Congratulations Bricker! As a fellow doper in the same situation (I’m getting married in August), let me give you some advice. When your fiancée starts talking about wedding planning, you should respond “I trust your judgment and am perfectly content to leave you in charge of everything.” The end result will be the same as if you decided to contribute your opinions on the ceremony/reception, and you’ll spare yourself a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth. ---

Congratulations! [teasing]Are you sending all the dopers individual invitations, or just posing the details on the board? Have you had the future Mrs. Bricker read the board yet to see what she’s getting into? And does she know any possible children will get nicknames related to building materials?[/teasing] Good luck to the you and the future Mrs. Bricker! ---
