Back in January, I had a sudden rush of blood to the head, and done the old one knee job and proposed to my fiance and partner of 6 years.

Theball and chain gets fitted permanently on 30th October so I have only 8 weeks left as a single lad - and im only 26 !

Absolutely everything is welcome. Fatherly Advice - Pearls of Wisdom - Congratulations - Comiserations - Personal Accounts (not the banking kind) - and anything else for that matter.

The clock is ticking.

P.S. I want to express that I am not at all against anyone having their pets make us some sort of trophy sign, or hand written messages of support.

All posts are encouraged - even if it bears no relevence to the topic, at least it will keep my mind off how much ive paid for the bloody thing ...... Shocked

Edit : to change title.

I really hope her first name isn't "Hydrogen." That could make things a tad difficult.

Not to hijack, but on somewhat of the same subject, how do people with the last name of "Void" manage to write checks?

Okay, back on topic. Best of luck to you and the future Mrs. Smartbomb. Any plans for firecrackers in the future?

Don't ask her about before you,
Don't tell the truth about before her.
She will always remember and remind you.

SB:

Three rules for a good marriage:

1. She is always right.
2. Put down the toilet seat.
3. Learn how to say "yes dear" in a convincing tone.

Since you asked . . .

Don't man . . . . there is no need . . . keep it casual . . . and in the end you will keep most of your money . . . . just ask around . . . almost every guy who has done it now regrets it . . . .

And remember . . . you asked Exclamation

Congratulations SB
In my eyes you're already married, the wedding is just to tell the world about it, so enjoy and have fun.
About the toilet seat, just sit down when you P, saves a lot of cleaning and you can forget about up or down Wink

And she'll love you for it. Laughing

The rest is hard work for both, remember the verb-to share- and you'll be fine.

Have a great day and can we all kiss the bride please Laughing

4. (links with 3) Remember the last few lines of conversation when you are in "Yes Dear" mode. You never know when you will be asked to repeat it.

Thank you all very much !

I cant remember who quoted what but in an attempt to answer some of the things I read :

The date would have been Nov 1st but a giant balls up which I wont even attempt to explain led to the reallocation of the date to the Thursday. Avoidance of halloween was never intended, and I was quite in favour of it but it wasnt meant to be Sad

The concept of some lil firecrackers has been aired many a time and always results in postponing the debate to be discussed at a later stage. I have a feeling though that it is impending, as the famous words 'biological clock' have been dropped into the fray the last few times ....

Thank you for the 2 happy faces !

The surname 'void' is a subject which I will take with me to work tomorrow, where it will be opened up to my co workers and will likely be the instigator of a heated debate which should take us nicely into lunch time.

Braver man than someone (Donato ?) - its not entirely bravery, it is a bit, but stupidity, confusion, lust (on special occasions) and a mutual appreciation of hatred towards Jim Davidson are all important factors.

The three rules ive just noticed pop up (thanks TM) the first one is something I struggle with daily, almost constantly. The second I got a handle on, and the third I am slowly but steadily learning.

Keep it coming Wink

Congratulations SB!!!

My advice is to remember when you may think an argument is over - she might not think so. Laughing

That is the one lesson my husband said he learned from me.

I like marriage so much, I've gotten married 4 times. Wink

I wish you and your soon to be wife every happiness in life!

Good luck and best wishes. If you never use laundry detergent and fabric softener, it won't be long before your bride never asks you do to the laundry. Laughing

Seriously, in Western Society the man really makes out in a wedding. He gets great sex for almost a full year, his clothes and house cleaned, meals prepared and increased social standing. In other societies, he gets all that and a dowry.

Guys, marriage isn't Smile

, it's more like Evil or Very Mad

Good luck with your marriage, though. Hope all goes well.

Congrats, Smartbomb. Smile

You tell those uninformed people above you, Simpson. Wink

Have fun together every day.

Only argue in the nude.

Talk about the reasons you "found" each other at least once a month.

Build good boundaries together (inlaws especially).

Don't listen to most advice you will get.

You have made something work for 6 years, do more of the same.

Laugh together as often as you can.

<strike>Give up baiting for a month, then ease back into it.</strike>

Plan your future together, together (as a team).

Celebrate the past you have already made.

{I've been tolerated by the same womand for 29 years.}

Men with pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and they've bought jewellery. Wink

Best wishes, SB.

Congratulations sb!

Getting married is very much like making love to a beautiful woman, but just not so often.

Posted: Fri Sep 05, 2008 7:18 am

Congrats SB

i am getting married in april 09 and i am just 25 lol

@ Tommo

Congrats to you, the Mrs Bomb to be, and the Joneses.

When we got married, all our best arguments were about money (once I'd got the hang of offering to help with stuff, even if the help wasn't wanted - always iron badly).

To that end, seperate bank accounts are a good idea rather than a joint one.

Congrats smartbomb. clapping

Advice .....keep her on a short rein:

Quote:

Girls night out Two women friends had gone out for a Girls Night Out, and had been decidedly over-enthusiastic on the cocktails. Incredibly drunk and walking home they suddenly realized they both needed to pee. They were very near a graveyard and one of them suggested they do their business behind a headstone or something. The first woman had nothing to wipe with so she took off her panties, used them and threw them away. Her friend however was wearing an expensive underwear set and didn't want to ruin hers, but was lucky enough to salvage a large ribbon from a wreath that was on a grave and proceeded to wipe herself with it. After finishing, they made their way home.

The next day the first woman's husband phones the other husband and said, "These damn girls’ nights out have got to stop. My wife came home last night without her panties." "That's nothing," said the other. "Mine came back with a sympathy card stuck between the cheeks of her butt that said, 'From all of us at the Fire Station, Well never forget you!'
