A positive move, overall, but don't be surprised if her interest in crappy movies diminishes shortly after tying the knot.

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.

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.

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.

Now, , you are sure it's a woman this time, right? I'm sure you don't want any surprises like last time. .

Rev. Powell · April 08, 2009, 06:15:56 PM

Congrats, my man. Breed more bad movie lovers, if you will.

Derf · April 08, 2009, 08:11:59 PM

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.

Raffine · April 08, 2009, 10:01:45 PM

Congratulations!

Can they print the wedding invitations in SUSPIRIA font?

indianasmith · April 08, 2009, 10:57:35 PM

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!

Wonderful! The best to you and your partner. Many happy years are ahead of you!
