Congrats. Here's my advice. Always say "yes dear", even when you don't want to.

Congrats - like many, I didn't know what happiness was until I got married - of course it was too late then. I have been married for 44 years and have found that the first 44 are the hardest.
Best to you both.

I'll second that, but add to it. With all of the loot that you should be getting as wedding gifts, get the compressor that you want and get the welder that you want. Make sure that you get them as one of the first things you buy or you are going to have a LONG, LONG wait!

Congrats!

Maybe for the wedding gift registery, you can select a compressor and a welder?

Well, it hasn't been 44 years.... but it sure SEEMS LIKE IT!!
Seriously though..there is good and bad in marriage. It just depends on how hard you BOTH are willing to work together to make it work. Good luck and..um...ok, I'll say it...congrats!

Congrats, Aside from Yes Dear. When you are about to do something, ask yourself what you would think if she did the same thing you are about to do. If you are the least bit uncomfortable with that question then don't do it. She will react more strongly than you.
