The Big Day

Congratulations!!

I will be married 6 years on Halloween of this year and our first child was born just a week and a half ago.

My grandmother-in-law gave us a small plaque that has a saying on it that I repeat to myself everyday....

" Marriage is not as much about finding the right person as it is about being the right person."

Marrying my wife was the best decision I have ever made. We had one year (started right before our second anniversary) that tested our relationship to the max, up to and including signing divorce papers only to realize our mistake two weeks later. That year now serves as the bedrock that our relationship is based on. The roughest times can help to forge your relationship into something stronger than each of you could ever be individually.

As an added bonus, I was able to convert her from her evil way of the blue and orange (UF, not AllBarn) to the pure, righteous path of the crimson and white.

Tips for a Happy Marriage:

1.Two times a week, we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage,
then comes the good food and companionship. She goes onTuesdays, I go on Fridays.

2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in Atlanta and mine is in Memphis.

3. I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.

4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary. "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said. So I suggested the kitchen.

5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.

6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster, and electric bread maker. Then she said, "There are too many gadgets, and no place to sit down!" So I bought her an electric chair.

7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was, she told me, "In the Lake."

8. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.

9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, "Am I too late for the garbage?"
The driver said, "No, jump in!"

10. Remember... Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.

11. Statistically, 100% of all divorces start with marriage.

12. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was Always.

13. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her.

14. The last fight was my fault. My wife asked, "What's on the TV?" I said, "Dust!"


Seriously, at the wedding - don't blink. The ceremony and reception will be over before you open your eyes again. My wedding now seems like a blur. But the last 8 years have been the best of my life!

I've been married for 20 years and can tell you that Jeff Foxworthy is exactly correct...

The number 1 rule to a successful marriage is for you to learn as fast as humanly possible that.....

"IF SHE AIN'T HAPPY, YOU AIN'T HAPPY!"

Good luck and don't forget that your wedding day has NOTHING to do with you...it's all about your bride! This is her day and your job is simply to NOT screw it up!

I agree with Alanbama27 and Jeff Foxworthy. If she ain't happy, you ain't happy. That is the truth. I have a saying, "It is my wife's world. I just live in it." You have to give more to the marriage than you take out of it. But the bottom line is you have to make her happy as much as possible.

Congratulations and best of luck.
