"Congratulations and a piece of advice: don’t build furniture together if you want this to last!"

And remember: The first time you do something nice you get "Thank you very much!" The second time you do the same thing it's "Oh, you're good at that!" The third time... it's your job.

"Marriage is a bond between a person who never remembers anniversaries and another who never forgets them."
Should You Wish Brides and Grooms Differently?
Here’s an interesting fact that you probably never knew! A Victorian-era wedding tradition stated that people should never wish a bride by saying “Congratulations.” This wedding etiquette is based on the premise that only the bridegroom is lucky to have taken a bride. Therefore, you should only say “Best Wishes” to her.
You might have caught a reference to this age-old tradition in the season 4 finale of Mad Men. When Don Draper announces his engagement to Megan, Pete Campbell corrects a co-worker by saying that you shouldn’t congratulate a bride; you should only wish her the best.
Luckily, these old customs have changed over the years, and now you can share short, funny wedding wishes for the happy couple. Laughter is a much more significant part of marriage ceremonies than ever before. People even go to the extent of playing wedding pranks! Imagine having to restrain yourself from sharing funny wedding wishes for your best friend. That doesn’t seem like a wedding you’d want to attend, right?

These are terrible, mostly stupid and offensive stereotypes. I'm really dissappointed, I was actually hoping to find funny wishes for my cousin's wedding.
Joshua Moore 2 years ago
I agree most of these are terrible. I have been married for 11 years and divorced for more than 5 years now. I have friends who have gotten engaged and married. I pretty much give all of them the same advice. Make sure that you both listen to each other and communicate freely and openly without judgment. Be each other's advocate and biggest supporter. Help each other out. Don't keep score when it comes to disagreements. And make sure that forgive each other and forgive yourself too. Have fun together and love each other.

HOW I GOT MY $185,000 BACK FROM A CRYPTO SCAMMER ON FACEBOOK 2024 I lost about $185,000.00 USD to a fake cryptocurrency trading platform a few weeks back after I got lured into the trading platform with the intent of earning a 15% profit daily trading on the platform. It was a hell of a time for me as I could hardly pay my bills and got me ruined financially. I had to confide in a close friend of mine who then introduced me to this crypto recovery team with the best recovery jetwebhackers i contacted them and they were able to completely recover my stolen digital assets with ease. Their service was superb, and my problems were solved in swift action, It only took them 48 hours to investigate and track down those scammers and my funds were returned to me. I strongly recommend this team to anyone going through a similar situation with their investment or fund theft to look up this team for the best appropriate solution to avoid losing huge funds to these scammers...
