Engaged!

[j.silvs]

Just thought I would let my good chums know I'm engaged to be married

Time to save up for the money pit they call weddings

[swampy]

My condolences ..

Do people still get engaged?

[j.silvs]

Some do.

Going out of fashion a bit but it's what we want I guess.

Not having kids so a wedding it is!

Congratulations.
Must be a weight off now you can have same-sex marriages rather than that pesky civil partnerships

On topic, yes they can be expensive. Depends on the numbers really. Have you considered a small affair at Gretna?

How much are you going to ask for your bike?

[whitmorereans]

You mad bro?

Seriously,










Worst mistake I ever made.

Congrats etc.

[j.silvs]

It's to a woman lol

Will look into small affairs.

Don't want to spend too much etc.

Not mad mate but you must be pissed lol

Congratulations

I'm surprised no-one has asked if you went down on one knee yet.....

My 2 year wedding aniversary tomorrow. Which reminds me, I have to get a card.

Benefits of getting married
- You get a ring
- You can say things like "the ball and chain", "the Mrs", "the wife"
- You get a lot of presents (make sure you draw up a request list as a mate of asked for money to be put towards a new bike... almost had it paid off entirely)
- You feel closer to your spouse. (gaaaay!)
- You don't have to try as hard to make a good impression as your locked in.
- You wont die of dissentry as women are a lot cleaner

Negatives
- Your stuck with the same woman until you decide to divorce.
- Divorce will cost you a bomb
- Marriage will cost you a bomb (im still paying it off 2yrs later)
- You will get nagged 10x more as you now belong to her.
- You will get ignored by women in clubs/pubs
(weird but true, if women see a ring they drop the conversation quickly and leave - I was having a conversation in a pub with a pretty girl and as soon as I said I was married she actually stood up and walked away... how rude)
- You can't be a messy untidy fucker anymore... I struggle with this one

All in all though it's been amazing. I have married my best mate. I laugh everyday and couldn't be happier. I'd like to read this back in 10 years time and see if things have changed.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I got married last year.


My advice, marry someone with parents wealthy enough to pay for it.

Then go to Mexico.

Having kids is the only reason to get married these days, as it makes the paperwork easier.

I meant a small marriage lol.

Nice insight bubbs

Yes I went on one knee

As a couple we have decided not to have kids, her more so than me. She has a high positioned job for a massive bank and can't afford to come out of her career

[P.addy]

Kids will come one day, you wait...

[fatjames]

Don't, not even once, refer to the occasion as a funeral. You WILL get in trouble. Aside from that, congrats. Have a great day and try to take some time to enjoy it yourself. Tips? Start thinking about music, speeches and food. Also, the seating plan and table arrangements will take longer than you think, especially if you have anyone in your family that needs to be kept away from someone else (feuding families ) Oh, make sure you find a decent photographer, you'll spend however much ££ on the day and rubbish photos will remind you forever.

1. Has she got any fit friends for bridesmaids?

2. Can I come to the wedding?

[j.silvs]

1. She has some very nice mates.

2. Course you can lol


Money is already there for the wedding luckily, thanks to my accident and her last year bonus!

Great tip about the photography. Will be looking for a good one.

[garth]

Pics of mates please.

I'll pretend I'm your brother.
