GETTING MARRIED! I'm looking forward to this day. It's been a lot of planning and work (mostly done by my better half) but it'll all be worth it once we get the show under way.

So, any advice/tips/info for me? Wedding day advice, marriage in general, etc.

Wait till menopause starts then shut up, don't argue and find a nice hobby, like strippers. IF you last that long

Yes dear ??? not in this household. In the beginning it was, Can you post bail ?

Congratulations!

I'll answer your questions seriously, and let the others yank your chain.

Communication. This is huge. If you don't communicate with your partner, little things snowball into huge events very quickly. When in doubt as to whether you should say something or not, err on the side of being open and talk with her.

Respect. Courtship doesn't end once the ceremony is over. Treat each other with respect, and see how easy it is to maintain your relationship.

You must like each other as well as love each other.

I'm so happy for you. What a wonderful journey you have ahead of you!

I'll leave that for the wife to do.

Thanks! I'm definitely excited for it. We've been dating for 5 years now so I'm stoked to wear a ring and show off our commitment.

Congratulations Dave. My wife and I got married in June 2012, so not too terribly long ago. As a newlywed, one of the things I had the hardest time with was letting my wife change how I do certain things at home... it was never an issue when she would just stay over a couple days when we were dating but once she moved in and threw away all of my sponges and put the cleaning spray and brush in the basement(!?!) instead of under the sink in the bathroom, my impromptu bathroom cleans got fewer and fewer... why would she want to make it harder on me to actually clean the bathroom?!? I still don't understand, but she just doesn't like having cleaning stuff under the sink... and completely disallows sponges (how are rags better?).

All in all, expect a few new quirks and hiccups early on, that will hopefully wind up being only little petty things that might make you grimace at the time. The quicker and easier you shrug them off or resolve them, the better it will go.
