From: "Jon Gabriel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Hi, Jon! Glad to hear from you. I'm very, very happy you had a nice wedding and that you're able to look back on it with so much fondness and joy. It seems to me you had a lot of support, because weddings are not a one-couple-show. The success of a wedding lies in the synchronized efforts of a group of people who love and care about each other, and most important, about the couple getting married.

YAY!!!! Congratulations!!!
I'm gonna be annoying and pass on a set of totally unsolicited advice that helped me get through my wedding. Feel free to put it in the circular file if you like. :)
4) Remember that it's your day. Enjoy yourself. Be happy. Have fun! :)
Anybody else have anything they can add?
:-)
Jon
I am compelled to add some comments to this thread. If I have to be perfectly honest, I have to say for the record that my wedding wasn't fun at all.
Don't get me wrong! My ex-wife (yep, you read right; sorry, but true) was a major planner for these type of events. We thought we had everything down to the last minute. But between the preparations, the invitations, the unhappy-in-laws-because-u-didn't-invite-so-and-so, finding the right place to live, getting the furniture and the food to the right place to live, the rehearsals, the sleepless nights wondering how it's going to be and all the way up to YES, the PHOTOGRAPHER who tries to run the show, I have to say I didn't have fun. I would've liked to sit down, kick back my heels, and mingle with my friends and family.
But for me, it was STRESS CENTRAL.
So, yes, it feels great to see that someone knows how to have fun at a wedding. Your experience does give me light at the end of the tunnel. Who knows! Maybe someday I'll have the wedding I always dreamed about... in a little gazebo in the country, or at the local Ritz-Carlton in front of the beach... with just a handful of guests. But above all: with the right partner.
Then again, one can always dream, right? ;-)
May God (or your favorite deity) bless you, Jon. May your marriage remain forever happy. Be strong, dude. All I can say is, it gets bumpy from here. But judging by the amount of happily married people in this wonderful list, I'm sure it's worth fighting for.
