Enjoying Married 101........

Hey Guys,
Been away from the forum for a while, with good reason.... I got married in mid-April.
The last 2 weeks in April is now like a blur to me. Had the ceremony and reception in Va, on my mother-in-laws Homestead.Honeymooned in the Great Smokey Mountains of Tennessee. We had a secluded cabin on a mountain top over looking about 50 miles of Tenn. timber. It took all I had to pack up and return to Jersey.
So far, I'm enjoying this "married thing".
There are a few sticky points, which I'm sure will work themselves out. This wasn't a relationship where we've been living together for a few years before tying the knot. Through the many years we've been together we've lived separately, about an hours drive apart. So now that we're sharing a house there can be times....... where "there are a few sticky points"...lol Hey lets not get it twisted, we're in this on that forever train. I'd recommend this institution for anyone. But I'm sure I don't have to tell most of you guys!
Trying to get my mind and self back into my music recording and DV recording mode. I told clients I would be taking a 2 month break(enough time for wedding, honeymoon, and wife move in...). Well, times up..... I start recording an album for a local artist next week, and hopefully we'll talk about a video shoot.......
Planning to attend the NYC Herofest Premiere and DVXusers meeting at B&H Photo on June 4, 2006. I enjoyed the first one......see you there.

Congrats man. My advice to you is; if you ever get mad or frustrated, or things get "sticky", just go for a walk and come back later when you cool off. Don't ever say anything you'll regret. Don't take each other for granted. Keep things as fresh as you can.
 
Take it from Noct. Judging by the pictures hes posted of supremely HOT HOT HOT girlfriends, he knows what he is talking about...

No offense to Noct, who could be the wisest guy in the tri-state area, but simply having HOT HOT HOT girlfriends doesn't make you a relationship guru.
 
hahaha I can take that, I'm definitely nothing near a guru. Especially since I'm once divorced...I probably don't know what I'm talking about at all. I learned a lot, though.

Marriage scares the hell out of me these days. I don't want to turn into a Mickey Rooney.
 
Chris,

Congratulations!

My marriage is the best thing that ever happened to me. Sounds, like you two are off to a great start.

6 years for me this September. It's strange how marriage is so devalued these days. More than 50% don't make it. My theory is that more than 50% don't take it seriously enough before they invest in it.

In DVX terms, if you take all the graduates from culinary school, say congrats, throw a DVX in their hand and say "Go make a movie!" Definately more than 50% will fail.

I'm no expert. I think some folks just expect the "love" to carry you through, good things just happen and unforseen obstacles don't come up.
 
Congratulations... All I know is I cannot wait to find that one person who I can commit to for the rest of my life :) So exciting!

Yes. I completely agree. It was just my way of saying that Noct has shown pictures of HOT HOT HOT girlfriends. I was just paying him a compliment in my shallow sort of way.

In truth, I think I've been fortunate to have some pretty faces, but I am a relationship idiot. Marriage scares the freaking HELL out of me. And my current girlfriend is by far the coolest of 'em all.

Brownhood, many congratulations! We only had a handful of people at the meeting today, and only viewed three HeroFest flicks, so you didn't miss a lot. Hope you and your honey had a honey of a day. Don't sweat the adjustment period -- it's totally normal.
 
Thanks MsManhattan and the rest.......... Tried to get to the meeting, but didn't get out of an event 'till 4 pm. Wanted to catch up........ find out how's the "toaster" movie going with C. Mess. and net with Pierre(CapitolIP)....

Thanks for the comments...... Wifey and I are doing great.
 
Marriage and a family are definately for me. June 27th will be 8 years of marriage and she still is the sexiest momma I know. Best thing to ever happen to me and a great mother to our 6 year old to boot. I got lucky.
