Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2007 It's simple, really: 1) You're too deep into this to be asking that now. 2) Because of 1), you're doomed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boon 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2007 Double check EVERYTHING before the wedding. True story: I went to my brother's wedding this weekend, and the person they hired to make the wedding cake forgot to make it. So we had wedding ice cream. There were tears. Other than that, best of luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2007 You better make your face up in your favourite disguise With your button down lips and your roller blind eyes With your empty smile And your hungry heart Feel the bile rising from your guilty past With your nerves in tatters When the cockleshell shatters And the hammers batter Down the door You better run Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you keep turning the volume on the TV/radio/whatever louder until you drown out the sound of her voice, you should be fine. Oh, and be prepared for the worst on your wedding day. The only one of our vendors that delivered everything they were supposed to was our harpist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2007 If you keep turning the volume on the TV/radio/whatever louder until you drown out the sound of her voice, you should be fine. Doesn't work. She'll just bitch louder. Zoning out works just fine. Regarding the vendors: They weren't the problem at my bachelor funeral. The less family you have there, the better. On the bright side, because you'll be away getting pictures taken of you and Mrs. Smitty, along with making the rounds thanking everyone for coming, the day will go by rather quickly. And you better not be marrying no queers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2007 Have you been living together? If so, getting married really doesn't change that much. I found that moving in together was a much bigger deal. Also remember, to you the wedding is special and fun and a time to see your friends and family. To her, it's the most important day in the history of the world. Don't fuck up, even little things and go along with what she wants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Ol' Smitty 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2007 Also, FWIW, (and for those who have read my latest thread) I am getting married outside, by a judge. However, I think there is going to be some mention of God in the ceremony, mostly to appease the familias. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well then I'm sure the judge is a red diaper doper baby, meaning your wedding certificate would be a "living, breathing document," meaning you could probably get out of this bondage whenever you wanted with little or no financial hit.

kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2007 After 12+ hours of standing around and getting pictures taken in 90+-degree weather with high humidity, all while wearing a tux, as I entered my hotel room on my wedding night I thought, "Man, now I also have to have sex? I just want to go to sleep." So this was like just any other day for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tzar Lysergic Report post Posted June 6, 2007 Woman and I have decided to abandon the rest of humanity and get married by some kind of beach prophet on a caribbean island. My parents might be there, but her mother and stepfather are absurdly religious and bizarre. Her brother is a good shit, though. Navy guy. Pretty well-adjusted. My brother is a gorilla.

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2007 My photos seemed like they took 12 hours, because my mother-in-law insisted that we go to every spot in the horse-drawn carriage that drove my wife to the church. Horse-drawn carriages move very slowly. We were an hour late to the reception. There was tension. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 There was tension at mine, especially when the crack-whore sister-in-law stormed out because she wanted to bring an uninvited guest the day of the wedding. Good times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
