Mommyhugz1978 Is Getting Married Next Week! Any Nuggets of Wisdom?

[AJPratt]

I was going to post this in another thread and then thought with all of the wise Cheffers we have, someone I'm sure has great advice for the bride-to-be! I just wanted to share my piece of advice for weddings! Keep in mind that it is probably only 5 hours out of your day, and don't fret too much if something goes wrong--sometimes those are the best moments.

When we exchanged vows... My husband, who is a DJ, thought he would be funny--no surprise. When it came to be his turn to say "I do", the best man stuck a microphone in his face and in his deepest, cheesiest, gameshow DJ voice says to the minister, "That's right, Scott, I do." Everyone erupted into laughter. I just rolled my eyes. Typical Dave.

HAVE FUN!!!

It is a wonderful day! Relax and enjoy it! Try not to streess out so much that it messes up having fun. If you need to take a nerve pill!HA! I get sick on my stomach when I get nervous, so, I took one that morning and no nerves and it was an amazing day. Seriously, it is a great day, so, just enjoy.

And marriage is wonderful too! It has ups and downs but then everything does. Just be totally committed to it and all will work out.

Also, keep God in the center of your relationship is the most important thing. He will bless you abounds and provide everything you need.

Congratulations, Leah!

Since I've already been told my usual brand of advice wasn't appreciated (well, what could you expect from me?) I'll actually get serious for a minute and tell you this one nugget that was learned the hard way.No secrets. Okay, secrets are fine for hiding Christmas gifts and such, where trickery and deceit is all a part of the gifting process, but otherwise, no secrets. None. They always come out sooner or later anyway, so share everything.Enjoy your wedding day - it's the bride's day and the groom's biggest responsibility is to show up, but it's all over too quickly, so savor every moment of the day!

My advice is always tell the other one that you love them, even if you are mad at them. My husband and I try to live by that and we have been married for 71/2 years.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

71/2 years? Funny - you don't look that old!

 

[thechefofnorthbend]

I am no expert but my husband and I live by the faith of God and knowing that no matter what, we love each other and communication is the key to all happiness. Never stop talking to each other, dont be afraid to cry in his arms over anything, even the silly things. Dont walk away, go to sleep, or drive in a car angry. Work it out, even of it means an all nighter. Nothing is more important then resolution. Kiss each other every night before bed, every morning when you rise (even if you must wake the other to do so), at every passing chance and just because. You never know when the time will come that you wont be able to. Hold his hand in the car, on the couch, walking in the mall. The human touch generates more feelings then we can imagine. Touch his face, feel his whiskers, run your fingers through his hair. Show him you love him. Dont let the romance die. I truly believe that if you make each day like the first time you saw him, it will never get routene and never get old and you'll always have someone to look forward to growing old with.

AHHH, KG does have a serious side, lol. But I REALLY do agree with him on this one.On a side note, I actually died laughing the first time I noticed Darby's quote.

 

[jentapp]

Be honest with each other, and don't vomit or pass out during the ceremony unless you're video taping it.

Darby: That's beautiful! And, BTW: LOVE your quote!

lol....thanks!

DH and I will be married 3 years on the 28th of this month. If you cant love, laugh, cry, curse and scream and do it all with joy in your heart...what is the point?

A 15 year vet here...

The good times are easy, it's the bad ones that are hard. Love is the starting block, but it's commitment that will get you through the hard times.

That, and a good sense of humor, chocolate, a good girl friend (for you.. not him!!) and sometimes a good stiff drink!

We are currently in the a really bad time, having to close our business, pretty much losing everything, bankruptcy, and trying to start over (not a great thought for two seriously middle aged people.) But we will get through this together. I am bright, John is personable, we will be ok.

We're a team.. a horribly broke team, but a team nonetheless.

Here's the best advice you'll ever hear:
Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?

 

[mommyhugz1978]

Love to all, Leah

Communication - you need and have to have it.

 

[mistym]

use your P's and Q's! I say thankyou to my husband for doing the small things - doing the dishes, making the bed, vacuuming the floor. Its a small thing but I don't want to take his actions for granted. The good thing is that is comes back full circle so I also get thanked for doing the grunt work around the house.

I guess my thing is not to be taken for granted and this is one way to avoid that.
