Well After about a year and a half of dating, the gf and I got engaged this past weekend (it was actually Thursday). We have been talking about it for a few months now, and actually already sat down with the church and came up with a date of 7-7-07. So any advice? :)
Congrats man. Glad to see another idiot joining the rest of us.
As far as advice, the best thing I can tell is that before the wedding gets here, you will question your decision and wonder if you are making a mistake. Wedding pressure does strange things to people.
So, as a result, I would suggest that you try to stay as far out of the wedding planning as humanly possible. Stand back and let the girls do the work. Know your role. (Just writing the checks and keeping your mouth shut.) Everything will cost at least twice what you think it should. Don't bitch, don't question it. Just write the check, smile and have another beer.
If you have a few specific things that really mean a lot to you, pick the one or two things that are the most important and fight for them and them only. I don't know anything about your fiance, but if she's anything like my wife, you will not get everything you want; and no matter how logical your idea, it's stupid.
Get used to seeing that look that she gives you that tells you just how retarded you really are.
Oh, and enjoy any blowjob you get in the next year. It could very well be the last one you ever get.......
