A-men to that bro ..

glad we got that clear

Its ok your still tops in my book

Awww.... can you feel the love???

So my thread hasn't been visited in a few days so i thought I'd post something.

The countdown to my big day has really started to gather momentum... im down to the teens (Oh I know thats gonna get misconstrued) when counting in days. I have started writing my speech for the big day, and i have also started to pen a little letter to give to bondigirl's sister to pass to bondigirl on the morning of our wedding day (we are traditional in the way that we will not see each other before the wedding).

I think I and we have most bases covered so i am really just looking forward to the day now.

Starting towards the latter parts of next week my visits here may be somewhat limited as I will be busier than a bikini waxer in greece with all the pre wedding preparations. Then, after March 10th Bondi will be missing from the airwaves for the best part of 5-6 weeks.

anyway, enough rambling...

peace

SIr , we may not agree on anything , but I truely hope all goes well for you and you have the dream wedding that your hoping for and a long happy life together , i wish you nothing but happiness and joy in the coming years with Bondigirl , Ive been married for 18 blessed years and wouldnt change it for the world , everyday is a different adventure , have fun , and best of luck ..

We weren´t that traditional when we got married but first time I actually talked to my dear hubbie properly on our wedding day was in the hotel after everything We were sooo busy! It was a happyhappy day, almost everyone were there (my two best friends weren´t there, boo to them!) and everything went so well! Ha, and I think I can still fit my wedding dress ok, it´s only 3,5 years so I should, really!

And I hope you had a wonderful wedding day and everything will go like you two hope and have fun while in Europe (please take some warm clothes, it´s cold in here...)

wow, time flies!
It seems like you just announced you were engaged!
I didn't care for the whole wedding thing. It was good and all, but I'd rather be in the wedding party or and emcee or something, I don't like all the attention of being in the spotlight. I just like being around the spotlight haha.
But it seems like you have everything planned out well and it sounds like it will be a blast. Especially the European vacation after.
Cheers!

Wow 5-6 weeks without bondi??? RMM will so much extra bandwidth it could lease some out for that time period and make lots of money.

I never did read what song you picked for you first dance... or maybe I did read it and just don't remember.

The note idea is great. I did that for my wife... though, I gave it to my best man to deliver to her when we were all in our separate rooms at the church. I also sent him with a bracelet that I had engraved with our wedding date, which she actually wore that day. It is my plan to engrave future milestone dates on the bracelet, like kids' birthdays and things like that. It was perfect because it was a nice yet not too expensive bracelet that was casual, yet could be dressy, and it had a little heart-shaped charm on it that I could engrave on.

for your speech, if it's addressed mainly to your new bride, you may want to print it on nice paper or parchment and frame it so you can present it to her when you are finished.

I'm sure we'll talk a bit more as the date approaches, but let me tell you something that I wish I had realized a little sooner, but I eventually did realize and it helped a lot. JUST RELAX. the day before the wedding I was so freaking crabby cuz I had so much to do to feel ready. Trust me, it will work out. Just get your shit done and take lots of deep breaths. You don't have to revise your speech for the 500th time, you don't have to double-check your note for her again, you can have friends help you run errands. The days before your wedding are so exciting, make sure you take the time to enjoy them.

Most of all, enjoy your day! when your big day finally gets here, there's nothing else you can do or control (and make sure you tell your bride that too). So just sit back and enjoy the party you have planned.

and one last thing then I'll finally shut the hell up. Something I'll never forget about our wedding day. My mom called late in the night after we were already in our hotel room. I was debating not answering it cuz we were exhausted... but I did answer it. I put my phone on speaker and my mom was just talking about the whole night. Bringing up and reminiscing about things about the whole day, things she noticed, things her friends and family noticed, things that made her smile, compliments she heard, and lots of things we may have missed because we were the center of attention the whole night. Talking to her really was a great way to cap off the night; it really helped us realize that all our hard work paid off. My wife and I still talk about that phone call. I guess what I'm trying to say is, when my mom calls, make sure you answer your phone. Really, though. Make sure you take the time to think back and reflect on the night after things calm down a bit. it was a great way to help the memories last.

Okay. I'm done now. Hope everything goes according to plan.

damn, you should be a wedding planner!

most people end up getting so blitzed you could deliver your speech in Latin and they wouldn't know the difference.

Nah. I actually just copied and pasted all that from a wedding planning website.

you've got one hell of a point there.

I will have a blast in Europe im sure, and we will be packing the winter clothes thats for damn sure!



I dont mind being in the spotlight and the wedding is really for the bride, but I know I will enjoy the day just as much as she does. It has come around quick though thats for sure. There is still 2 weeks to go but once next week is over I may not get on much at all... thanks mate



The bracelet is a great idea, I may just steal that idea too! Thanks for your advice and warm wishes though, it does mean alot!

can you imagine how many fewer posts there will be? Especially if there are days where yourself and Gnappy are absent???

Yes there is a god !!!!!!

It could run the entire SETI@home project itself


careful what you wish for.


When you have to give your speech, just imagine everyone is in their underwear.

always careful besides its my wish ..

The image you put up is just a red X for some reason, but I bet I know the exact framegrab you're thinking of.



Too funny. I was just reading about that the other day.


So true.


Here's a link to the bracelet I got her. I then had a different and more reliable jeweler engrave it for me so it would be just right.

I opted for the charm that did not have the tiffany logo crap on there.

sweet bracelet

Stupid hotlinking
I'll post it at the end of this.



I didn't think anyone would get that. I guess there ARE other nerds out there.


You mean the guy selling them out of the back of his Buick didn't seem reliable?

beatiful!!

Exactly. People can complain about our post counts etc but without constant activity on the boards the place would be a rather drab place to visit

Spotted

Bob.... sweet bracelet. Tiffany huh??? I'm going shopping tomorrow or the next day to have a look for something myself

I just went and looked at and I believe I may steal your idea as well, or something along those lines. It's our 5th Anniversary this Sept. and I need something good like that.
If I can't steal ideas from friends, what good are they

oops forgot to post this non working hotlink pic, not that it matter anymore.

Attached image(s)

Bob's idea I guess you mean???

I hope like me, you will pass it off as your own idea

I thought it was going to be that one

but of course!

Liar!


In the wise words of Milhouse: I'm not a nerd. Nerds are smart.

Thanks. Only the best for my little lady

It was tiffany, but that bracelet was from their silver line. you actually have to go to the back room of the store to get to the cheap-ass section. It's almost an embarrassment to walk past the good stuff and go there.

But even still, for silver, it's pretty F-ing expensive.

Thatta boy

Or like when you have to go thru the little curtains to get to the XXX section of the video store. Actually, it's nothing like that, but embarassing nonetheless.

I never knew Milhouse said that but it's damned funny!
