OT: I'm getting married!

[gaz2810i]

Congrats mate (thumbs u

 

Personally I love the fact that my wife of seven years has no interest in comics as it makes it all the more wonderful when she tries to share in my hobby. She doesn't always get it right and probably doesn't enjoy it as much as I do but there is nothing better than someone trying despite.

 

I hope you both live happily ever after

Yep, I've been in Panama visiting my girlfriend's family. Had an amazing time with them. Went fishing in the Panama Canal, went through a Rain Forest canopy tour drove through the craziest traffic in the world, went swimming in the Pacific and a whole lot more! All the while it was freezing and snowing back home in NC. The day after the trip I surprised my girlfriend with a romantic train ride to Washington DC, lunch at a fabulous restaurant, lava stone massage (at which time I proposed) and manicure for her in a wonderful spa at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel, dinner at the Union Station restaurant and the we rode back home First Class on the train. It was perfect and very special especially since I am a man on a budget. Now I am going to bed cause I've only had 5 hours sleep in 2 nights. God bless everyone here!

Congratulations to both og you!

 

Were the trees really big in the rain forest canopy tour?

Did you see any cool frogs in the rainforest?? I used to breed Poison Dart frogs. I have kept over 20 different species. I don't really keep animals anymore besides my dog. Just too much work to come home to take care of them. I work as a non-human primate specialist so the monkeys I take care of during the day are hard work enough.

 

Sorry for the tangent. I just get really pumped up when someone mentions panama! So much cool wildlife to be seen.

 

Congrats on the engagement!

1998 Saturday Night Live: The Joys of Marriage (Vince Vaughn)

 

 

Chris: Thanks for coming out with me, man. I can't believe this! Five days from now, I'm gonna be married! I'm freaking out, I don't think I can go through with it!

 

Vince: Ah, it's perfectly normal to feel a little nervous, Chris. I did when I got married.

 

Will: Same here.

 

Chris: Listen.. can I ask you guys some marriage questions?

 

Vince: Shoot.

 

Will: Yeah, we'll give it to you straight.

 

Chris: Okay.. because Katie and I are fighting about stupid things all the time, and.. I don't know.. did you guys fight a lot, before you guys were married?

 

Will: I'm gonna let you in on a little secret, Chris - once you get married, the fighting.. stops!

 

Chris: Really?

 

Will: Yep.

 

Chris: It stops completely?

 

Will: Mmm-hmm. You never fight about petty things again. No more screaming about filling up the ice cube trays..

 

Vince: No more reamings for forgetting to replace the toilet paper roll. You know.

 

Chris: I don't get it - why the sudden change? Is it possible?

 

Vince: I don't know, it's just magic.

 

Will: Yeah, it's like a fairy tale, Chris. Marriage is just this incredibly, wonderful state of mind. Maybe it's the idea that you're gonna be with the same woman until the day you die.. that just frees you up!

 

Chris: This is just impossible! What, what else happens?

 

Vince: You lose weight.

 

Chris: You guys are fatter that me.

 

Vince: Hey, that's muscle, jerk!

 

Will: I mean, when you're married, you always want to look your best!

 

Chris: What about sex?

 

Vince: Oh, my God, it's constant.

 

Will: And totally spontaneous - totally. No more date nights.. just pure, adventuroud expermentation until you.. fall asleep in a.. in a spoon position.

 

Vince: The sex is so great, that you actually quit watching television - you throw the tube right out of the room.

 

Chris: Really??

 

Vince: Uh-huh.

 

Will: Yeah. It's all truth. And.. you completely stop masturbating. There's no reason to any more, you're so in love.

 

Vince: Yeah, and her breath gets better, too. You don't have to breathe through your mouth to kiss her any more.

 

Will: Get ready for long make-out sessions, partner!

 

Chris: Wow! That would be awesome, man! 'Cause right now Katie's not into kissing too much.

