    Well after seeing Nigel’s posts I thought I’d post myself

    Getting married on the 27th December this year

    What is it with women and a wedding…… it’s like flies to s***e, the house is full of them organising things that I thought I might just have a little say in but guess not…. I’m just told where and when I’m needed :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

    Hey buddy

    you better get used to it – 14 years on for me and it’s just as you said but with kids now too!

    but what would we do without them, just go with it and have great wedding day!

    good onya John. Congratulations.

    23 years for me and the missus… The woman have it all planned mate, they dream of this day from girlhood, so nothing you suggest will be right, or clever… just say ‘yes dear’ at the appropriate times and things will be sweet. :lol1:

    Well done

    Congrats John!! Just past 3 years for me & Manda. No regrets – other than my losing custody of the remote control…..
    Must say I did have it kinda easy as she was still living in Canada, I just turned up & said "I do"!
    (Secret insider tip) Feign interest if you have to – just avoid the words "it’s fine" or "I’m not bothered…" when asked for an opinon….you’re meant to be as excited as she is about what colour the napkins will be!!

    Congratualtions again.

    but have you thought of all the expense at the same time? Not just this year, but for the rest of your married life. Christmas and aniversaries 2 days apart?

    I got married on my birthday once.
    I was feeling blue about turning 30.
    Also thought it would be easier for the husband to remember both my birthday and our anniversary.
    …I have been divorced for 6 years now.
    😕
    love….Jill

    My wife got married on her birthday.

    Jill’s right. It does make life easier. Only one chance for me to foul-up instead of two.
