Marriage Advice

[Booney]

Loads of good advice, but you're right Chocman, just enjoy the day it goes so bloody quickly.

Too right it does.... was gone before I knew and then when the missus asked how I thought everything looked and I replied that I didn't really notice I nearly missed out on my 'first one'....

Never got around to it after almost 20 years, always seemed like a waste of money to us.

Best of luck Big Phella, just do what you've done up until now mate, enjoy the company of your other half ... If that doesn't work, beer and porn is an easy fall back.

Cheers Connie, much appreciated mate

Question though, what do I do if beer and porn is already the fall back now

I don't suppose she has a sister?

No, sorry mate, but some of her cousins back in Poland

Gees I hope the missus doesn't read this !!

I know a good site with female Polish tennis players on it......

don't need to break the bank. just walk into an office pay the dough and sign a bit of paper and its done isn't it

[Thiele]

Good Luck and enjoy BP

[wycbloods]

As some of the others have BP it goes quickly so make sure you give yourself a few little breaks to take the day in because it was only 4 months ago for me and there are parts of the day that are just a blur already.

Enjoy it mate and good luck to you both for the rest of your lives together.

Why, what exactly does that entail me to?
If I pay money or spend some of my time doing something there has to be some sort of benefit to me.
Neither myself nor my partner are insecure enough to require a signed piece of paper to commit to each other. We're also not religious so the whole exercise seems completely pointless to us. Having kids is a much bigger committment.

Only 1 reason I could work out is an excuse for a pissup but who needs an excuse for one of those and stuff having one or my family would have to pay for!!!

[nuggety goodness]

also with the reception, how many people you are having there will affect how your day goes. if you can limit the amount of people then you will limit the amount of time you spend going around and saying hi to everyone and thanking them for being there... i spent all day cruising around and having three line conversations with people cos there were heaps there. made the reception even fuzzier...

[Big Phil]

Only 65 guests, so should be enough time to get round to all guests and not have it detract from enjoying the rest of the night...

Oh yeah, what would that one be Jimmy


Thanks to everyone for the well wishes and words of advice as well, very much appreciated...


And thanks for the nickname Adro as well Choccies, the missus actually thought it was funny

Being serious, i've been married for 11 years and I would say imo the key to a happy and healthy marriage is - mutual respect for each other. Let each other have their say and sometimes even when you know you're right, it's really not worth arguing the point just think agree to disagree. Also don't expect your life partner to like all the things you're into and the same goes the other way. Respect the fact that we are all different (even after commiting to marriage, i dont agree the two becomes one crap).. as long as you have your "together time" and all lines of communication are open you will have a great marriage and life together.. (I've been going to the SANFL by myself for over 20 years - my dh isnt that interested, but that's OK )good luck phil and congratulations to you and your intended. Have a great wedding day and honeymoon. All the best.

[Strawb]

ok marriage is like an institution but who wants to live in one of those.
I have been married for 5 years and my wifey and I have our moment but you sort through them. Listen to each other. And on the wedding day the camera's are a top idea.

i thought there were more then 65 people that are registered here and i was of the understanding that we were all invited

My experience tells me the second marriage is better than the first, my suggestion would be to make this a short marriage and get straight on to the second.

Best of luck, enjoy the day. Put disposable cameras on each table so you get lots of photos. You may even get some photos that are not of your mates kn0bs.

Sounds like my reception
Also if you have a backyard reception at your house, make sure none of your mates are passed out in your bed when you go to Seal The Deal

you really do not need to break the bank. my wife and i are coming up on our 1st anniversary and we did our whole wedding for under 4k (including rings and celebrant) i never thought i would get married but nothing will ever beat that day.

[LMA]

Aren't you a little young to be married HH, or is that the other Hackam Hawk I'm thinking of ?
