Final countdown to zero hour

GoldenRivet · 12-12-14, 02:44 AM

Gentlemen, ladies, distinguished lurkers, lunkers and aces of the deep.

For many months, plans have been set into place, personnel mobilized; fortunes, sweat, toil and tears invested... And at long last, the hour is upon us.

Saturday, December the 13th 2014... By the time the sun fades on the western horizon of Texas, your Goldenrivet will be entered into matrimony with a lovely, elegant, classical beauty of a woman many hundreds of fathoms out of his league. My love for her... I cannot measure, and despite a pitiful mess like me failing to deserve it... Her love, in return, I receive as a gift every day.

With each passing hour a curious combination of feelings engulf me. I have the growing desire to both vomit, and laugh with delight. I fear I may do both.

Wish me luck brethren!

Great new GR, all the best for your future together.

PS - still time to run!

May the Schwarz be with you.

Eichhörnchen · 12-12-14, 03:18 AM

Warmest wishes to you both for a happy life together, GR...

Pics or it didn't happen!

And sincere congrats all 'round-a brilliant decision actually on your part; no luck to it...married men actually live longer!

The art form is to make it all seem like her idea

Congratulations GR!

A couple of things to remember:

1. No man is complete until he is married; after that he is finished

2. When you say "I do", cherish the moment; it is likely to be the last independent decision you make on your own

Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials and a long and happy life to the both of you...
