Title: I'm Getting Married Next Month
Post by: Pegasus V on August 19, 2002, 02:12:26 am: You're thinking, "Who cares". You've got some attitude problem mister! But that's ok.

I’ve started writing a speech for the wedding. I’ve done three paragraphs so far – E.T.D. = 1min, 30sec. I have also created this brief example of the speech for use in ‘promotion’. This is not included in the final version of my wedding speech.

I have been a little sceptical about getting married. Not so much sceptical, [pause to think] more doubtful of the point. I thought that a wedding was something to prove love for one another. I didn't think we [point to Christine, then me] needed any further convincing and the wedding felt a little condescending [doubtful face expression - something like this: :doubt: ]. But then I came to realise that our marriage isn't the next step in our relationship, [raise one finger in an idea fashion] in fact it is a celebration of the love we have for each other.

The target for my speech is 5 minutes. So I have 3mins, 30sec to go. I had a few ideas pop into my head over the last two weeks, so I decided to write them down before I forget. I’ll leave the speech for now until I think of more. But I still have enough time until the wedding. Plus the worst case scenario of not coming up with anything else is still ok, because I think the speech that I’ve prepared so far is enough.

By the way, I'm 20 years old and am already paying off a mortgage.

The question is, do you think 5 minutes is a good length for a wedding speech from the groom?

Post by: Kamikaze on August 19, 2002, 02:17:56 am: Whee, it's cool that we have such a close community that we're sharing our marriage information, quite amazing :D :p

Anyway, about your speech, I liked the first part :yes: and about the length, I think that five minutes is pretty good... you don't want it to be too short or it won't have enough "impact" but if it's too long people will start to tune out, so I think 5 is perfect... but I think you should try out your speech with an audience to see if you can keep them captivated for 5 minutes.

5 minutes is fine. Take as long as you need to express what you feel, you'll only be saying that to your love in that particular ceremony once... do what feels right.. if that makes sense

Indeed. The FS community (or more specifically - the HLP community) is the best on the net! Thanks for your advice. :yes:

Nope, both different. We're not saying unique vows, we're just using the ones supplied by that guy who marries us (I can't remember the position name). The speech is separate. Usually an embarrasing time.

Maybe you're right son, maybe you're right. Sorry, I'm in a Simpsons mood.

Title: I'm Getting Married Next Month
Post by: icespeed on August 19, 2002, 03:31:49 am: cool! speeches... speeches... speeches...
well, remember all that stuff you learn in high school english about speeches? About the use of the rhetorical question, about addressing the audience, about composing your speech in advance, etc etc etc?

forget all of that (except the addressing the audience bit) and just say what you want! Like: This is the best wedding I've ever had, or, I'm so lucky, or, Christine (is that her name?) is so lucky...

Don't think of it as a speech. Weddings are supposed to be fun!

Post by: Blue Lion on August 19, 2002, 08:16:01 am: It depends, if you're a good speaker, you can do 5 minutes easy, if not, I'd go more 3-4. Time can drag on if you bore them.

If you insist of having 5 minutes but run out of things to say, I have this little bit of advice for you, start telling them about HLP. I mean, it's great publicity and you could talk for hours about it. Besides, people wouldn't look at you that strange. If you do, please send me a video of it.

I will most definately post a picture of us in here after the wedding. (by the way, it's on the 28th September) Sh*t! It's creeping up so fast! Our wedding is on the same day as the AFL Grand Final (to non-Australians, that's the equivilent of the SuperBowl grand final thingy [Dr Evil voice]I don't know american football[/Dr Evil voice]).

Maybe I will tone the speech duration down to 3-4 minutes like Blue Lion said. But I don't think I'll mention HLP :p

The audience will be asleep by then.... and of course the bride will run off too "I'm not marrying this nerd!" ;) (I wonder if CP will ever get married or have a girlfriend... we should run a "make CP date campaign")
Title: no
Post by: Star Dragon on August 20, 2002, 02:23:34 am: No Math! The only Pi I want to hear about is Cherry or Blueberry..

As for the Date Campaign... Not a good Idea, I envision Disabling weapons to capture said 'Date'. Later Lawsuits from the disabled community are filed for using said weapons in a derogatory manner to aquire said 'Date'.

Recomendation - None at this time.

Dude, that's cruel (if it's on at the same time that is). I remember the last wedding I went to was on Grand final day - I know at least one person had a radio in the church and afterwards during photos outside my dad kept asking passing people what the score was. It was funny as :lol:

We tolerate each other, which is pretty much how it was when we got married ;)

She puts up w/ my gaming and late-night hackery (and my influence on my son to do the same -- he still occasionally yells "Dive Dive Dive Hit your burners pilot" for no apparent reason) and I put up with her disapproving looks and shopping binges :rolleyes:

Having a 5-year old and a 7-month old around does change the equation a little...

Overall, more positives than negatives, IMHO :yes:

someone once said to me marrage is somthing you talk about when you have little elce to discuss. now i have been able to make up my own mind and i have came to the conclusion that this is wrong. Marrage is the ultimate expression of two peoples love for each other [point to each other holding your hand to your chest afterwards] from this day forward i can say i am in love and show it to the world.

Post by: Pegasus V on February 07, 2004, 01:01:02 am: Hey I'm back again. Well, incase any of you are wondering why it's been so long, I got separated one month after the wedding. She left me for my best friend of 16 years/groomsman at the wedding. To cut a long story short, it cost me $16,000 and a lot of emotion.

But anyway, months later I rediscovered who I really was. And I love life now. I've finally got to do all the things I ever wanted.

Oh, and thankyou for your support and warnings. :)

shhhhhh! you're one of them!!!

If that can make you feel, hmm, dunno, less lonely, I don't have much luck with women either, Pegasus.
But then I still like them, go wonder :p

Anyway, Pegasus, sorry to hear that. Hey, look on the bright side: she could've done that AFTER you were married. At least you know your "friend" doesn't have a very loyal wife, imo.
Again, like everyone's said, best of luck. We're all here to listen if you want to talk about it :)

I never know with that word. pick the one.

But seriously, what better way to celebrate than with a 5-minute long tribute to only the best game in existence--FreeSpace 2? ;7 I mean, how else will you tune out future nagging? :nervous:

yeah sorry guys, actually i saw the thread title "I'm getting married next month", and i thought Pegasus was going to get married next month (who would've thought, judging by the thread title), so since i didn't want to read through 4 pages of what i thought would be "Congratulations" and stuff, i just clicked 'reply'.
Title: I'm Getting Married Next Month
Post by: Pegasus V on February 11, 2004, 06:49:19 am: Thanks for the support guys.

I've found a nice girl atm. We're both taking it slowly since we've both been hurt in the past. It's started well so far, but I'm not going to get too carried away too quickly. We're both well aware of the consequences. We're just having a bit of fun... ;) If it goes anywhere, so be it...

Uh. She did. :doubt:

Glad to know you aren't sulking over the issue though like I know one of my current friends would. It really screws your life over. But yeah, good luck with the new girl; happy to know you're continuing on. :)

Pegasus: I had my ex-fiance leave me for unclear reasons quite a few years ago; I (almost) know how you feel. (I'd go into a rant about how one of the main points of marrige is commitment to each other through thick and thin, but I don't feel it's the appropriate place.)
