That is right folks. Three days ago, I married my beloved girl in a beautiful ceremony with our friends and family present at the church we met.

Because of this, I have not been on here in sometime but I am back, at least until the honeymoon.

Great for you! May it last untold years.

Congratulations. ^_^

I'm getting hitched in the spring next year.

NO wai! Congrats.

Congrats Kid. Best of luck an' all that.

I, personally, am quite a ways away from being ready for that sort of heady stuff.

Congratulations! May you have many happy years and whatnot.

And get a blog! :D

Congrats man.

God help your wife :p

Very many congratulations, I hope you have a lovely life together :)

My condolences.

Wait, why did I think this thread was about the death of something?

I'm confused.

Congratulations. Best of luck to you.

Congrats.

When I get pictures from the photographer, they shall be posted.

Question is, though, why are you here and not having sex there?

Whatever, best wishes from all of me.

Congrats my brother! :) May God bless your marriage infinitely. Remember Ephesians 5:22-33 and you should be in good shape. :)

Congratulations.

Congrats. :)

Congratulations, Corny! Enjoy your marriage. Take a ride in a carriage. ...um...some...other word that rhymes with marriage...

My condolences.

I can name two things that died..

Joking.

Congratulations!

Aww... hey congrats! :)

Thank you all for the congratulations.

Congrats.

Oh, and pretend I said something clever. I have no idea if some of the jokes I thought about were offensive or not, so I decided not to make them. >.>

I hope your either

A. Poor

or

B. Got a prenup

Good luck your going to need it.

So, not much faith in marriage, have you?

Less typing, and more boinking. When I got married, I wasn't heard from again for months! You know what I was doing? I was either boinking, eating to generate energy for more boinking or collapsed in exhaustion between boinkings.

STOP SAYING "BOINKING"!

You're talking about the sacred bonds of matrimony here, after which people usually do it like bunnies!

See? "Do it" is better than "boink"!

Which is why I told you to stop saying "boinking".

Start saying "doing it".

It's registered by me. >.>

...um...some...other word that rhymes with marriage...
Carnage. Yeah carnage... or rampage. Enjoy your marriage, go on a rampage, perpetrate some carnage.

Congratulations, by the way. ;)

Well lets put it this way, the odds are stacked against you. They say half of all marriages end in divorce, and you have to figure of the 50% that are left married, probably at least 25%-35% are miserable being married and just cant get divorced due to finances, religious beliefs, or unwillingness to destabilize children etc.

Sorry. I think I got em all out of my system for the time being.

Luckily, statistics mean nothing to the individual.

What about "playing rugby naked"?

That would redefine a scrum, wouldn't it?

Statistics mean everything. If you told me there was a 35% chance that my parachute wouldnt open, you couldnt get me to jump out of an airplane without a gun pointed at my head..
Yet if i tell you there is a 70% chance after getting married of experiencing: misery, divorce,cheating, feelings of entrappment, fights over visitation, religious conflict financial ruin and a ton of other things, wouldnt you be just as crazy to be willing to do that as jump with that faulty parachute?

Just remember: Scientific Progress Goes "Boink".

And congrats, Corneliu. Now go pay attention to your wife. :)

You wish the groom Congratulations and the bride Good Luck.

Seems obvious why. lol

Congratulations!!!!

Oooh, "pay attention to", nice one, real subtle! ;)

Audaces fortuna juvat.

Again: Brazilian, here. The closest word to "scrum" I know the meaning of has an extra "ot" in the middle.

And is strangely related to it too. Go figure.

I'm curious... where are you pulling these figures from? It reads to me that you're arguing that there's a 70% chance of it all going wrong and -- going purely on a gut feeling and a mental review of all the marriages I've encountered -- that seems a bit high. Some marriages fail, there's no disputing that, but I dispute that it's 70% of them.

Your parachute analogy is also badly flawed, unless you somehow believe that a failed marriage is fatal.

Congratulations, Corneliu2. Marriage isn't for everyone, but it works for a lot of people (including me). I hope you and your wife have a long and happy time of it :)

Congratulations

Now put down the internet and get to know* your new wife better.

* In the biblical sense of course

Duh! Because he's married now. Married people don't have sex. :p

Actually, about forty percent of first marriages end in divorce, the rate gets higher as the number of subsequent marriages increase. Amongst those first marriages, most of them end before the individual turns 25, and are usually the result of hasty or early marriages. You know the type I'm talking about. Folks who were either "forced" into it by an unwanted pregnancy or leap in headfirst without proper consideration of the consequences of their actions (i.e., people who have clearly not dated long enough to get past the "honeymoon" phase of the relationship) and people who get married at 18, not realizing that between then and 22, you change a whole heck of a lot.

