Better yet, I'm in New York now and I'll be in London next week, just send the cake to me and I'll pack in my suitcase and hand deliver it.

Seriously, I wish you and Susan the all the best and many years of health and happiness.

[JadecloudAlchemist]

I wish you the best of luck and happiness for the both of you Humor goes along way in realtionships. I have found that having joy in the changes and challanges is a great experience in life.


MARRIAGE, n. The state or condition of a community consisting of a master, a mistress and two slaves, making in all, two.


WEDDING, n. A ceremony at which two persons undertake to become one, one undertakes to become nothing, and nothing undertakes to become supportable

I myself am going on I think 9th years lol I wish your marriage to be long lived as well.

[girlbug2]

I'm sure that the REAL question is, will the happy couple be getting hitched in uniform??

Please post pics!!!

:-partyon::-partyon::-partyon:

Congratulations!!

[Bob Hubbard]

Thank you all :)
I'm currently going nuts with last minute stuff. So far I'm 1/4 of the way through what I need to have done in 3 hrs. Need 12, have 3. haha.

Wedding's this Saturday. I'll post pics asap. Now, back to panic mode. haha.

[celtic_crippler]

'bout time you stopped livin' in sin. :p

Congratulations and I wish you the very best!

Congratulations, Fearless Leader! http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

[arnisador]

Am I expected to dress for a real wedding, or a Bob-style wedding? Will jean shorts and a pizza-stained T-shirt be OK?

[Tames D]

[MA-Caver]

Happy Days to you both may your days be long & happy and the bad times be few and far between. :asian:

[Tames D]

.

That was extremely rude of me http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/images/icons/icon10.gif.

Actually, marriage is a good thing. 23 years for me. The best advice I can give you is to always respect her and never forget that above all else she is your best friend.

[girlbug2]

Hey Bob,

May I suggest that your guests would enjoy a little kata at the reception :D?

Sorry Bob, but that was good one. ;)
Seriously, with Susan, you can't go wrong. Enjoy your day my friend.

[Tez3]

Congratulations and all good wishes!
I will be thinking of you on Saturday!

[Bob Hubbard]

If you do, I'll be introducing you as Doctor and explaining where you work, so they knwo it's not my fault that semi-formal has fallen so low in the mid-west. ;)

Been a crazy day...picked up tuxes, hat, dry cleaning, people, etc. She's relaxed I'm the wreck, LOL!. On the plus side, I now have 2 days to relax or get super nervous with little to distract me.

But, thank you for the kind words, well wishes and jokes. Susan's my best friend in this world, and without her my life, my heart and my soul would be as empty as the void. I can't imagine anyone else but her by my side, and can't understand how I could be this lucky. :)

[grydth]

Relax is the best way to go......just let the wedding happen. Nothing can 'spoil my wedding day' as long as you walk out of there with the right person for you.

On the subject of wives, I only offer this honest observation : I fear no man and only 1 woman.

Congrats!

[Xue Sheng]

oh so this is your excuse for taking time off from MT....sheeeeesh :D

http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif CONGRATULATIONS http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

[Tames D]

Oh, and one more bit of advice. Try an remember your wedding date. My wife just informed me that we have been married 22 years and not 23 like I said earlier http://martialtalk.com/forum/images/icons/icon11.gif.

Actually try to remember EVERYTHING...because she will :D

[shesulsa]

Called you yesterday to give you a final verbal chuck on the chin. Don't let anyone get you down, don't let the little things stress you out, party like it's 1999 ;) and STAY THE HELL OFF THESE BOARDS!!!! :cuss:


Congratulations to Bob and Susan!
You Two So Totally RAWK!!

Remember, Bob-marriage is like a three ring circus..

....first the engagement ring.....

....then the wedding ring....

...then the suffering! :lfao:

Seriously:congratulations!!

Congratulations and look back a couple of posts to what Xue said. Very, very important! http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

*cue Star Wars music*

Now your transformation to the dark side is complete.:jediduel:

Congrats, Bob. Here's wishing you and yours as good a marriage as me and mine have. :asian:

[Live True]

GREAT CELEBRATION AND JOY!

My wish to you both is love, understanding, freindship, acceptance, and laughter...lots of laughter!

I'm fairly sure this won't be an issue....but always remember to talk to eachother and not at eachother.

May you both Blessed be!

[Sukerkin]

Excellent advice and warm wishes from all above - I'm proud to be a part of such an unashamedly romantic group (checks passport ... yep ... still English ... checks upper lip ... yep still properly stiff :D).

The only contribution I can give is that if you always put her first and she always puts you first then everything will be fine. Tell her you love her at every opportunity and plenty of hugs and kisses and the years simply fly by.

Great advice, and then your marriage seems like a paradox after awhile,it both seems like you haven't been together very long, and you can't remember ever not being together.

-sigh!-

So Rita, (that's the wife) says that it's "shameful" that I simply offered this joke, that "You've used so much it's more worn than Johnny Weismuller's loincloth" and that I should say something "like when you marry people."

So, Bob-in the spirit of Wesley Snipes in White Men Can't Jump, I'll offer the same sage advice: Listen to the woman-(like I am right now, :lol:). In the spirit of one of my teachers, I'll point out that, for a man, a key to a good marriage is to find out what she wants, and give it to her. (like I am right now, :lol: ) I'll point out that some of my Navajo friends would say that since you've been living together-well, I presume-you're already "married": a "minister" doesn't marry you, the "church" doesn't marry you, the state certainly doesn't marry you, and "God" doesn't marry you-you marry each other.

