Any sage words of advice from the married folks on here? Is it normal to be scared shitless right about now?

4 or 5 times.
Completely normal, and it will pass.
Try to take a moment and enjoy yourself at the wedding as well (it's harder than it sounds).
If you need anything while you're in town, give me a call.

Depends. What are you scared of? If you're unsure about the girl you're marrying are having second thoughts, then that's a problem.
If you're just nervous about the day and pulling whole wedding thing off, it's normal but not really rational. It's stressful no doubt, but you shouldn't be getting ill over it. No one's ever been horrified or scarred by a hiccup during a ceremony.
Do you have people helping you out? That shit is so necessary. I was responsible for way too much on my wedding day aside from getting dressed and shit, and it caused us to be several minutes late walking down the aisle. That was a bad look.
Delegating is key.
You have to be willing to work at it and understand that there will be some bumps in the road, large and/or small.
Both people have to sacrafice to a certain degree, if only one does it's a hard ride....if neither does, it's doomed.
Been married for 29 years this June 10th......honesty, loyalty and friendship has been the key.
Best of luck!
damn son, has it been a success? if so, what's your secret? I can't stand being with someone for 29 days...
Holy smokes! Listen to this guy^^^^^^
I can't speak for Rock, but the secret is finding the right person. I'm only four years in, but I'm looking forward to celebrating my 29th one day. All that "she's my best friend" stuff sounds corny, but it's true. you've got to be partners, in every sense of the word.
hope you have a good day, don't be nervous, it's a beautiful thing!

Here was my grandfather's only advice to all of his kids when they got married: "Be kind to each other." Kind of obvious, but a good thing to remember when stuff gets heated. Right before I got married last year, my Dad told me "40 years will go by like a blink of the eye".
I've only been married a little less than a year, but it is awesome so far. Oh yeah, the wedding and party afterwards will go by super quick. Don't forget to eat, and don't forget to talk with all of the people you may not get to talk with for awhile. You'll see plenty of the in-laws and parents, don't let them take up all your time.
Please post some pics my man.
Relax. Not chemically, at least until after the ceremony. Want a clear head for that. And, enjoy it. Half way through the evening, dancing with my new wife, she said to me, 'This is our wedding!' It summed it up well- realize what is happening, and try to recognize and enjoy the magnitude of the day.
And, have fun. For sure.
Congrats man. Big step in the real world.
Holler if you have any questions about Sin Disney (Tacos, bars, spots, etc..)
Sunday is the BBQ jump off.
I guess this confirms my prediction that I'll never get married. Companionship is one thing, but I could never see myself coming home to the same person every day. Perhaps finding someone who has similar goals and needs can be helpful as you'll be working towards a common interest
To quote Tom Petty:
You'll be fine. Just don't lock your knees at the altar.
I'm 7.5 years married myself, best decision I ever made. If you know inside that she's the right one then you got nothing to worry about.
"Keep your heart, Three Stacks, keep your heart."
Enjoy the day, and best of luck to you both!
Don't listen to your single friends calling you a sell-out for getting married!
Bonus:
I went to the barber shop then stopped at the record store the morning of my wedding.
this is the best advice yet. I'm going on 8 years in May myself.
Congratulations my man. I sent you an email let me know if you got it.

Click on the link that reads "see your wedding online", type in either one of our names (Adrian Milan or Erika Lara) and voila! You'll see Elvis performing the ceremony at 8pm pacific time....
Thanks...
your pal,
