I Finally Joined The Ranks of the "Respectable"

Hey guys,

Not that I assume anyone noticed, but I've not been posting much lately as it's been a busy summer for yours truly. However I should announce that it all culminated with my wedding, which took place last weekend. Yes, after 4 years, and nearly 15 years of acquaintance, we finally sealed the deal in front on a small gathering of family and close friends. Now when I call my SO "the wife" I can actually mean it

!

I guess I should mention something shaving-related as this is SRP! Before the ceremony I lathered up with my best Castle Forbes lime cream and gave myself the smoothest straight shave possible (6/8 Dovo Bismarck). I paid the price for it this week as I went ATG in places I don't usually dare, but this was a special occasion, and I needed the closest, best looking shave possible. It was worth it.

So, now that I joined those of you who have taken the plunge before me, if you married guys have any advice/ranting, by all means let's hear it. This could be the "Marriage Thread"........

Best Regards,

Ryan

A toast to your new Marriage!!!!!!!

Here's to King Solomon, ruler and sage, the wisest of men in history's page. He had wives by the thousand, and thought it was fun... Here's hoping you'll know how to handle just one.

and one more for luck!

Here's to marriage, for man is not complete until he's married... and then he's finished.

Here's to happiness... I never knew happiness until I got married. Now it's too late.

Here's to women... would that we could fall into their arms, instead of their hands.

You get the idea!

Congratulations on your marriage. Best wishes for a long and happy life together!

Sincerely,
Jeff

If I had killed her instead of marrying her, I would be out of prison a free man...

But seriously, it takes work. Dont think that keeping a marriage healthy just happens, it takes work and communication, and compromise, and a lot of yes dear. Been 18 years for me, 22 years since we started dating.

My dear Ryan,

The Russian writer Maxim Gorky wrote: "When one loves somebody, everything is clear — where to go, what to do — it all takes care of itself and one doesn't have to ask anybody about anything."

So congratulations.

Regards,

Obie
