My little sister is getting married on May 4th. Because "May the 4th be with you". They have little video game/nerd references throughout their wedding.

Holiday weekends for sure. That shit is fucking unacceptable.

Oh calm your tits everyone. Columbus day weekend isn't a real holiday weekend in terms of folks going out of town but when you work in a Government town it does actually translate to a lot of folks having that following monday off so it wasn't a big deal for a lot of folks. (10/11/10 was Columbus day).

And yes, I am that brand of crazy. We actually got engaged late 2008 but I didn't want to deal with planning something for fall 2009 so thats why fall 2010 (see further this was not this big life altering thing that I was madly rushing towards). Then I was like hey why the hell not 101010. Plus its easy for my husband to remember (to be honest though its really not for anniversary purposes. We do stuff on our anniversaries but its not the huge deal a lot of folks make it out to be - its actually just more convenient for him to be able to answer the questions at bullshit cocktail parties 'how long have you been married'? He couldn't tell you the month/year we bought the house if his life depended on it. Or the year we moved here. Or how old he is (you think I'm kidding, I'm not) - LOL)

I wasn't referring to your wedding in particular. I just think it's incredibly fucking selfish when a couple plans a wedding on a long weekend in the summer, especially up here in the Great White North. We have three decent long weekends a year in the summer here (July, August, and September. May long always fucking sucks, and if you're in the mountains, 50/50 it snows). Fuck you and your fucking wedding if you book it on one of those three weekends. I'll be doing something actually worthwhile with my time, thanks. And this is coming from someone who generally enjoys weddings.

Earlier, Onoes hit on something important: the big issues. What are some things you and a potential spouse must have an agreement on to get married?

- Kids: Are you going to have any? How many? If you can't conceive, would you adopt?
- Money: Can you reach a compromise on spending & budgeting? Are you comfortable with their career choice (or lack of it)? What is the plan when you have kids?
- Religion: Do the two of you share it? If not, is there a compromise that both of you are completely comfortable with? How will you handle religion with your kids?

There may be more as well I am not thinking of right off. These are the issues most likely to create a divide, lack a satisfactory compromise, etc. You and your partner are unlikely to change views on them as well. Make sure you have answers both parties are truly ok with before even considering marriage.

You'll never get as much as during the honeymoon period in any relationship - the time where you hump like bunnies 3x a day.

Never been to a wedding without booze. That shit would be unacceptable. One friend's wedding shut down the bar during the 2+ hours of speeches, and I could feel a riot brewing.

I've been to one, and there was no warning either. The couple drinks. They used her parent's religion as an excuse to cheap out. I still talk shit about it a decade later.

I know a teaching assistant at university that had to give up her goal of a PhD because she decided to have a family with her man and apparently schools don't like to hire profs older than in their 30s. Lame.

I don't know if that's the norm or not, but my father got hired at 45 after finishing his PhD. Maybe it just depends on the field...
*sorry haven't read past this quote so don't know if anyone spoke to this.

I cant believe you're even contemplating marrying that psycho. You have been warned. Just keep away from having kids.

Has anyone ever actually taken advice they've gotten from the internet?

I bought booze based on recommendations in the Liquor thread. Both recommendations I took turned out great.

Hence, Noodleface should do everything we tell him to.
