Seriously though, it's a real strange emotion right now. Obviously I'm happy but it all feels so surreal. And all the wedding stuff we have to start thinking about man it's overwhelming. All of you married folk out there any advice would be more than welcome.

Its real easy she is in charge of everything except: The bar, band, and of all things the bach. party.

TAFKAS:

It's pretty simple and you already did the best thing...define the terms of the agreement prior to the agreement being executed. LOL..I have been married 15 years and the number one thing that was agreed upon was don't f**k with my Sunday or Monday if the skins are playing. It has worked on numerous occassions, weddings, outings....no thanks, there is a skins game on.

Half of the battle is over already!!! Dictate those terms early and often to make sure it is very clear!

Congrats and good luck!

congratulations.... the best advice I can give you... as a happily married man who is close to your age... is that you have to make sure your values are close to the same, and that you've found someone that you can live with when things are bad, as well as when things are good. That sounds cliche' (spelling?) but in the end if thats in order everything else will work itself out. I do hope you're one of us guys that want kids, and if thats in the future plans, then get ready to have your world turned over (for the best) and learn things about yourself that you never had the opportunity to think about before.

Its better to have someone to go home to everynight, than to have someone to go home with some nights.

Also, get all the head you can, cause that shits about to stop pretty quick...

That's exactly what I told my wife, and it's worked out pretty well. And as for advice, I think that's really how you should handle everything in a marriage. You have to communicate openly about your wants and needs, and clearly define boundaries that shouldn't be crossed-- like interfering with football Sundays! Of course, you have to be willing to accept and respect her side of that bargain as well. Basically, the keys to a happy and loving marriage are maintaining good communication, and expressing true appreciation and respect for each other.

Congrats, TAFKAS! Here's to a long and happy marriage for the two of you!
