Well, I finally got online (using dial-up until SBC installs my DSL), so here are a few updates. A week from today, I will be a married man! Whee! I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be excited or frightened. Shut up, Morpheus & friends. I've taken a week off from work, so I can get everything done. I should have just hired a good wedding coordinator. I'd have lost as much money as not working for a week, but I would have spared myself the headaches.
I'm way too mean to people lately, too. Everyone knows my wedding will be huge (500 guests), and everyone wants to sing and get their little moment of fame. I've already decided who sings at the wedding, and I'm cramming all the leftovers into the reception. They can do their thing there. This girl came up to me today to ask me if the wedding programs were finished. I said yes, knowing why she was asking. I told her she could still sing, but at the reception. No one will be listening anyway. Romanians eat loudly.
We've got our eye on our next car, a TDI Bug or Jetta. We waste way too much money on gas. Diesel it is.
WE'VE FINALLY GOT OUR PLACE! And it has a gorgeous view of the north Chicago skyline and the Lake Michigan. It's a huge studio, so we took my huge bookshelves and made a wall with them, for a quite spacious makeshift one-bedroom apartment. It's all furnished and ready. The only thing missing is DSL, but that will be installed while we're on our honeymoon.
This upcoming week will be frantic. I have to return my fiancée's wedding band and hope I get a decent amount of money back. The more I look at it, the more I realize what a half-ass job was done, at least compared to the awesome job on the engagement ring.
So starting tomorrow morning, I take a deep breath, and only come up for air a week later... in the US Virgin Islands.

I know you told me to shut up, however unless I do this I will not be able to rest.
BE AFRAID. BE VERY AFRAID.
If you must get married, fine. But have the good sense to get a prenup. That way, when things go south you won't be stuck in a situation similar to mine. I wish you luck, you are going to need it.

Originally posted by evilsmurf Yokoshima is a formidable man. When I met him, he had this aura of danger reeking from him. Such poise self-confidence made me acheive a hard-on in his presence.
Why should I get one, anyway? To protect what I have now, in the event of a divorce? That's all good and swell, except for one thing - I don't have anything! All we have, we've bought together over the past year. The only thing of value would be my cello, but my father bought that for me way back in high school, and if worse comes to worse, the bill of sale is still in his name.
Morpheus, I like you and all, and I don't want to start anything, but I have to say this.
I'm starting something new, and I'm more excited about this than I've ever been about anything else in my life. I know how to make a marriage work, though I've never done it before. I've watched my parents carefully; they've been married for quarter of a century, and are still happy.
As for you, to put it eloquently, I'm starting to lose the taste for your humor in your anti-marriage posts. Simply because you couldn't handle your marriage doesn't mean that no one else can. Don't feed me any bull about you not being able to help it; that it just happened, and now you're a good guy stuck in a bad situation. Yes, you are a good guy, and yes, it is a bad situation, but you could have helped it. Just look at what your unofficial title is here on .net. All the newer members regard you as a god for your exquisite taste in porn. You're upset that you don't interest your wife anymore, causing a lack of sex, yet she hasn't interested you since your first porn thread.
Chocolate may be sweeter than chicken, but it will not nurture your body in the same way chicken will, and it will also ruin your appetite for chicken. Same with porn and marriage. Of course you can't have a successful marriage if you've spoiled yourself silly gawking at all those silicone-perfect models.
In conclusion, I will never take the advice of a sailor on how to sail, because I will never sail. Same way I will not take your advice, because I do not plan to walk down the same road you have. I, for one, plan to be faithful to my wife in body, but first and foremost, in mind. I believe this to be a primary step in creating a successful marriage, a step you have overlooked.
I'm not attempting to "call you out" or anything; I'm merely asking you to acknowledge that others may not make the same mistakes you have, and may actually end up happily married.
