Stay healthy, you two for as long as you can. Best wishes to you both! …you with the misnomer user name! 😉🙂 ---

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > I already had my “actual” bachelor party, but if anybody wants to let me stuff a virtual dollar in their virtual garter… You really mean it, don’t you. 😉 Just went back to the original thread - somehow I missed it at the time - and read the story and looked at the pictures. A couple of comments: She looks really sweet and “Sitcom pretty” - just think about all of those guys who are like 5s on Sitcoms with extra pretty wives. Ok, just kidding, you look like a pretty slick cat as well, but what in the hell are you doing out in December with just a shirt and a sports coat on? You must have been freezing. We Florida boys don’t typically deal that well with the cold and you don’t seem to have much natural insulation. Nice engagement story, how did you two meet? ---

Yeah, she’s way out of my league. I’m not, like, Jerry Seinfeld ugly, or anything, but still. [Here’s one of our engagement pictures](http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll268/dutchboy208/KimandNeilEngagement1.jpg). Believe it or not, we met at a frat party. I was playing a drinking game and singing a song that probably wasn’t appropriate in mixed company. While hammered. Her friend brought her along because she’d been stood up for a date earlier in the night, and the rest, as they say, is history. Complicated history, because that was in 2002, and we didn’t really become an item until 2006, mostly because I wasn’t smart enough to figure out when I’d been handed a good thing on a plate with watercress around it. ---

One piece of advice - when you get to the I do part - say I do, not ahhh, ummm, welll. It’s a good thing I have a sense of humour or Mr.Moon wouldn’t have made it past the wedding day. In all seriousness, the 10 minute break for the two of you between the ceremony and reception is a good idea. Congratulations and have a great day. ---

I have nothing of value to contribute 'cept my sincerest wishes for a wonderful life for you and your Mrs. You are one of my very favorite dopers and you’ll be missed whilst away on your honeymoon. Mazel Tov! ---

Awesome – congratulations! My only advice is not to drink too much at the reception. By all means, enjoy – but cut yourself off. You don’t want to be smashed when the grandkids watch the video. And hey – NYC Honeymooon Dopefest! ---

Thanks, everyone! I will definitely carve out 15 minutes for us to share a glass of champagne and a not-for-public-consumption kiss. The rehearsal is in four hours. I think I’m supposed to be nervous but I’m really not - so I’m starting to get nervous about not being nervous. :smack: ---

[Here’s one of our engagement pictures](http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll268/dutchboy208/KimandNeilEngagement1.jpg). You’re both adorable. You’ve always been one of my favorite posters and I wish you all the best of wedded bliss. Congratulations! (And heed **Hello Again** ’s advice. The wedding day will rush past you with dizzying speed, so take a moment, if you can, to just be together.) ---

Congratulations, **Bright** boy! I’ll be thinking of you while singing My Old Kentucky Home, for here in Kentucky the first Saturday in May is always Derby Day and everybody parties, gambles and drinks! 🙂 So anyway, have a lovely wedding/Derby Day and a fantastic life together with your lovely bride. ---

One of my groomsmen is a native Kentuckian and will have an earbud in during the reception, with my blessing. He’ll also have a flask of mint julep, but he doesn’t know that yet. 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-getting-married/537812.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-getting-married/537812.md?page=3)
