Bachelorhood (N) : Never making the same mistake once. Good luck enjoy buying the tandem.

Yep - it's a killer on the nerves beforehand, but you'll find once everything kicks off then it's plain sailing.
Hope it's a fantastic day.

Are we invited to your stag night?

Enjoy the day! Main difference you should find afterwards is that you no longer have a wedding to arrange so more free time to get out on the bike. If she tries to suggest that being your wife gives her any more right to your time than being your bird, you'll need to nip that in the bud quick smart.

Having kids is a different matter, that's when you'll kiss goodbye to your cycling time!

You'll be glad to know she's taking the wedding very seriously - I was in the supermarket and I heard her going over the running order for the service - isle, alter, hymn.

Are getting married in Leeds? If so, which church as my wife might be playing the organ for you?

Two things to remember:-

It is ALWAYS your fault.

Cycling = fitness; not cycling = heart attack.

Hopefully she doesn't want you to die and you will be free to cycle :P

When I first got married, there were 3 of us (Me, Him, The Bike). Had to put a stop to it living in the bedroom tho. Some things you just have to drawn the line at

Good luck for Saturday

She might not turn up.

You'll look a right fool then.

OMG and can you imagine if you loose the ring

Hope the weather is good, and you have a great day.

I avoided any smart comments...

zanelad

No need to brick it. It won't hurt anything, bar your wallet of course.

I hope you'll both be as happy in your marriage as my wife is ours.

Call her on Saturday morning and tell her that you arent felling very well. Im not married but it has always worked with with my Manager :twisted:

Mothyman

enjoy the day....its the best man who is bricking it.... take everything in...watch her as she walks up the isle...look at her dad's tear in his eye and chin strutting as he hands her over...look around the guests faces.... wink at the best man and tell him he's doing well...sweep your hair to the left then the right between photos (you've got to look at them for the next 'x' years).it will all be over in a flash...enjoy it mate

NFMC

Just don't get too drunk. The nerves and the fun kick in and I have absolutely no memory of my speech and I don't know how I got from the reception to the hotel (taxi, I found out since, even tyhough it was only 5 mins walk).

And as for performing once back in the hotel room. Forget it.

fungus_the_muffin_man

Wave good bye to BJ'S unless its your birthday and you've treated her to a great holiday for getting you a nice pressie.
Say hello to that look followed by "what do you mean is it ok if I go for a quck pint"
Get a much riding in as possible cos the patter of little feet will now be her number 1 mission now the wedding is over.


Hope you have the best day dude.

Congratulations in advance

dag_on_a_bike

Just think...there must be something in it.

Lots of people try it more than once. Indeed my father is on his third attempt. To think we're supposed to learn from our parents.

Must be overdue a change

Don't understand why anyone gets married these days. Most people can live together easier and without the pressure of an institution such as marriage. I am not a fan of marriage, and was with my last girlfriend over 18 years which is longer than some (or most come to that) marriages.

Waste of time and money imo.

Mothyman

i DO understand why people get married.....have a great time - and enjoy the honeymoon mate

Richard_D

Congratulations and Good luck at the weekend. I hope the weather stays good for you. Enjoy the day.
I hope your other half is like mine she encourages me to go cycling rather than stops me. A lot of the time we are out cycling together. Ce what te last cysling plus says about that.

I got married back home in NZ in March. It was a fantastic day. Weather was perfect, everything went to plan and we have some fantastic memories of the day and the honeymoon afterwards (India and the Maldives).

Enjoy the day, and take it all in. People say try not to get too drunk but given everyone wants to talk to you, you'll be putting your drink down and talking so much you won't be able to!

That being said, I did manage to, but that's because I'd saved a bottle port I was given by the NZ Army 15 years ago and decided that my wedding day was the perfect day to drink it. What my family didn't drink, I did! I wasn't letting it going to waste! It all went downhill after that ... whoops! :oops:

Seriously, don't panic, you're doing it for a reason and remember EVERYONE there is on your side so there's no need to worry or be nervous etc.

Good luck, don't stand on her dress during the dance!

2 days to go.............

We flew out to NZ and got married on Waiheke Island a couple of years ago. The best day of my life without a doubt and Im still as happy today!!

Nuggs

It will be the best day of your life. What is there to panic about? Even if things don't go 100% to plan, you'll still be married to the woman you love by the end of the day (except if they go really wrong).

Like Mothyman says, make sure you take it in as it's over in a flash.[/i]

Right, here's some earnest advice from one who's been there some time:

Sh@g like bunnies for a year or so

then buy one or more books by Allan and Barbara Pease (they save marriages from disaster with simple truths delivered humorously).

For example:

Why Men Want Sex and Women Need Love: Unravelling the Simple Truth: Understanding What He Wants and What She Wants from a Relationship.

Oh yes, and don't worry about breaking all the wedding presents; they are just things.

Best thing I ever did. Been married to the same woman since 1967 and it's done nothing but enhance my life.

She's tolerated my hobbies and passengered in trials sidecar outfits as well as racing dinghies. She's a great map reader and a keener cyclist than I am.

I hope you'll be very happy. You'll enjoy the tandem too - we do.
