OT: Getting married in 4 hours

[CL82]

Yep...I get to handle the big things...like world peace.

My wife handles the mundane stuff...like where do we live, what do we eat, where do we vacation, etc....

Frees you up post on the BY, so really you both win.

Prenup or it didn’t happen

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Congrats! Have a drink before to ease the nerves but don't get wasted!

 

[Mano]

Update us every 20 minutes. Pics please!

 

[superjohn]

Congrats. If she feels the same way than yes. If not you better have @superjohn there for backup.

My parents got married on this date.

What did I do?

See op in thread.

My niece married a guy who kept running out to the parking lot to drink beers and smoke, even though it was an open bar. Don't be that groom.

Sorry for partying

 

[Lynyrd]

Don’t forget to slam the cake in her face ... sets the tone going forward and the in-laws will love you for it

 

[superjohn]

See op in thread.

Haha, makes sense now.

 

[storrsroars]

Good luck. Stay in the moment as much as possible. Gonna be a whirlwind. Don’t get so wasted you don’t remember any of it like one of my buddies until he was puking out the window of his ride away afterwards!

My first marriage, my wedding party of five was my younger bro and 4 UConn guys. Of course we went for drinks beforehand. One got fairly hammered and spilled a rum & coke on his tux. Luckily he was light enough where we could pick him up and run him under the hand dryer in the men's room until he wasn't soaked anymore. Got to the church with 10 minutes to spare.

We ran up a $300+ bar bill after the reception (this was 1981 when $300 was actual money). Still have no idea who picked up the tab as none of us knew anyone with actual money.

Good luck on your wedding day. Know that with each successive wedding it gets easier and less expensive...

Good luck but
Not to late to bail

In Nov of 70 I married my first wife. Giants and I believe the Redskins were playing. Timing was perfect, vows during halftime, watched rest of game while in reception line. Maybe that's one of the reasons why I'm not still married to her. Timing is everything.

I think I read this story in Anthony Bourdain's book.

 

[QuickDraw]

Congrats, and don't forget this old saying,

Marriage is a 3 ring circus
1) the engagement ring
2) the wedding ring
3) the suffering
Enjoy

 

[temery]

Give me some Boneyard advice.

Don't mistakingly send an email meant for your girlfriend to an email group that includes your wife.

 

[vtmikeb]

Don’t tell your wife.

Nope, just had a cooler full of beers he and his boys wanted to drink while smoking cigarettes. That was 10 years ago, they have 3 kids now, but I think about it every time I see him.

How are you sure? Were you going to the parking lot as well?

 

[HuskyHawk]

You’ll be fine. Learn the words “I’m sorry”. Be able to say them like you mean it even if you don’t. Then learn to forgive her when she says it. Lastly, get to work minimizing how often you have to say it. We can all be better people than we are.

economically sound decision. those ‘open bar’ beers were probably $6 a pop.

Drink as much or as little as you want.

Your Adrenalin will be pumping so hard it won’t matter.

Make sure you block off time for and your bride to eat.

If you have day-of planner, lean heavily on her/him to make any substantive decisions about the day. The only thing you should be thinking about is being at the right place at the right time to say “I do” and having fun afterwards.

I see I was a little late. Hope you survived!