 

Will: Hey, watch things change! I'll tell you what's really great about marriage - you never ever think about old girlfriends again.

 

Vince: Yeah, you don't feel that urge to call them on the phone just to hear their voice on the outgoing message any more.

 

Chris: You still look at other women, though, don't you?

 

Will: Why?? You have everything you need waking up next to you, day in and day out! My wife's panties just keep getting bigger and better!

 

Vince: The other thing is, too, until I got married, I had absolutely no idea how much fun it was to talk about money.

 

Chris: Really??

 

Vince: Mmm-hmm.

 

Chris: Money? I mean, Katie and I almost got into a fistfight over joint checking.

 

Will: You know what they say, Chris: "Marriage eradicates defensiveness."

 

Vince: And criticism. I mean, once you're married, you don't feel that urge to criticize your wife's lack of education in front of a group of male friends.

 

Will: It's true! The beauty of marriage is that you're free from thoughts like, "God, I just want to run away." Or, "I want to empty my bank account and just run off, to a small college town, under an assumed name, and live with a young girl in a cotton sundress."

 

Vince: And here's the best thing of all - after you're married, you will not believe how close you grow to your wife's family.

 

Will: Yeah. It's almost scary how much you look forward to the time you spend with them. I mean, I can't wait for the holidays! [ loudly ] Hey, I love my wife's mother!

 

Chris: I hope that happens, because Katie's mom is being such a jerk about the wedding!

 

Vince: Ah, forget about it! For some reason, on your wedding day, all your mother-in-law's horrible traits will just.. [ snaps finger ] ..vanish!

 

Will: Yeah. The whole day is stress-free. There won't be any weather problems.. the band shows up on time.. and the photographer doesn't forget to get a shot of you and your grandfather, who dies a week later.

 

Vince: And you still have the energy to make sweet, beautiful love to your new wife at the end of the evening, six or eight times!

 

Will: It's not like you have an all-out brawl about the next day's travel plans, and you.. fall asleep on the floor in the corner, alone, holding a champagne bottle and wondering if you married a control freak!

 

Vince: Marriage is a wonderful dream, Chris. It's a wonderful, wonderful dream.

 

Chris: You guys make it sound really cool, man. I'm psyched! I gotta go to the bathroom, though.

 

[ Chris exits scene, leaving Will and Vince alone to think about what they've done ]

 

Vince: Should we tell him the truth?

 

Will: Nobody told me - screw him.

 

Congrats on your happiness.

Congratulations! As a man who has been married before, I can tell you that it is a great feeling to find someone who truly cares for you. Meeting my wife, last year, was the greatest thing that every happened to me. She and I are opposites but nothing could be better. We still have a lot in common, except for the movies we enjoy, comics, and some sports. (Although she enjoys ultimate fighting and football now.) But enough about me. Once again congratulations to you both. Enjoy life with one another.

I work as a non-human primate specialist so the monkeys I take care of during the day are hard work enough.

 

Congratulations and all, but you said you work as a non-human primate specialist...does that mean there are human primate specialists out there?

 

Are some of your colleagues keeping Homo Superior in cages? Now I know where the concept of the 'Saw' movies comes from. The monkey unwilling to let go of a banana outside its cage pales in comparison to running humans through a death-trap.

[Rodey]

Congratulations!! Are you going to dress up like the Silver Samurai? (inside joke)

Thank you everyone for the congrats. I got a lot of planning to do now. I might start selling a few things though. We'll see

Ha!

 

Were the trees really big in the rain forest canopy tour?

 

here is a pic from the gondola and our tour guide with the trees:

 

 

Did you see any cool frogs in the rainforest??

 

I actually didn't see any animals on the tour but I did see some monkeys in the trees when I went fishing in the canal

Congrats! Marriage is great

 

That was quite a lead-in to the proposal...your definition of "on a budget" is definitely different than mine

 

One recommendation: get good marriage counseling beforehand so you both have your expectations properly set.

Good luck to you Dude!
