Getting married this wknd...your best piece of advice?

Alpine · 09-03-2010, 12:51 AM

My only piece of legit advice for the actual wedding night is to make sure you get something to eat at your reception! You'll be so busy seeing everyone and being involved in the usual wedding stuff that eating won't even cross your mind. It's when you finally go to your hotel room that you realize your stomach is about to eat itself.
...And by that time, it's already too late if you know what I mean!

This really works both ways. We operate off of one, and I know others that do. It depends on your situation. We each have our own debit accounts for emergencies but we draw from the same main brokerage account.

Lol good stuff here..just got in last night and Bach party tonight in the atl

gonna try to not get too wasted bc gotta be up early tomr for a religious ceremony thing. Separate bank accounts for sure..my sis got burned years ago when she was too young/stupid. Was gonna get a prenup but our assets are pretty equal at this point and we're building a house together going in splitting every expense in half. Closing is the day after I get back..a lot of stuff going on and I'm hoping the stress doesn't wreck me.

Planning this has been a nightmare, I've developed a hatred of all things Atlanta bc of all the shit that's gone wrong so far. Wish me luck guys, appreciate all the comments it helps ease the amount of stress I'm experiencing right now

As far as "bank" accounts go, we've got 3. A joint acct where mortgage/bills, etc. come from and then we both have a "fun" account.

When we get paid, we give ourselves an "allowance" from our paychecks that is automatically deposited into our personal accounts. The balance is then put into the joint acct.

It works really well for us because we have fun money that we can spend however we want, no questions asked (that was part of the deal).

Marriage is really awesome IMO. Good luck with everything...

Have the absolute time of your life this weekend prior. Soon, all you'll be able to do is bark at the end of your chain.

infinitekidM2C · 09-03-2010, 06:07 PM

treytreyfeva · 09-03-2010, 06:18 PM

Prenup!

and anal.

JCtx · 09-03-2010, 08:25 PM

Make sure marriage is working out before having any kids. This is not only good advice for your wallet, but most parents nowadays only think about themselves and not the kids. Good luck man.

doc1911 · 09-03-2010, 09:40 PM

Just remember that you are just a really, really important guest. It is her night.

graider · 09-04-2010, 03:13 AM

sh1t, i come to this thread too late. sorry, you are done bro.

SteveMD · 09-04-2010, 04:43 PM

20 years in - first and only marriage.

Don't do separate bank accounts. If one of you is wealthy and the other isn't then do a pre nup. If you can't stomach having a joint account, then don't get married. You have to get out of the mindset that this is your money and this is mine. You won't last long with that outlook..

Have a separate fun account each and put some in there every now and again so that you can surprise each other with Birthday, Christmas, Anniversary or just 'no reason' gifts.

Get it all out of your system befroe you get married. If you're not comfortable in the realization that this is the only T&A you're ever going to get for the rest of your life, don't do it.

If she is high maintenance or already on your case about leaving your underwear on the floor, it's only going to get worse - you need to accept each other for what you are. If either of you think that you can change the other - don't do it. It won't work.
