Dude, that's awesome. Coming up on 8 years with my wife...it's not always easy or fun, but it's fantastic.

Congrats man, Been with mine for almost 14 years and we finally did the paper work last month. We have been married for a decade or better, just not on paper.

Good luck its a big jump but it can be the best thing you will ever do.....

I opened this expecting to see an N54 swap haha. Congratulations and best of luck!!

Yep, I'm disappointed.

This too, and after reading the first post, this nutjob (OP) for sure won't be N54 swapping.

JK! Congrats OP!

Was expecting another N54 build

So congrats!

same here.. didn't see the screen name looooool

Hahaha same here!

Congratulations!!

This is r3v, thread titles never have anything to do with the content.

And thanks for the kind words everyone, it's a big step, but a welcome one. Fortunately we both have siblings who are married and have taken care of the grandchildren part, so hopefully there won't be much pressure there. As for asking her dad's permission, I'm a bit old school in that respect. Also, given the amount of ammo he got for Christmas for both his 12 gauge and AR-15 I figured it was prudent ;)

Two things
1 if you are smart you will keep out of the planning for the most part, but involve yourself by periodically asking if she needs any help or if there's anything you can do. Wedding dress, listen to her bitch about the shopping for a dress, you can't help per say, but you can listen. Best thing you can do for your wife now and in the future is listen and be involved.
2 I'm going to need to see pics of future wife.
Congrats buddy.

R3v, wehere people care more about an N54 swap than some dude's marriage.

Oh I have the technology to do that. But considering matt is a 30 sec walk from me at work, I'll refrain from doing so :nice:

[matthugie]

Don't worry Julien, I'll take care if it.

I'm not gonna lie. I hate weddings. At my brother's wedding last summer, I was more interested in riding around in the 76 Cadillac than sitting and chatting with boring and/or drunk people and women in their 60's dancing with barely anything on.
Although that was better than a classmate's wedding a year before that. That was boring as hell.

Pleeeease make sure your friends aren't bored. Screw the old farts, its not their party.

nice work! The future wife is looks great! And delatlanta1281 was dead-on with the advice.

Thanks man, that is what I was planning on doing. Fortunately (or unfortunately) she hates planning stuff, so I think she'll keep it simple.

Honestly, I don't give a shit. It isn't their party, and situations are what you make them. If you want to have fun, you'll have fun. My friends know how to have a good time, and will be fine regardless.

Congrats bro !!! Im on my second marriage ...first one lasted 13 years and my second one we are at 8 years now. Second time around is way better with my current wife by far. But your wife looks like a keeper treat her well and that = more e30 shit for yourself >;). Good luck !!!

[SubDad]

Congratulations!

My wife, her sister and one of her friends arranged our marriage. I was braced for the full deal with matching coasters and floral whatnots but she was and is too sensible for that.
It ended up being only about a month's pay and the best party of my life. At midnight the wait staff said "Your wine's over there, beer's in the cooler, lock the door when you leave."

Can't understand people who spend multiple 10s of thousands on one day. Crazy.

My wife mentioned that if she told caterers "Wedding" the price was twice as high as when she called back and said "Party."

thats awesome, i would just do mine in my backyard and have the mother-in-law cook. I can definitely see that happening with caterers.

congrats OP, my girl and i been together for 6+ yrs and had the marriage discussion and she wanted me to spend the money on a house instead of wasting it on one day...yea shocker, i know...lol. House is here and baby is on the way now..guess i'm doing it backwards...lol

maybe this summer i'll pop the question.
