Ah, and now the long and arduous road called "wedding planning."
Godspeed to you, sir.
Enjoy it, man!
Hopefully, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
cheers!
Congratulations!
Just don't blow up the joint! She'll come around.... :tongueout:

I feel for you. Rumor has it I'm about to enter "Father of the Bride" mode. In fact, I have a standing date to watch "Father of the Bride" with my daughter, but we can't decide whether to go Spencer Tracy or Steve Martin.
Update: I should clarify that I feel for you on the arduous "wedding planning" road. Marriage itself is pretty cool. Weddings are fun but nuts.
I'm leaning toward the Steve Martin version because of the insane wedding planner played by Martin Short.
Alas, poor Joe, we knew him well. (http://www.websmileys.com/sm/love/144.gif)
So when are you up for parole?
In all seriousness, congrats Joe and best wishes. :thumbup:
Congratulations!
Now you'll only get one vagina for the rest of your life! :tongueout:
Why don't you stay engaged and not actually bother with the wedding bit.
You'll save money, but you won't lose the love :wink:
COngrats, best move I ever made.
A positive move, overall, but don't be surprised if her interest in crappy movies diminishes shortly after tying the knot. :teddyr:

If she has any to begin with. My then-girlfriend looked at me kind of strangely after I took her to ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES on a date, but she married me anyway. Joe's fiancee probably is marrying him despite his interest, not because of it.
When we were dating, my wife watched cheesy movies with me all the time. She even went to Chicago with me to attend B-Fest. After getting married, it's hard to get her to watch them, with the exception of MST3K versions. Oddly enough, her sense of humour is right for cheese, but her taste in movies leans more toward costume dramas and chick flicks.
RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNN!!!!
...er, I mean, congratulations. :cheers:
Yay! Wedding planning is so F'n fun! Guys shouldn't really have much to do unless you have really strong opinions on flowers.
I didn't marry my husband for his taste in movies, but when he showed me the VHS collection in his basement I think I fell in love. It was like being in the horror section of a giant video store in 1989.
All the best dude. :smile:
Congrats!

Ah, and now the long and arduous road called "wedding planning."
To quote the Man Show: Handy tip, if she starts bugging you to help plan the wedding, here's a good way to get out of it. Tell her you think a football theme would be great. She'll never ask for anymore help with the wedding after that.
(Or Planet of the Apes.)
Now, , you are sure it's a woman this time, right? I'm sure you don't want any surprises like last time. . :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle:
Congrats, my man. Breed more bad movie lovers, if you will.
Congratulations! Be prepared to do a lot of "Everything will be fine dear" type talking over the next months. Probably a little "Let's do it your way, not your mother's way" as well. Maybe even a dash of "We can just elope, if that's what you want" thrown in for good measure.
Congratulations!
Can they print the wedding invitations in SUSPIRIA font?
Congrats, sir.
Just remember, you are the guy. Wedding plans will pretty much take care of themselves. Just wear what they say, stand where they want, and remember four words . . .
"I do!"
and
"Yes Dear!"
One other thing . . . if she asks you what you want for your birthday/anniversary/Christmas gift . . .
never, ever say:
"A concubine!"
Thanks everyone! I would have been on yesterday, had it not been for that monster cold I came down with.
I know we're holding off until next year for the ceremony, mainly because we want to give some of our relatives and friends who live far away some time to save up money to come out here, two of which being my sister and my best man.
Thanks again! :cheers:
Wonderful! The best to you and your partner. Many happy years are ahead of you!
:cheers:

All depends on how smart she is. She might ask "Is that the prickly critter or the harvester?"
A memory from the wedding planning:
Her: So how big a wedding do you want to have?
Me: I was thinking sort of medium, not huge.
Her: Me too
Me: So, like, 20 people?
Her: Hahahahahahahahahahaha......
Like Indiana said, just stand where they put you. We wrote our own vows and I was proud of what I wrote, and I helped find and select a photographer, but that was about my entire contribution.
Hmmm. I'm guessing a congratulations are in order.
Weddings seem fun.
My friendship group are only just starting to make the plunge now [early to mid 20s]
Seems to be in at the moment.
Here's to being fashionable! :cheers:
