Its MuyWedding in 90 mins in Kenya
well the time has come.........no escaping now 
am sitting here a few thousand miles away in the hotels internet cafe !!
having been chucked out of the room so rachel can get ready !
i think the net connection here is even slower than my slow dartmoor one on my superfast 33k connection i used to get
bloomin luverly weather........so hot and clear blue sky.
all kicks off at 2pm local time....we're 2 hrs ahead of u lot in good old blighty.
champagne is already chillin, the cakes hopefully baked by now and the photographer and maasai dancers should be on their way ! Never know around here as everyone seems to operate in slow motion ! even managed to borrow a video camera last nite off a fellow guest
rite time to go to bar i think

I got married there as well, about six years ago. Great choice of venue.
Whereabouts are you?
Mine was at Nyali Beach Hotel in Mombassa, which is a great place.

There's every chance of escape, right up until the last second and should be utilised at any cost to you now which will be a damn sight less than the cost of the divorce later on.
Spoon and Askew have obviously had 'bad experiences' and feel seriously bitter re the whole thing but you'll find to your amazement that plenty other people are actually pretty happy with their lot

Message from your Aunt Maude:-
"Sorry couldn't make it to wedding but please send picture of happy couple - fully mounted of course"
Good luck. D

I have nothing personally against marriage, just the unbalanced power it gives one person over the other when that marriage ends.
You go on to say you were a commitment phobe yourself. That's the easy part, talk to me if you lose everything through no choice of your own and then you'll realise it's not sad, it's devastating.
Threads are balanced from various views from posters, there is no rule saying they should or shouldn't be a certain way. This isn't toytown.

It's the guys wedding day
He's in Kenya
Probably the most nervous and excited he'll ever be
He comes on here to find:
I agree fully with
but I'm just saying that perhaps a bit of tact wouldn't go amiss at certain times......
Sure everyone is sorry to hear the experiences behind your bitterness and the fact that you were left devastated.... but perhaps this isn't the best time to be bringing it up....?
Just my thoughts
PS
You know very little/nothing about me therefore the above is a very foolhardy statement to make

Sipie- Sure it's the guys wedding day. If it's that exciting I wouldn't find myself on here!
You mention tact. What you mean is lets all tell lies to make marriage appear great really. If Steve is sure of what he's doing then no amount of alternative advice will be listened to anyway.
Oh, and I'm not bitter nor was I devastated, realists can't be.
As I know nothing about you I never made any personal assumption but I'm willing to bet you'll try to contact me in years to come. If I'm wrong then great, but as I said, I'm willing to bet.
Imlach- Spoil what, like I'm sure it will.

Imlach- What relevance is there in that statement at all? Don't tell me, it's another Imlachtangentism?
For your record, I'm the type of person who would know the will details down to the last asset, long before the funeral.

I'll totally agree to differ with you on this one etc but you've stirred my curiosity with the above comment
Why on earth would I want to contact you in the future...what worldly advice could you possibly offer me ?
Unless you are going to be selling super-unleaded at 50p a litre, I really can't see why I'd feel the need (nothing personal you understand..
)
Oh, and I'm not bitter nor was I devastated, realists can't be.
