Title: Re: Congradulate me! Post by: stray on April 30, 2005, 01:58:55 AM Congratulations!
Is it going to be a big wedding, or just one with an Elvis impersonator? Title: Re: Congradulate me! Post by: Pococurante on April 30, 2005, 05:48:13 AM Congratulations! Now comes the fun part... A week before the wedding you'll wonder from what evil dimension came the demented spirits infesting your bride and mother-in-law to be. ;-)
And plan on kids. If you plan on sex anyway. Nature has a convoluted sense of humor sometimes. :mrgreen: Title: Re: Congradulate me! Post by: Signe on April 30, 2005, 06:25:42 AM I didn't plan on kids and I didn't have any. And you lot should stop trying to scare him. Wives are a wonderful thing. If you don't believe it, just ask me... I am one.
ToMr. Hat: Best wishes to you and Mrs. Hat. Wear a pirate outfit for the wedding. Since this is your moment of glory, I won't correct your spelling. Gratz! Title: Re: Congradulate me! Post by: Rodent on April 30, 2005, 10:08:48 AM Congratulations!
Are we all invited to the wedding, or do we need to show up as a drunken mob? Title: Re: Congradulate me! Post by: Merusk on April 30, 2005, 10:37:05 AM Congrats, Hat!
Married w/o kids? Why? I love my little tax shelters. Title: Re: Congradulate me! Post by: NiX on April 30, 2005, 11:44:04 AM I didn't plan on kids and I didn't have any.

Heck, you could start your own company selling in-game gold using those little hooligans. Mr.Hat: DING GRATS! Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: Signe on April 30, 2005, 02:59:23 PM I would be willing to adopt a full grown adult with a proper job and benefits. That's as far as I'll go. I don't like children much. They are much too little and mostly sticky.
Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: Viin on April 30, 2005, 04:30:52 PM Kids = Tax Refund+++!

I don't like children much. They are much too little and mostly sticky. I am looking for some arrangement like this as long as good cooking is involved and a nice house. Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: eldaec on May 01, 2005, 06:41:00 AM Congratulations. 8-)
Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: Jayce on May 01, 2005, 10:12:59 AM Congrats!
Here's hoping she's not a Bridezilla and you don't forget your lines! Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: MaceVanHoffen on May 01, 2005, 10:08:54 PM Congrats! I've been happily married for 14 years. Best part? Hot wifesex.
Oh and I don't have kids either. It helps with the hotsex thingy. Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: Bunk on May 02, 2005, 08:07:46 AM All of the ding gratz jokes have been used up, so I'll just say congratulations.
Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: UD_Delt on May 02, 2005, 08:09:14 AM Congrats... The wife and I have also said no to the kids thing. We much prefer the large amount of extra expendable income.
Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: Paelos on May 02, 2005, 08:12:48 AM Congrats. Please have kids. We need to start outbreeding the stupid people.
Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: WayAbvPar on May 02, 2005, 09:29:26 AM Congrats. Being married rules.
However, GETTING married is a fucking nightmare. Go to Vegas and do it quick! Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: voodoolily on May 02, 2005, 10:18:46 AM Gratty-poo! If you do have kids, consider breeding one and adopting if you need more. Paelos is right: we need to put a stop to reverse-Darwinism, but overpopulation is the world's biggest environmental problem.
Also, to make this go as smoothly as possible for you, just remember: say yes to everything. Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: MaceVanHoffen on May 02, 2005, 10:30:15 AM Also, to make this go as smoothly as possible for you, just remember: say yes to everything. Actually, just don't speak at all. The groom is really a placeholder for the bride's dream. Acknowledge your role as a posable action figure and just do whatever you're told. Being married is much better than the wedding :) Title: Re: Congradulate me! Post by: Polysorbate80 on May 02, 2005, 10:32:46 AM I didn't plan on kids and I didn't have any. And you lot should stop trying to scare him. Wives are a wonderful thing. If you don't believe it, just ask me... I am one. And here I thought the reason wives outlived their husbands was because women didn't have wives :) As far as the wedding goes, tip #1: let her have whatever she wants Tip #2: When she asks you what *you* want/like, see Tip #1. However, do NOT just say "whatever makes you happy." Make sure you pay enough attention so that when you're asked these inevitable questions, it sounds like you actually desire the same things she does, and that it's your own idea. Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: Jayce on May 02, 2005, 10:49:49 AM Be sure to watch Bill Cosby: Himself. I just re-watched it the other day and I think it is about the best primer on how to be just dumb enough not to have to do things that exists.
Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: Samprimary on May 02, 2005, 11:59:21 AM Congratulation internet stranger!
Enjoy the euphoria. Then enjoy it some more when it morphs into contentedness. Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: Fargull on May 02, 2005, 12:54:00 PM Congratz!
Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: El Gallo on May 02, 2005, 01:15:30 PM Congrats.
Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: Rasix on May 02, 2005, 01:36:20 PM Pfffft. Asking. :roll: I like how mine went;
wife: "Hey hon, I see this ring that would be perfect for an engagement ring. It's not too expensive." me: "Sure, buy it. I'll pay you back." (to my roommate) "Hey, I think I just got engaged." Anyhow, grats. Weddings are a giant pain in the ass. You'll feel so much better when it's all over. Some advice: simpler is better, the reception is not just for you (IE dry weddings make baby jesus sad), and agree to anything she asks and be helpful in areas that are garunteed not to piss her off. And whatever you do, stay away from writing you own vows; you'll never be able to say anything that compares to what they can come up with. Have fun and good luck in your future together. Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: MrHat on May 02, 2005, 05:18:20 PM Thanks for all the positive words.
I feel like I have to mention that we have already been living together for 3 years. As for the wedding, Holy-Fuck-Me-Christ it's going to be a nightmare. My family lives in Lebanon, and her's live in Colorado. Smells like Vegas if you ask me. Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: ahoythematey on May 02, 2005, 06:01:30 PM You should go to Branson. It's like a Vegas run by Ned Flanders. Silver Dollar City ftw.
Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: Viin on May 02, 2005, 06:19:12 PM Or have your wedding in Colorado.. then I could crash it! :evil:
Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: Strazos on May 02, 2005, 09:45:59 PM DING! Welcome to Hell on Earth.
But seriously, nice going, and all that stuff. Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: Ironwood on May 03, 2005, 05:48:01 AM Don't do it.
I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months - I don't like to Interrupt her. Barumpt-Tish. Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: jpark on May 03, 2005, 08:04:15 AM Gratz mate!
One of life's most important events. :-) Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: HaemishM on May 03, 2005, 09:39:56 AM Congratulations! Getting married was one of the best things that ever happened to me, right along with meeting the PopTart who turned into my wife.
Double congrats if she is a gamer. Quick weddings are best. They are cheaper and much less kvetching all around. Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: Roac on May 03, 2005, 09:41:33 AM Congrats. Being married rules. However, GETTING married is a fucking nightmare. Go to Vegas and do it quick! Seconded. If my wife and I had it to do over, we would elope. Still, it was an experience. Enjoy it, and congrats :) Title: Re: Congratulate me! Post by: MrHat on May 03, 2005, 09:51:10 AM Double congrats if she is a gamer. She's not a hardcore like me. But I know she has it in her when she played the Sims for 2 days with no sleep. Everynow and then she'll do something like that. |
