A girly man pretty boy who lifts weights in front of a mirror all day will say **** like that about just one woman for the rest of your life.
As a sunburned redneck who usually smells like horses and is covered in grease and hydraulic fluid, I say if you've found a girl who doesn't run screaming you ought to try and keep track of her
Congratulations, hope you have a good day with the wedding and many more to follow

Always treat her like your life would be miserable without her.
Don't argue about money.
Never go to sleep angry with one another, because you can never be sure you'll both wake up and you wouldn't want that with you forever.
It's worked for Nanc and me for 31 years.
Congratulations, Michael. I personally think marriage is the finest institution of mankind. Work together to make it last forever and you'll feel the same as i do about it.....

Sweet Jesus. 29 years for me and Linda. I grew up with this woman. Our mothers played together as children. This was meant to be. My only wish is that you will have as many years of fun, marriage, and friendship as my wife and I have had. my only word of advice: DAMN you if you ever let it get old. ALWAYS keeps her guessing, and NEVER let her think she has you figured out. Do this, and you will have a happy, healthy relationship for eternity. Damnit, Michael... best wishes to you both!

OR, your life will be miserable WITH her
Great advice Fitz. You and Nanc remind me of my folks in that you know what a good thing you've got... even with all the ups and downs.
We figured it out once, and there is a ridiculously good track record in my family for marriage.
Grandma and Grandpa- 52 years before he passed
Her oldest brother and wife- 57 years when he passed
Her next brother and wife- 64 years when he passed
Her older sister- they're working on year 72 (will be in September)
Her little brother is on 52 and still going
That's what, 297 years among 5 siblings!!!

you asked for it..
never think you have her figured out,,
28 years here with mine you will have rough roads
but just remember the lonely nights or the air for brains you knew..
and once you hit 20 some years you just don't want to brake another one in
or was it broke me in
yeah that's it..
don't just tell her you love her show her,,,, but not with money
it won't stop
don't sweat the small stuff it's not worth it and no one will care years later anyway, unless you do..and then it will be a thorn in your side.
and tell her she deserves you...if you mean it
live on love and don't let money tear you two apart..
if you still want it then you are ready..

Michael,
Congratulations!
0. Do be nervous tonight and even tomorrow before the service...that means you are normal.
1. DO eat some of the cake.
2. Do kiss the bride in front of the whole church.
3. Do dance with your Mother-In-Law if there is dancing at the reception.
Do practice your faith together, that is real important.
Do treat her like she is the most important person in your life....she is...and when the chips are down she is gonna stand by you and you by her like noone else will.
Remember tomorrow you are gonna say "forsaking all others" she is IT and once married you can look at other women but you go home to Her.
Have a wonderful life with your partner, my Judy and I will celebrate 37 years in August, my parents managed 62 before Dad passed on, my wonderful In-Laws are headed toward 60 next March, and there are things we each could have done better or maybe even differently, but its been a great ride for us.
May your's be as good for you two.

Don't let the honeymoon end! At least not your minds. Appreciate her smiles and always be doing things to keep her smiling. It will become the most beautiful sight to you and help you get through any rough times.
It's been almost 15 years for us and we still flirt and dance when our favorite song comes on. Our boys don't understand yet but we hope that we are setting an example for them later in life.
Best wishes!
Phil

Congrats, Burch! Me and Linda will be there. I'll be there about an hour early, in case you wanna look at some knives to take your mind off things.
Advice? Yeah, put her before others and yourself and you'll be just fine. If she ain't happy, then nobody is happy.
Don't push wedding cake in your new bride's face. I don't care if some people think it's a tradition, it's a stupid and degrading tradition. Don't do it.
See ya tonight!

Without being too crude, I'd have to say that pics of Burch's Wife wouldn't be a bad thing to see. Burch is getting a pretty nice looking young lady. I'd have to say old Burch is one lucky dude.

We were just talking about how we don't want to do that.
Thanks fellows for the kind words and great advice. I made it through 12 weeks of boot camp for the Marines, but I'm shakin' in my boots right now.
Here's a pic of the beautiful bride:

Burch,
Always keep talking, loving, seeking and enjoying each other. My wife of 31
years, Debbie, has always inspired me as I have her. I know we have accomplished more together than we would have seperately. Rule one:
It's not about the money. Enjoy, Fred
