Getting married next month..

[EllToPay]

Any advice?

[Pete]

Marriages are all very different.  Any advice that applies to business relationships, friendships, and familial relations applies to marriage.

[Stevesie60]

Don't stress about the wedding. You won't remember it because you'll be too nervous.

August.

Nervous?


Don't stress about the wedding because they aren't worth stressing about.  Spend as little as possible and make it as short as possible.

Definitely. I knew I was going to fart or something. Or pass out. But yeah, good advice is if it's not too late, elope. Then have a big party when you get back. Spend your money on the important things.

dont sweat the small stuff, but sometimes the stuff that you think is small is big to them, so gotta know how to play the game.  good luck

Yes.

People under 32 that fixate on a wedding are weird.  Which is longer:  the wedding or the marriage? (realize the inverse relationship between age and years left to live, thus the old people exception.  The Grandfather Clause.)  Which would you rather spend money on: overpriced snacks and booze or a vacation to hawaii?

make love to your wife in hawaii, not limbocker in his office after signing up for silver and linens.

Make sure you have lived together for at least a year prior to getting hitched (doesn't really apply to ETP as he seems to be past the point of no return so hopefully he did).

This.  Also, if you have friends coming in town, don't go out the night before the wedding and get wasted and come back to the house and hold amateur mma fights in the living room until 4 in the morning while the wife-to-be is trying to sleep in the next room.  The wife-to-be will definitely not appreciate this.

who gives a crap if she appreciates it or not, you're the one doing her the favor by getting married.  do what you want, when you want to.  if she doesn't like it she can always get divorced from you and rehit the singles market with the baggage that comes along with getting divorced.  this is something that she is absolutely terrified of and will do anything to avoid.

Bend your knees when you're up there or you'll pass out.

Great point.  Very accurate.