I based the 70% WAG on..

70% might be a tad high but it doesnt seem to be out of the ballpark high.

And I am already 25 :D

As far as the unwillingness to destabilize children, given that the divorce rate for couples with children is not even statistically significantly different from the population overall, I daresay the "not split up because of kids" reasoning is not that big of a deal. Usually, the problem is money-related.

Well there are of course any number of reasons why unhappy people dont get divorced and i did mention finances as a factor.

congrats Corny, and to quote Goofballs:

Less typing, and more boinking.

Congrats...

And Corny, do you feel the noose tightening around your neck? Looking forward to family obligations when all you want to do is sit on the chesterfield and just relax? The years of putting up with people you don't give a rat's ass about all because you love your wife...?

Congrats. Now get off NSG, and go pay some attention to your wife! :D

Congrats!

Nothin' else to say really, most of the others summed up what you should really be doing right now, so I don't have to.

Well, congrats Corneliu, I have seen he countdown on your sig slowly going down, great work she is a catch and I hope that you may live in love until your last breath.

I think he means you should be bumping ug... er, boin... er, fu... er, making love.

Congratulations Corny!

I see your bride truly is the better half.

Congrats!

Three things that have helped me immensely:

During a fight always ask yourself "do you want to be right, or do you want to be married?" ......most of the time you will want to be married, in the off chance you want to be right, it's probably an important subject.

Your first fight will be the fight you will have for the rest of your marriage, so pick it well.

Never EVER EVER bring your parents into a fight, and if she's having problems with your family, it's your job to smooth it. She doesn't need to fight with your mother and likewise you shouldn't ever have to fight with hers.

Good luck! The first 2 years are the hardest, remember that and push through.

Hey many congrates to ya!

Congratulations on your 4,850th post!





What are the rest of you guys talking about?

How's the sex?

In b4 "Pics or the honeymoon didn't happen" :p

But yeah, congratulations.

Congratulations !

Best wishes for long health and happiness together.

Just don't go forgetting what's really important in your life. NSG. Don't let that wife of yours come between you and General. :tongue:

Congrats Corne!

The only advice I shall give. It's ok to fight and be pissed off at each other.

I know as my wife is Sicilian! :D

Congrats my brother! :) May God bless your marriage infinitely. Remember Ephesians 5:22-33 and you should be in good shape. :)

Is that the one that says, "maketh love with thy mouth, and speak with thy hands, as it is done in France"?

Congrats, Corny...I had no idea someone out there could be as crazy as you;)

Just don't go forgetting what's really important in your life. NSG. Don't let that wife of yours come between you and General. :tongue:

This is why my wedding is going to be webcast for NSG :D

Congrats!

Oh, you're talking about the orgy... My bad :)

@OP
Congrats mate, hope yours lasts longer than my several failed attempts :)

Cheerio!

Oh Christ.

You're not planning on breeding are you?

.Nice one mate.:D

Since I still appreciate you,
Let's find love while we may.
Because I know I'll hate you
When you are old and grey.

So say you love me here and now,
I'll make the most of that.
Say you love and trust me,
For I know you'll disgust me
When you're old and getting fat.

An awful debility,
A lessened utility,
A loss of mobility
Is a strong possibility.
In all probability
I'll lose my virility
And you your fertility
And desirability.
And this liability
Of total sterility
Will lead to hostility
And a sense of futility.
So let's act with agility
While we still have facility,
For we'll soon reach senility
And lose the ability.

Your teeth will start to go, dear,
Your waist will start to spread.
In twenty years or so, dear,
I'll wish that you were dead.

I'll never love you then at all
The way I do today.
So please remember,
When I leave in December,
I told you so in May.

I know it is somewhat optimistic (twenty years?), but I am a romantic type. If I ever get married, I shall certainly have it played at my wedding.

Congrats, Cornelius!

You've taken a step I would never take in a million years.:tongue:

My condolences Cornelius. I'll drink one for you...

Congradulations Corneli, good luck, and a happy honeymoon! Plus, a long marriage that lasts even when both of you are in heaven.

Well aren't you just a bright ray of sunshine?

Anyway, congrats on the marriage. And remember of course,

"I will remember always that marriage, like life, is a journey - not a destination - and that its treasures are found not just at the end but all along the way."

Pretty much the only remembered quote from that obscene poet, Ιππώναξ .

Congrats Corny. Treat her right and let her win the arguments

"Yes dear, You are so right!"


She probably will be anyway :P

....hahaha

I'm sorry to hear that, Corneliu. Godspeed, and make sure you keep NSG -- your true love -- in your heart always.

And good luck, now that you're a slave. ;)
