeah; I feel your pain.

There isn't much that's more nerve-wracking than The Big Day. But believe me; when all is said and done, you'll look back and realize that it really was the happiest day of your life, even if it might not seem like it right as it's happening.

Condolences. I mean CONGRATULATIONS. Yeah. Really.

Skywalkers new Hand · Aug 6, 2003, 04:37 PM

Ok congrats. But do you think we need a poll on how long it will last?

Ahhh... spoken like someone with no kids.

Getting married is nothing compared to the birth of a child. Whole different league.

But pretty much everything is.

Phanguye · Aug 6, 2003, 05:08 PM

Well, let me be the first to say congratulations to you man; you have one vagina for the rest of your life. Real smart man.

andi*pandi · Aug 6, 2003, 05:12 PM

Congrats, Cash!

My advice is to get lots of rest before the big day. Do the bachelor thing 3 days before so your fiance isn't stuck assembling favors, programs, etc by herself the night before.

Not that I'm bitter or anything.

Our little boy is all grown up... sniff....

Sherwin · Aug 6, 2003, 05:23 PM

Congratulations Cash!

lil'babykitten · Aug 6, 2003, 05:38 PM

Congrats!

I hope your soon to be wife shares your passion for cars however!

talisker · Aug 6, 2003, 05:44 PM

Cash, I got married just over a month ago, and it was an absolutely brilliant day. Some advice I got, which I did follow when I remembered, was every hour just stand back a little for a couple of minutes and take in what's going on around you, otherwise you stand no chance of remembering it. Even so, we started with our wedding ceremony at 2:00pm, and then carried on partying until about 4:30am, and it seemed like it all took about 5 minutes! Also, I have to say I didn't find the actual marriage thing THAT nervewracking. Sure, I was excited and a little nervous I suppose, but not going-to-faint-knees-trembling sort of nervous. Maybe about the same as for a job interview, but in a nice way. If that makes any sense.

Michael_Jackson · Aug 6, 2003, 05:56 PM

i still remember my wedding as if it were yesterday. a few years ago, when I was 14, I decided that I was tired of masturbating to internet and magazine porno. so i went online at goodwife.com and ordered a lady from Ukraine.. a month later, she arrived, and we had a commitment ceremony. ok, so it wasn't actually marriage. but we had lots of sex afterwards. then a year later she 'divorced' me and moved away.

wdlove · Aug 6, 2003, 05:58 PM

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage permanent68. It is a great time of life!

dav · Aug 7, 2003, 08:08 AM

can't top millenium's advice, so just congrats.

PB2K · Aug 7, 2003, 09:07 AM

I'm happier as a single, but congratulations. What kind of girl is it?

Don't be a dick. People said the same thing about me (I got married young, was loud, opinionated and stubborn as cash,

, no offense or anything), 7.5 years and 3 beautiful children later, still going strong.

gadster · Aug 7, 2003, 09:22 AM

Congratulations Rob,

taliskers advice is great, it will be over in the blink of an eye, seriously. It's funny how much planning goes into a wedding when they're over so quick.

And milleniums ploy is a beauty! I did a similar thing when I got married, except I kissed her as soon as she got within range. Probably bad form, but what the hey.

One thing we did, which worked really well, was to have two MCs at the reception; my brother and her brother. They were able to bounce a lot of material off each other. It built a solid sense of solidarity between the two families on the day.

And don't let the photographer dictate your every move. The last thing you want is someone ordering everyone around!

Link · Aug 7, 2003, 09:23 AM

Congrats cash, I just hope you are prepared to put up with her for the rest of your life

:shrug: You're a nice guy

no surprise women would like ya lol (directed at those snowball in hell things)...

so congrats are in order.. best of luck to you and your soon to be wife!

DeathToWindows · Aug 7, 2003, 09:48 AM

See, that's the advantage of my idea; you don't have to lean in or anything, so there's no way it could be considered bad form. Your guests aren't even likely to know you've done anything.

Nice lady you got there.

wolfen · Aug 7, 2003, 12:33 PM

I look forward to the posts that will be generated over the next couple years by this life changing event.

Cash, it's one wild ride. I hope you've got both hands on the steering wheel.

Congrats.

This thread was dead, so I used it to post a question which I thought was inappropriate to create a topic for.
