1. Elope. Save yourself the trouble and frustration, the money and the time. Elope. For the love of God, just elope.

2. Print out a memo. Make sure to include all of the details. That way, every five minutes, when a co-worker drops in to start the same fu[/b]cking mindless "So, how many more days" banter, you can hand him the memo and tell him to go f[b]uck himself.

3. Find out what is important and do those things. If she just wants some nice pictures and white teeth, by God, get those things and forget about making sure that every table has the exact same number of mints.

4. Stop being intimate. The last 4-6 weeks should be spent alone, reminding you daily of why you can't live without her.

5. Delegate. Delegate delegate delegate.

Breathe Neph. Youve only got a couple more days. Deep breath in, deep breath out. When that coworker walks by you are more than granted permission from all of us who have been there, to make an example of her for others. It might let the others know now is probably not the time to bother you.

I think anyone who went through big weddings felt the same way the last week. Lord knows I did

I'm trying not to kill everyone.

The worst part is the family. Her dad's family has no ******* tact whatsoever.

Fu[/b]ck all, her dad is a worthless piece of sh[b]it in my book. The few things we asked him to do, those he begged to do, still aren't done. But he wants to make sure that he still gets the "Father-daughter" dance before I get to dance with her.

Her best freakin friend, was going to sing at the wedding. She wanted to. But because we didn't find the sheet music for the song she has sung half-a-jillion times before, she isn't going to. Never mind that she never even went to look herself and didn't let us know this until umm...Monday. We asked her 3 months ago.

We were going to, but decided we wanted Wedding pictures too much so we decided to go with a smaller wedding of about 60-70 people.

My Fiancee has been great she did most of the planning. I have only had to book the hotel room, order the alcohol for the reception and pick out my Tux. Other than those things I have only helped her decide on a few important things.

It will be 12 weeks once we get married. We decided that we wanted to do this to make the night at the hotel room alot more special than the 50+ other times we have spent nights at hotels together already. I am guessing no one will believe me, but that was actually my idea.

I just plan to show up. I am letting her handle all of that stuff. It is her day and I just want it to be exactly as she has planned.

Sounds like your bride to be needs new people.

Seriously though... you get the first dance. It is your day and her day... the family, even the fathers, are just there to watch. I wish I cold provide some advice on this, all I've got is the strongest invective possible not to give up the first dance.

That shouldn't even be an issue. I hope you guys won't be living anywhere near these in-laws.

I love my in-laws and am blessed to feel that way.

I still don't live near them.

Is this a time to use the phrase "an cu[u][/u]nt"? Please excuse me if it is not, I am teh newb.

Does anyone else remember seeing some sort of cloning thing where all the subsequent clones get more and more dumb?

I think this is how it is. Especially since the late proofeleven actually got rated up once or twice before his eminent demise.

I almost think he's making reference to the question of abstinence but he didn't make that obvious enough for it to be considered a part of the conversation.

If thats what he was thinking, then I feel dumber for understanding proof...

Since when does the father daughter dance preced your first dance together as a couple?? In our wedding my hubby and I entered the room together after the wedding party entered, and we danced the first dance before even sitting down, thus opening the dance floor to all. I thought it was always like this?

Fu[b][/b]ck her dad. Tell your DJ or band to play your song the moment the entrance song is done and get your butt on the floor.

Hee hee. My husband and I eloped 2 months before the wedding. We were supposed to just go in and get our wedding license and I asked the clerk how much it would be to get married right then and there. It was an extra $50. So I asked him if he wanted to. Never saw such a deer caught in the headlights look like that. But he said sure and so we did. We did still have our wedding, but only a few people knew we already eloped. And we stopped stressing about the wedding details after we eloped. Almost 9 years later, I have not told my parents we eloped.

I wanted to do it because the wedding plans by that point became a thing for the family and everyone was voicing their opinion. I wanted something that was just US.

AND TO MAKE SURE THAT HE HAD NO OPTION OF LEAVING ME AT THE ALTAR ON THE WEDDING DAY.

Does your bride to be like her father?

We had a small surprise wedding (told my mom on the way to the church) and it worked out perfectly. Until of course we had to hear all of the ******** from everyone that didn't get invited.

It is your special day with your wife, **** them who are to insensitive to remember that.

Do you ever regret just getting married like that? Eloping down in a nice place seems like something I want to do. Large crowds make me very nervous. Even if they are all friends and family.
