Congrats! Have fun 😁

I hope you haven't booked any "family friendly" spots for your honeymoon? The first half od my honeymoon was at a very exclusive place which was super romantic... Then the second half was at a "family friendly" resort... Kids ran everywhere, everything was tacky and expensive and the restaurants were always full and noisy... So non-romantic.

Don't exhaust yourself talking to everyone on your wedding day. Target the important people and people who have come from far away. Even better to see the latter in the days before your wedding if you have time.

After you're married, make her believe she is loved and beautiful in your sight every day, even if you're not feeling it. That will encourage her to be more loveable and beautiful in your sight.

Good luck and congratulations 💐🎉

This made my fiancé cry. In a good way thank you for the advice!

Congratulations!!! Been with mine for 26 years. Best advice I have is don’t go to bed angry- no matter how late, talk/listen the conflict until it’s over. Prioritize that over whatever needs to happen the next day. You can make up for lost sleep later.

Best advice…. Stay Humble and Stack Sats.

But for real, make sure that you cherish these moments. Life comes at you fast and it is easy to not soak in these good times. Once your family grows (hopefully as kids are so wonderful) you will realize how fleeting this time with just the tow of you is.

Best of luck with the nuptials and enjoy this special time.

From the heart. Thank you!

Give 60% and expect 40%. If both people in a relationship are doing that then things end up about at 50/50, except with the benefit that neither of you feel like you had to compromise to get there because what you’re getting is exceeding your expectations.

You two, are simply amazing

Pretty much what everyone else has said, talk about the things that are on your mind and keep small things small. Don't believe the shiny happy people that tell you they never argue. Do things together, have fun, and remember you're friends. Congratulations and Best Wishes!!

Simply put. Thank you for sharing your perspective!

Make sure you never forget that this person is your best buddy, because when you're old and ugly, can't see, can't hear, can't go two hours without having to pee, and can't remember what you did five minutes ago...your sorry ass is gonna need a friend.

Congrats, have fun, and be alone with each other. You only get to do this once.

That came from the heart. And beautiful, thanks comrade!

Speaking from experience. Although nostr:npub1hgvtv4zn2l8l3ef34n87r4sf5s00xq3lhgr3mvwt7kn8gjxpjprqc89jnv is going to be easier to take care of than I will be. 😂

Thanks for the zap!

Don't go to England

Why not? Still salty?

It's just cold and miserable, and full of statists

Communicate. The good and the bad.

Who you are marrying today will not be the same person many years from now, which brings new meaning to the word "them", as your partner will be many people through your time with them. No one grows together at the same speed nor in the same way. Love them through their change, giving them loving safe space to heal their past wounds, and loving safe space so they explore their dreams and opportunities. Eventually you or your partner will leave you, by choice or not. If you remember that daily, you have a better chance in loving them fully, in the present, for although we pass through time slowly, time passes through us quickly. Imagine how unbelievably miraculous it is that you are breathing right now, from the big bang, to a fully conscious being... now add the fact that you found the love of your life, and it becomes and infinite probability. Cherish that understanding, no matter what they do... the capacity to love someone else is only bound to capacity you have to love yourself.

Great advice comrade. This is a humbling reminder and great advice

If you just leave a mess in the kitchen the dishes fairy will come out and clean it up. You just have to pretend the mess isn't there for long enough. Isn't that neat!

This. This is what I look forward to. The clean fairies.

Invest in a quality mattress for a good night’s sleep. The sooner, the better.

Don't get divorced.

It's a permanent solution to temporary problems.

Dayum comrade.

Ya’ll will find ur own path…l like to say she who will be obeyed (that’s my wife) has had 36 years to learn to live with disappointment…laugh with each other…laugh at each other (it’s important cuz y’all (mostly u) will do some embarrassingly stupid sh*t)… laughter is a great salve for a relationship…it’ll keep yall young….always fight fair and remember u can’t unsay things that have been said but still learn to say ur sorry with no “but” in the sentence

And when u screw the above up…and u will…remember that she who will be obeyed (that’s my wife in case u forgot) is still the love of my life even after subjecting her to 36 years of disappointment 😉

Incredibly thoughtful response. I appreciate you sharing and will rename my fiancé, to “she who shall be obeyed”. Hah

Also your lightning wallet sent my zap back

☹️…well if that’s the worst thing that happens to me this week it’s gonna be a great week😉

Congrats and good luck to u and ur lucky lady

Advice: if you're getting married in 6 days, then change your nostr screen name to be something other than "Gulag Bound" :-)

Are you telling me to comply?

heh heh, just fooling around :-)

Lower your expectations. Or, better yet, don't have any. Generally works out for the better and leads to pleasant surprises.

“Expectations are pre mediated resentments” thank you comrade

Each have your own friends. While two become one, you’ll still need some time for yourself.

To paraphrase Mark Twain, always tell her the truth. That way you don’t have to remember anything. Seriously good luck - if you’ve both chosen well your journey through life will be that much sweeter.

Make a point to pause and enjoy individual moments, here and there.

It can be a huge rush: exciting and nerve-wracking and busy and beautiful, but try to give yourselves moments to breathe it all in.

And if you can share any of those moments with your partner, in eye contact or an embrace, even better.

This was intended as “wedding/honeymoon” advice, but it’s honestly also marriage advice.

Oh, and have tons of sex, if that’s your thing 😁

Congratulations 🥂