I'll just add two more things: on the road of life, you are bound to stumble, and fall-and, hopefully, get up. It's easier, though, if someone is there to help you get up. Don't forget to help each other up when needed.

A lesson I learned late in life (but not too late!!):real happiness comes from making someone else happy. Keep doing that, and you'll be fine.

Oh, and have a really good bachelor party tonight-have a cigar for me.......and may your wedding tomorrow be everything you've both hoped for.....

Its times like this I am very happy my wife does not look at MT at all :D


And Bob.... again.... Congratulations.... and don't forget...ANYTHING!!! Particularly if it has ANYTHING to do with your wedding or marriage
or it will come back to bite you :D

I wish you both the best and many happy years to come :asian:

[elder999]

My wife doesn't look, either.........I told her. :duh:

:eye-popping:Even a great marriage should have some secrets:lookie:

:jaw-dropping: WHAT!!!!

[Andy Moynihan]

My very best to both of you. :)

[jks9199]

By now -- the deed should be done, and the partying on-going.

Congratulations & good luck. No sage words of wisdom for you, Bob... You gotta muddle through it like the rest of us. (Though it does help a lot if you simply resign yourself to the fact that you will never be right again... and probably won't find half your stuff anymore, either.)

[morph4me]

So I guess it's time to introduce, for the first time, Mr. & Mrs Bob Hubbard. Congratulations Bob and Susan

[Bob Hubbard]

Thank you.
We had a lovely ceremony, wasn't perfect, but it wouldn't have been 'us' if it was :)

Pictures are coming. I took a few before things got busy, and we'll be getting some later on.

Now, I nap. :)

[Archangel M]

We learned about the pending nuptials too late to enroll him in one of the "Scared Single" seminars.........

Do you notice Mr Hubbard is back here today??? Some one of you with more seniority than I needs to speak with him on the concept of a Honeymoon and time away!

[Sukerkin]

Several of us already have :D.

[Bob Hubbard]

Bob has house guests that prevent certain traditional activities until a later date unfortunately.

[Rich Parsons]

Bob has house guests that prevent certain traditional activities until a later date unfortunately.

But, Bob I left on Sunday. Oh Wait I was not staying with you. I wonder who that nice couple was. ;)

Married Bob!

[Guro Harold]

Wow, this news has sent shockwaves through the "Single Guys" universe! A key stronghold has been conquered.:xtrmshock:uhohh:

Please don't let Susan blog or write a book on how she did it. The releasing of her trade secret could cause the rest of us bachelors to crumble as well!!!

Congratulations to you both!:cheers:

-Harold

[Bob Hubbard]

Susan says it has something to do with hypno-boobies. LOL!

[Sukerkin]

Aye, a powerful force are they :D. Even those of us who are strong of will and fierce of mind eventually crumble under their seductive influence.

[Kajowaraku]

Susan says it has something to do with hypno-boobies. LOL!

That's how it usually starts... For all our martial arts, we are still defenseless against the stare of the mammalian glands. All we can do is stare back, and behave irrational. Or get married I suppose :).

Somewhat delayed congratulations to you Mr. Hubbard.

[ShelleyK]

HAHAH Ok boys back on track here...we are talking about getting married not mammary glands LOL!!! ;)

[Bob Hubbard]

I was hypnotized, really. :)


One of Susan's friends put up some shots (http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=12934880&albumId=3319820)though you might need a myspace account to view them. We got a couple packs from the family in, but my scanner crapped out on Friday so it'll be a while b4 I can scan em in.

[Scott T]

Congratulations, Bob and Susan!

All my best. :)

So, Bob, did you go with the Darth Vader helmet? :uhyeah:

[jks9199]

If you ain't realized it... mammary glands (and access to them) are a prime drive of marriage! :eek: :rolleyes:

[Kajowaraku]

The least you can say is that men are user-friendly.

Generally "no" means "no" and not: "If he really knows me he'll secrely surprise me!"

And "yes" tends to mean "yes" and not "if he really loves me he won't!"

For the record, i'm kidding ladies. I'm just trying to cover for the singleminded simplicity of my gender (insert: *guilty look*). The difference between a boy and a man is that boys tend to feel caught with their hand in the cookiejar when this subject is brought up, while men tend to simply admit and grin. Mariage doesn't change that man-gland relationship, it just makes it more exclusive and geared towards particular instances of fascination rather than the entire generic category.

God, come to think of it, we *are* simple :D !

[Bob Hubbard]

So, we got married on Saturday, Ken took the paperwork in on Monday, and we have our official certificate already. Got it on Wed. Now that's cool. :)

Our ceremony was a personal one that we pulled together ourselves. In addition to a ring exchange, we also were handfasted. This is an older custom where a ribbon is tied around a couples hands and is where the phrase "tying the knot" came from. :) Of course, there were little hiccups, like the wind trying to blow the ribbon away, microphone issues, and a few music miscues, but it really did reflect us well.

I'm still a bit in shock that it's done with, and am still in a happy mindset. (Really makes it hard to rant in my blog, lol).

[Tames D]

Bob,
I wish you and Susan all the happiness in the world.

[Guro Harold]

Hmmm, I wonder if this is where the phrase, "He's all hemmed up!" came from as well?:)

[Sukerkin]

I don't know if the tradition made it across the Atlantic with the settlers so forgive me if this question makes no sense to you, Bob.

Are you going to renew your hand-fasting every year? It's a truly meaningful thing and helps a couple focus on just what it is that makes them love each other.

[arnisador]

I'm glad handfasting was the only type of fasting they had!

Not sure. We haven't discussed it, but it is an idea we'll be talking about. :)

Food was good eh? :)

[arnisador]

Yup!
