The "change" is on the way

jersey - I tried that! The aroma seeping through 5 layers of garbage bags finally got to me .... his socks are putrid!!!

congratulations cowwrangler :tiphat: ~ There is sure lots of good advise to heed here :D
 
per said:
Don't start her down the culture of expectation. If you decide to remember birthday's, anniversaries etc. Don't bring home stuff that you will have to top next year. Small homemade thoughtful gifts are more appreciated.

For every argument there must be a make up session. Works well when you are young as she won't mind a disagreement :wink: and when you are old she will never disagree with you. :shock:

Have your kids while you are young enough to act like one. You don't want to be using your pension to put them through college.

Very good advice!! :D I might also add that getting a mannequin in your likeness would be well worth the money spent. You see, they like to talk and talk and talk and talk and talk. So, just place the mannequin in a strategic place and they'll never know your gone.

We must have similarly trained, or not trained hubbys! The clothes are always on the floor in front of the hamper and I never have a day of working cows that I don't get yelled at! :lol: But being tough cowgirls, of course we can handle it! 8)

I thought of one more piece of advice.....

Never dwell on your spouse's faults. If you only let yourself see the good things they do and about them, the better you'll get along. Unless it's a dented in head from the frying pan. That's a hard one to overlook! That's why men always wear hats!

Not me.

I tucked my tail between my legs and very politely said "Ok Honey, I promise I will not do it again."

Congratulations

the advice you have received is all good stuff - it might not all make sense right now but it will.

we've only been married for 11 years so i'm a rookie compared to most that have shared. The only thing i would say is that if you have a chance to make a life together in production ag it is worth any and all sacrifices. When we were in our first 5 or 6 years of marriage I didn't know how the heck we were going to make it with two boys and now a little girl and at the time it seemed like nothing but hard work and stress. I guess my advice would be looking back now those days are the ones I miss the most and I think those are the best days of my life. there is nothing better than the love of a spouse when you have nothing else or the look of a child that thinks the sun rose and set on your shoulders. so eat those days up and don't let the little things distract you from that.
 
From the vantage point of 52 years and 6 months of marriage: no one is perfect, so if neither of you expect the other one to be, it will be a good marriage. Marriage is not always easy, so don't expect it to be. Faith, love, forgiveness and charity toward others goes a long way toward making a peaceful life. All advice aside, both of us believe staying together has been worth the occcasional sacrificing of pride by one or the other of us to keep the peace.

Enjoy today and the rest of yalls life together.
Remember to put atleast half as much work in your marriage as you do your job and yall will be fine.
 
wow, another good training post for me :lol: all kidding aside, congrats wrangler, nothing more special than a good gal to share things with. You will never know it until you lost it. One thing told to me is that "a harsh comment or word burns deeper than any kind words at the time can heal". Have a great wedding day.
 
Congrats!!!! It's almost time, isn't it? :D

If you spend your lives going out of your way for each other and not thinking about yourselves you both will be very, very happy 8)
 
Just looked up at the clock and realized that it is a little after 3 o'clock Montana time.....you are probably in your "tux" and getting ready to say the vows!! Wishing you the very best in your future....may the good Lord shine on you and the missus for the rest of your lives!! Be happy and God bless!!!!

ok,lol the report,wedding went off without a hitch,but i did get in trouble with mother in law,we was at church on fri and i found a recliner to sit in and almost had a nap,everyone was all nervous and i was supposed to be also i quess,so she calls me up on sat morning and says today you have to be nervous, or i am gonna call Yankton and have them" fluff your pillows" cause your just not right,lol,well as i walked her up the aisle on sat she is shaking like a leaf,i asked her why and she about hit me,lol :lol: , so then during the ceremony we just got done with the vows,people are bawling for what ever reason,so i leaned over and told the wife i said it sounds more like a funeral than a wedding,so then she breaks out laughing,but i think at that moment all the stress left her ,cause she didnt seem so nervous then,so then we were introduced as a couple and went outside to greet quests,was a perfect day,70 degrees and no wind,i then surprised the new bride with a carriage ride,a black team and a vista i think they are called,our mothers went along on the ride and they both thought that was pretty cool,we then had reception and a dance later,everyone had a ball,so after a long day we stayed at her place,come home sunday to my place and my so called relatives and blocked the driveway with hay bales,placed big round straw bales around the house,they also had gotten into the house and smeared every doorknob with vaseline,cereal scattered all over the carpets,rice in the bed,tore the labels off every can, new wife was not impressed,lol
 
Well cowwrangler, it sounds like you had a great day for a great occasion and I'm happy for you both!! And yup, sounds like you are gonna have a few mystery suppers for a while.

One way to fix it all up is to have the suspected label rippers over for supper a few times . . . . .
 
Sounds like you had a wedding you will never forget :wink: The pranks are a part of it and funny, too (after a few weeks have gone by). God Bless your marriage and may it last for the rest of your lives here on earth. Keep us updated, in fact, get your new bride involved with Ranchers.net!!!! :D :D :clap: :clap: :nod: :nod:
