Yes.easjer's a patient woman, isn't she?
Excellent advice.
Remember it's not a fairly tale and it won't always be easy, but it may be easier than you expect at the same time. Focus on what is important about the wedding and don't get caught up in the trappings.
Congratulations! and good luck.
I hope he wouldn't swing that way with Luke Walton.

Congratulations! I am so happy for you.
I would advise you to be sure to set aside time in the midst of wedding planning for you and your fiancee. I recommended taking time to debrief and refocus on what you want in a wedding. It is important to do this just the two of you because it is hard to make decisions regarding what you really want/ need around people- since they are constantly throwing well meaning suggestions at you.
Also wedding planning can be stressful so be sure to take breaks where you forget about the wedding and just have some fun.
Keep going on dates.
Another thing that is helpful is to be aware that weddings, especially the planning process are stressful and sometimes brings out sides of people that are not so nice.
I was not prepared to face opposition when it came to my relationship. I thought everyone would be as happy about my relationship and its progression as I was. In fact I have had some people be downright nasty about it.
What caused a lot of extra hurt for me is that the hostility caught me totally unaware and so really knocked me for a loop.
The best advice I have received is be aware. Be gracious but also be firm.
Your relationship is your relationship. Don't be bossed around about it.
But do all you can to feud or burn any bridges- especially with family.
Don't include anyone in your planning out of obligation. Make sure those helping you are people who one hundred percent have your back ( tried and true friends) and are people you know will do anything they can to help you achieve your desired wedding.
Don't feel like you have to have a big or traditonal ceremony. Pick a location, food, and theme that is pleasing to you and your fiancee.
Everyone has advised me to have an actual ceremony over going to the justice of the peace because they say I will want that memory.
So I will share their advice with you and also say that I am all for J.O.P. weddings.
My sister had one and it was very nice. The Judge was very kind- even took them outside to perform their ceremony so my sister and her husband would always have "their spot".
JcPenny's is great to register with- they give you nice gifts.
I recommend taking some sort of pre-marital counseling. If nothing else, it is nice to have someone who will listen to you vent about wedding induced stress. And someone who is not connected to the drama can often be of help to you as you are in the midst of it all.
Know that you will probably change your mind about something- flowers, food, vendor- so don't rush making decisions.
I have 20 now useless canisters I was going to use as wedding favors to remind me of that.
Wrapwithus.com is a great place to get wedding favors and cake accesories.
I bought both favors and cake accessories ( and matching guest book and toasting glasses) from them. I am delighted with my purchases. They are beautiful, were very reasonably priced, and arrived quickly and in one piece in the mail.
If you can, allow yourself a lot of time to plan the wedding. Start looking for things you might like as far an advance of your chosen wedding date as possible. It will help you save money.
Also I have found that most budgets in wedding books were not realistic for me in the way they were allotted.
I spent more money on some things then they said I should and spent a lot less than what they budgeted on other items.
But the budgets are a good starting point to tweak from.
Another very helpful wedding planning website:

That is all I can think of off the top of my head.
I hope that helps you.
Congratulations again!
Congrats to you too!

You're girlfriend is cute. I'm sure she could do better.

It couldn't happen to a better person
God what a r!
Congratulations - I hope you and your fiancee will be at least as happy as my wife and I have been (which is pretty darned happy).
Congratulations!! Start getting used to biting your tongue on a lot of . It helps.
hahahhaha
Not so sure how excellent the advice can be from a guy who's in the middle of a divorce. But, in my defense, my soon-to-be ex is a psycho. She didn't trust me if I wasn't in her line of sight. Ironically, she cheated, not me.
Sorry, Xylus. Not trying to hijack your thread. I hope the two of you are truly happy together. As long as you are both honest, trusting, faithful, open, and understanding, your marriage will last.
once again, don't forget the orgasms. Can't stress that enough.
This coming from a guy who looks like he got hit with an ugly hammer.
