I planned on posting this earlier this week, but I got wrapped up in a bunch of things, so what can I say? We've been dating for a bit more than a year now, and I proposed on Christmas eve. So I'm getting married, hope everyone has a good week!

Marriage has many pains, but celibacy no pleasures.

You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!

Congratulations! Marriage is tied with the best thing that ever happened to me. Along with having children.
My only advice (free, take it for what it's worth), on your wedding day take a step back every ten minutes and drink in the day. It will help you remember it more and also spot anything that needs to be addressed. This advice was given to me and I found it very valuable.

Congrats!
Few things:
1. If you're arguing about something retarded that you know you're right about and she's just ignorant about, such as anything mathmatical or scientific, sometimes it's worth it just to shrug and agree to whatever foolish thing she's saying.
2. Never go to sleep angry
3. Be sure to maintain seperate lives as well as having a married one, to me it keeps you both more interested in each other.
Other than that I think married life is a cakewalk. Good luck!

I wasn't crapping on the thread. I just remember a big fight we had about cleaning something in the bathroom. She's kinda ignorant about germs and bacteria growth, but she's still crazy about killing them, which leads to hypocritical ineffective cleaning methods that only make sense to her. I tried explaining what was wrong with her views about them, but then I just eventually decided it wasn't worth it, and that was a good move.

I'm quite sure married life is not for me, but I'm always glad when other folks decide to tie the knot.

Now if only you'd take that same approach on internet forums, this world would be a better place.

If two people are frequent posters on the same board they're bound to come into contact often.

I got married a few months ago and didn't even think of posting it on some random forum on the internet. Weird.

I love the U.S., but we need some time apart.

If you spend enough time on here you'll actually develop friendships with some people and actually meet them in public. For some it is far from a random internet forum.

Good news should always be shared and if you frequent certain sites then there's no reason not to say anything. It would be strange if the OP posted something over at dpreview.com (if he never went there) but sircastor is a frequent poster here.

Congrats!
isn't it the case that you're not supposed to say congratulations to people on their anniversary? I think I heard that somewhere.

I think that's just for inheritances.
Joking.
Seriously, no congrats for anniversaries? I have my ten year anniversary coming up this summer. I'd like a few congrats for that!

Congrats! I got engaged 3 days after you did and I am counting down the days until the wedding (90). We dated for a long long time so we are both very excited to be moving forward.
How involved are you with the wedding plans? [my fiance is looking over my shoulder laughing as I ask that question]
Will your wife join us on MacNN, we need more women here to balance things out.

But marriage scares me. What do you have when the sex inevitably dies? Divorce? Adultery?

Wow, what a skewed and gloomey view of marriage.
I have a wonderful relationship with my wife, she's my best friend and I enjoy spending time with her. Our relationship was not founded or based on sex and to try to base it only on that one aspect of marrige doesn't seem too healthy to me.

Getting married for the free sex is like buying a Boeing 747 for the free peanuts.

Congratulations!
And in spite of centerchannel68's "less than politically correct" means of stating it, any time you "know" you're right in an argument, you're way past time to quit and just agree; logic aside, the argument at that point is no longer about logic, it's about winning, and that's not part of a healthy relationship. My wife (of 27 years) has taught me many things, and the most important one is that HER LOVE AND RESPECT are far more important to me than showing I'm smarter than her about something. Revel in the fact that you share much and have much that is separate. You have skills and capabilities she does not and vice versa, and this is a Very Good Thing®! Enjoy and take advantage of this and grow together in the mutual discovery of your mutual differences and talents.
And don't forget to say "I love you" at every opportunity. Trust me on this. It'll seem kind of dopey at first, but as you progress, you'll find that sometimes the thought strikes you "what if that cab hadn't stopped and had run me over? Did I tell her I loved her today?" Always make sure the last thing she hears when you part company is "I love you." For you as much as for her.

Who says "the sex inevitably dies?" Not here, buddy! As the years go by, if you're with "the right one," it just keeps getting better!
I married my wife because I couldn't bear being without her. Through the years, she's taught me that I can, no matter how much it will hurt. I am strong because of her, strong for her, and strongest of all with her.

If you answered "yes" to either of these questions, then don't get married.

It has been determined in studies (don't ask for a link please) that married men have sex more often than single men.

Well that's not saying much..... single guys are lucky to get it once a month unless they're going steady with a girl; no?
