I hope we're all invited to the celebration. Can I slip a flask for myself and the olds?

I filled mine with Tullamore Dew on my brother's wedding.  I slipped very small ice cubes in to keep it cold.  I actually like it on the rocks.

[TeePee4Prez]

Wedding in 2010, mark my word.

If it happens, it probably won't be the worst thing in the world.  I just hope the ring comes out at a minimum in 4 months though.  My parents were 3 mos. btw.

I'm still thinking probably 2011, but we'll see.  For now, we're just enjoying each other's company and getting to know each other.

You'll know better than anyone on this Forum when the moment is right.  So far, I think you are doing well and your Bill Dauterive-esque persona is fading away.  Don't rush or be rushed into a ring again.  Another thing I could see with Tiffanye is she has a kid and in all honesty I think you were probably screwed from the start.  As of now her kid is her world and you have to really fit in there.  Susan's inexperience is a HUGE advantage for you.  HUGE.

[TeePee4Prez]

Plus, a side note, she loves Christmas just about as much as I do, so there will be two of us.   She also loves Easter as much, if not a bit more than Christmas.

More than Christmas? That's a dealbreaker.

Not really, I love Easter, too, so it's all good!!  As far as Christmas, it's likely we'll have our tree up from Halloween clear through Valentine's Day!!

Man, to keep that wood up that long must require a pill or something.

Man loves to focus on his Christmas.

[TeePee4Prez]

Have you talked about how many kids you will have?

We haven't gotten that far, yet.

EASY BOY!

[TeePee4Prez]

Maybe we can all pitch in for Mechaman to drive down and run a lifefeed of the event.  I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find in the local papers.

Only if there is alcohol and teenagers at this event.

Sorry, the only alcohol will be either white or pink champagne as the toast and maybe a Dr. Pepper-type punch

No Jameson and Miller Lite.  I'm not attending!   Think I may have to drive to OK and crash this thing on a side note.

Good riddance.
I hate piss beer.

Dude needs an open bar.  Hell, have a cash bar if he can't afford it.  I would never go to a wedding otherwise.

[TeePee4Prez]

punch servers.

Someone.. PLEASE!

[TeePee4Prez]

I can help arrange your honeymoon in Vegas if you want.  My wife will keep Susan occupied, while you and I will take care of a dozen hookers and a giant bag of blow.  You'll love it.

Can I take myself on a honeymoon to Vegas and take advantage of the offer?

No.  The planned activities are only for those who know how to have fun, like our buddy BushOklahoma.  You wouldn't like hookers, blow, booze and gambling anyway.

I wanna fly out and visit too!

[TeePee4Prez]

Get your mind out of the gutter!!!

Get your mind in it....... 

He needs to be sure to take out the stems and roll one.  You think he'd be better with a pipe as opposed to Ez-Widers?

[TeePee4Prez]

I will get laid by one more person the rest of my life and that not until our wedding night at the earliest.  When she becomes my wife, she'll be the next one, and last one, to lay me!!  The good thing with this woman, is there is absolutely no chance of having sex before we're married.  Heck, we may not even have a full fledged kiss until we lock lips in front of the church at the wedding ceremony.  Right now, we're kissing on the lips, but it's just a peck on the lips, not anything more than that.

lol

Why one "more" person, anyway?

He had an experience in Arkansas with his ex-fiancée.

Well, at least he won't be completely inexperienced!  Of course, I'd "test the goods" before coughing a diamond ring.

[TeePee4Prez]

Well, at least he won't be completely inexperienced!  Of course, I'd "test the goods" before coughing a diamond ring.

Dude, be honest.  You wouldn't give up a ring from a cracker jack box without demanding to test the goods. 

You're right.  Hell, I'd only cough up one night of dinner and drinks at the most.

We are set up to have a fun weekend.  This evening, we are going to down to church youth camp in southern Oklahoma for the evening to meet up with our youth that have been there since Monday.  We're leaving here around 2:30 this afternoon (2 hours from now) and then should be home by 1:30 tomorrow morning.  Saturday, my cousin may open her swimming pool and she has invited us to join her in the pool.  (My cousin's husband is in Washington State visiting his dad for Father's Day.)  Then, I am going with Susan to her church Sunday morning on Father's Day Sunday, like I went with her on Mother's Day Sunday.

Also, later this month on June 29, we are going to have a big meeting with both mothers, my father, my grandmother, and our matron of honor and best man and discuss the budget and everyone's responsibilities for the next 9 months.

Dude.. RELAX!

If this one runs.. oh, I wouldn't know what to tell ya.  I've NEVER seen a guy get this excited over a wedding.  Hell, I've never seen a woman plan this much and this far in advance.

In the 21st century, it takes a good year to plan a good wedding.  We're not doing major planning, yet, but we are getting the pieces in place so we're not stressed after the First of the Year.  I know I've shared this with you, but we've got another six weeks before we move into the next phase of our engagement.  There are basically four phases in our engagement.  The first phase is minor planning and continuing to get to know each other and that lasts from April-July.  The second phase is marriage counseling and more minor-moderate planning for the months of August-October.  The third phase is the moderate-heavy planning that goes November and December.  The final phase is the really heavy and intense planning and the homestretch from January 1 - April 8.  This, of course, is a customized phase list for our wedding and is different for every wedding.  We will, as stated above, be entering the marriage counselling phase at the beginning of August which starts six weeks from tomorrow.  That phase should be over by Halloween, but it could extend into the middle of November possibly.  One thing you need to know about me, and you probably already do, I am a planner of the first degree.  Heck, I'm starting to plan out Christmas 2010 already even though we're just now approaching the halfway point between Christmas 2009 and Christmas 2010 (June 25).  I've got my airline reservations made for my vacation with my parents to see my brother in Jacksonville, Florida Christmas weekend.  We are physically seeing more and more all the time as the weeks move along and are going on real dates at least once a month.  When we are married, I promised her we will have a weekly date night.  Back to the advance planning.  We are already starting to think about her 27th birthday in October 2011 and beyond that our first anniversary in April 2012.  Both will involve trips to southern Arizona.

