Tomorrow. At Hard Rock Hotel Punta Cana.

I've met a dozen or so of the forum members, and around half have also met my bride.

I will accept all good wishes from my friends here on WoV.

I think I'm a pretty good guy, but I feel like the luckiest guy on the planet to have found such a bright, beautiful, sexy, strong, and caring woman to share the rest of my life with.

You are welcome. There are a bunch of members we thought about inviting, but since the likelihood of anyone coming was so small I perceived sending the invitation would have been like asking for a gift. I'm not sure if I did the right thing. But I meant well.

Hmmm.... 4/20/69. I think I might recall that date -- I was a draftee going through army basic training!

Oh! You meant in a different century!

Anyway SOOPOO, congratulations from my wife and me, too.

There are threads wherein it would be appropriate to make negative comments about the institution of marriage but that does not make it appropriate to make such comments about a specific member's marriage.

Yup. The whole point of a bachelor party

Every one I've been to years ago
played pranks on the groom and
made bad marriage jokes at his
expense.

The best one was a couple of us
would hold him and they would
de-pants him and pour blue body
ink on his junk so he would be
embarrassed on his wedding night.

What do they do now, where party
hats act like girls?

Every bachelor party I’ve been to we’ve done the “pants the groom, paint his junk blue” prank. Don’t worry Bob, it’s everyone else who’s weird. They’re just not party animals like we are.

We were having a bachelor party years back when the groom passed out on his bar stool. Being young ,drunk and stupid, we duct taped him to the stool, put him on a hand truck and crossed the street to the Long Island Railroad station where we walked him onto a train and left him there. We went back to the bar and were having another great time until about two hours later when three Railroad Police walk in, accompanied by a half dozen Nassau County cops. For some reason, they didn't see the hilarity of the situation and said it could easily be construed as kidnapping. They took all our statements, copied our id and said detectives would follow up. A few days later, we all had a good laugh about it at the wedding. Never did hear from any detective.

It was in fact huge fun. It was the 70's
and the point of a bachelor party
was to let the groom have one last
bash on his last night of freedom.
We looked at marriage as a ball
and chain. A guy got married because
she was preggo, he was pussy whipped,
or he was insane. Usually it was because
she was screwing his socks off, he was
23 and thought it would last forever,
and we couldn't talk him out of it.

Do people get married now because
they think it will make them happy?
The only good reason to marry is because
you think you'll have a better way of
life with the person, a notch or two
up from where you are now. Love and
sex should have nothing to do with it,
you can find that anywhere,

It’s just an excuse for the guys with kids to get away for a weekend.

It’s also an excuse to relax and have fun.

I am currently married for the second time and I love being married. The time between my two marriages I was miserable. I need to be married to be happy. Hopefully I won't have to make that decision again.

Yeah, it's totally different now. Not.

42-45% percent of first marriages end in divorce.
60% of second marriages end in divorce.
73% of third marriages end in divorce.

That stat hasn't really changed in a long
time, the average is over 50% of marriages
end in divorce. 70% of divorces are
initiated by women.

Men in record numbers are never getting
married at all. And here's a stat I didn't
know. 62% of divorced men get remarried,
but only 52% of divorced women do.
