Goodbye's, Hello's and Tailgating

Behave on the honeymoon or Commissioner Goodell will come down on you hard

enjoy yourself. The wedding and reception will be a huge blur (if it’s anything like mine), so try and savor it as much as possible,,,

Best wishes to the both of you during your upcoming marriage. Hope it becomes a long lasting and fulfilling time in both your lives. Party hard and return back safely.

for MtnExile to slip into a temporary blogging coma, so I can have my Alexander Haig moment.

That one actually made me snort like crazy…which resulted in me having a coworker come ask if i was ok…get to work on the next generation of Saints players Dave (and Erin of course)…i am already brainwashing my boy…

Just look at the profile pic for evidence (as for the life of me i cant figure out how to add a pic that is saved on my laptop)

I have been married 24 years as of 3 days ago. Before I got married, I got some great advice. I have not been able to adhere to it as well as I would have liked to, but when I have, I can truly tell you it has been the best piece of advice I have ever received. I think my wife, even though she never heard this advice, would attrbute a HUGE amount of “marital success” to the fact that she came to understand this concept on her own.

Before I got married, I asked my Uncle Bud what their (my aunt and uncle’s) secret to staying together for 40 years was. His response you must take in the proper context and I will preface it by telling you that my Aunt who is now 93 has always been quite a saint (pardon the pun) and a wonderful aunt and wife. My uncle could be a real challenge at times, so maybe the advice should have come more from my Aunt than my Uncle. But, nonetheless, it came from his mouth and his advice was priceless.

My Uncle laughed when he said to me…
                                                                              “In one ear and out the other…..”

             Always remember that and pray that your lovely bride embaces that concept also. You will hear much great advice as to how to have a great marriage and most of it not all will be good advice. But I think those words are worth remembering in spite of the jovial nature in which I extend them to you.

  And they will probably ring more valuable as time passes.

Congratulations to both of you, have a great wedding, and thanks for the great job at Da Chronic.

My best to you and your future wife.

If you work as hard and as well at your marriage than you do for our blog I’m pretty sure you’ll die a very old but still married man!

Would you be kind enough to thank Erin on my behalf for the tolerance she has on letting you spend so much time making CSC what it is?

saintBevo is right. It will be a whirlwind day, but when it gets too blurry, just keep your eyes on your beautiful bride.

it’s not too late to bail! Save yourself!!

j/k – congrats to you and the future Mrs.
will we get any gratuitous honeymoon hotel room pictures?
ohh…sorry – wrong website!

Congrats Dave. I wish I had some tidbit of eternal wisdom…all I got is good luck and best wishes

Have fun and take lots of pics. Bring me something back! (just kidding)

May your wedding be memorable for all the right reasons. I hope the wife teaches you not to argue way before mine has, because I spend quite a bit of time in very hot water.

And geez, MtnExile, what’s wrong with ol’ Dave the Falconer? Worried I was going to bring my portable Matt Ryan shrine over here?

Party like you’re David Garrard.

I have very lame advice, but that would be that each of you should appoint a friend or family memeber to be your designated feeder. Before the ceremony, during the reception…it’s summer and hot and you are drinking a lot. I almost passed out (although the fact that my dress almost couldn’t zip). And have a great time!

If she says, “nothing’s wrong,” then everything’s wrong.
If she says, “everything’s wrong,” then everything’s wrong.
If she says, “that’s not funny,” then you’d better not laugh your a** off.

To get the full effect, you have to see/hear Homer actually say it to him. When my wife and I saw it in an episode during our engagement, I paused, rewound, and watched it again 10 times until I finally wrote it down so I’d have it exactly right. My wife and I both agreed that we’d have to include it in our wedding somehow, and we did.

Advice from a female perspective:
When you are asked “Does this make me look fat?”, the answer is always “No, you are perfect in every way.”
I wish you many, many years of happiness with your wife!

First of all Dave, you never let on how much you like a girl. Even your wife.
“Oh, Erin. Hi.”

Two, you always call the shots.
“Kiss me. You won’t regret it.”

Now three, act like wherever you are, that’s the place to be.
“Isn’t this great?”

Four, when ordering food, you find out what she wants, then order for the both of you. It’s a classy move.
“Now, the lady will have the linguini and white clam sauce, and a Coke with no ice.”

And five, now this is the most important, Dave. When it comes down to making out, whenever possible, put on side one of Led Zeppelin IV.

You know what they say: “Luck is where opportunity meets preparation.” But they also say: “De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da”, so what do they know?

“And you never know, I just may check in from my honeymoon headquarters.” Hah! That doesn’t work until your second marriage. May you not need one.

One correction—we wouldn’t be here without you, Dave.

Here’s to you and your bride:

Just remember shes your best friend , your lover , your world. And you wear the pants after she picks them out. Best Wishes.