I've also counted it up and I've got 197 more working days until my wedding vacation.

That is what I call overplanning.  Really.  Your job is to sit back, watch football, drink some beers and enjoy the poonanny after she finishes her "wedding planning" and episode of who knows what on Lifetime.  The man's job is to go with the flow.  Not "plan" on when to get to know each other, etc.  This could be why your past 2 walked dude.  You are not sounding like the man here.

I think that would be a plus since the women i know would much rather have their future husband involved in the planning. I know I would so it would be half the damn work.

Women also say the want "a nice guy".  We all know how that turns out.

it turns out great. if you are referring to women in their late 20's or later. teen generally want to the bad boys cant do much of anything in the way that a kind man can.

I'll admit it has gotten a lot easier for me past the age of 25.  Before that it was next to impossible for me to date ANYONE.  Not saying BushOK should be the "bad boy", but reading his posts are painful and I hate to admit it, he sounds very feminine with planning the wedding and sh**t.  He needs to just let things happen.  And be a man.  Drink a beer.  Watch a football game.  Push for sex. 

[TeePee4Prez]

Let me just say I love you, Flyers.

Right back at ya!  You have to be one of the best Republicans to ever post on here.  

Kinda miss Phil chewing me out on this.  Now I have Annie.  Note how this is never partisan.

if you are saying he is a pushover then maybe. but his planning is not bad. 'feminine' is not bad at all. funny how you have a standard on how men should act. can you get out of the serotypes for once?

Men should not be planning weddings.  We should only worry about the tux, paying for the thing (or how much it'll cost us), how not to get an STD during the bachelor party, and getting to the altar/justice of peace.

And again, I wish the best for BushOK and hate seeing him getting screwed around and his hopes up.  He is reminding me of a certain Cajun character from King of the Hill plus the fact he seems too hyper over this wedding.  This is not his role.   

[TeePee4Prez]

Flyers should really be barred from posting on any thread related to women whatsoever. 

Facist much?

[TeePee4Prez]

Annie, I'm sure if I've pursued a few of the women in my past, I could have been married now if I wanted to.  I'm just picky.  I'm not advertising myself as a Don Juan.  In fact I'm far from it.  I've been screwed over from by my fair share of women as well.   

[TeePee4Prez]

Annie must be a special case, because in my experience, the nice guy never gets the girl. Girls want guys who they feel can protect them and stand up to people who do them hard. That's all I want to say in this matter because I really don't want to read that whole argument.

i am not talking about about teen girls who think that they need to rebel against the world. I am talking about women who are in their mid 20's. I am not saying a pushover either. but a guy who doesn't get into bar fights etc and actually makes choices with his gf or whatever she is.

But Duke has a point.  Even women in their 30s kinda want someone to take charge, but they tend to see different things with age.  A nice guy CAN get a girl.  The problem are NEEDY guys.  Some guys can't differentiate.  And yes, women want masculine guys regardless of age.

i agree with 2/3rds if it. but masculine? some women want that. it depends on what you are though and how you were raised to thinking. some women like pansy's and some like the biker type. i know plenty of women who are into the pansy type.

"pansy" - "lesbo".......what's next - "homo" & "f****t"?

You know what they say.  "The only good ones are gay or taken."  Guess I"m screwed!

Bushie, do you avoid booze for religious reasons or for something else?

I've just never really been exposed to it before or was too young when I was.  I don't have any problems with drinking, so long as one doesn't get drunk.  Having a beer or a glass of wine on occasion is acceptable to me.  It's when people get drunk that I have a real problem with.

As long as they don't harm anyone....why not?

There are legitimate occasions to get drunk on, IMO

Wow, Bushie is going to have a "real problem"  with a lot of posters, myself first and foremost

If I had a problem with you guys, I would have quit the forum a long time ago.  I do have a problem with drunkenness, but I also know to let bygones be bygones.  I don't like to "sweat the small stuff".  As Franzl said, as long they're not harming anyone but themselves, I'm not going to say much.  I may roll my eyes, but that's about it.

You serving booze at your wedding?  If so you'll be dealing with a lot of drunks.  And if you don't people will think you're weird.  Just saying.

And of course I get really sh**tfaced at weddings.  Never have a date and always attempt to boom boom with the bridesmaids.  Or any other single girl for that matter.

There will be no alcoholic beverages at the wedding.  We had wanted to do a champagne toast, but the church doesn't allow alcohol on church grounds.  It is a very conservative church.  Instead, we're thinking of a white sparkling grape for our toast and possibly some champagne on the honeymoon.

Wait, u didn't get a hall outside the church?  Damn that sucks.  Think a lot of people will be brining flasks to the wedding. 

[TeePee4Prez]

I would think that nobody is "the boss" in a loving relationship.

Correct.  As the man, I am the head of the household and will generally have the final say, but she will have just as much authority as I will in the house, and I will never contradict her authority nor will she ever contradict my authority.  If we disagree on an issue, especially with our future children, we will never contradict each other in front of the kids and will discuss it later, in private.

lulz. 

He apparently hasn't met my parents.
