[Team Mo']

[HBF]

Congratulations ODN.

 

[Juddrockz]

ODN,I hope you and your wife to be have a great wedding day and night and may all your happy future years to come be filled with "little" Blue followers

 

[Mean Muggin]

So how much are the mail order brides going for these days ODN?

Congrats ex-arch nemesis. I hope this doesn't turn out to be your kryptonite!

 

[blue gunslinger]

Congratulations ODN.

not like you to be a man of few words

 

[Bee]

Who does he actually barrack for Bee?

Anyone who plays Carlton!

He is actually an old Fitzroy boy, but he refuses to accept that Brisbane is the same team (can't say I blame him) so now he doesn't really support anyone.

 

[Aphrodite]

Congratulations on your pending nuptials ODN

Enjoy your special day

It's coming .... I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Is it a train?

What a massive day it will be. We will start on Friday night having several relaxing Jim Beam Blacks with my best mate and my Dad. Up at 6am to send my daughter off to meet my bride to be at her Mum's house for the obligatory preening and pruning ceremonies. I'll head off at 10.30am to meet the Mother In Law at the venue for the obligatory last minute anxiety attacks and hystrionics about how the flowers are not sitting right and who can we talk to about it. At 11.30am, the long procession down the makeshift aisle starts while I stand awkwardly with the celebrant, sweating profusely in a suit and cramping up. Then trying to listen to the words from the celebrant with my heart pounding ... then after what seems like an eternity, it's all over, but no, now I have to go for photos, then inside to get some drinks into me, then a witty and charming speech in front of a room full of people I barely know. Late afternoon, into the limo to head to the water for more photos, then back home where an evening reception for those that didn't fit into the numbers for the original reception and a trailing group of revellers from the first one will join us and party until the wee hours.

If I manage to get on BigFooty for even one word somewhere amongst all that, I truly must be dedicated. I wouldn't count on it however, although if I can hit send on a post from my mobile at 11.29am, I surely must award myself poster of the year!

Do yourself a big one mate and go easy on the grog Friday night. Spoil everything carrying a massive hangover.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Nah, it will be a cruisy couple to relax the nerves and give them the chance to talk me out of it.

Dear ODN


It seems that all the congratulations have been levelled at you and your wife to be.
You guys are big and worldly so the wedding will be played out and a good time to be had.
I've noticed in your recent post that you have a daughter.
May I wish her a beautiful day in particular. I don't know how old she is but it may be the case that she more than anyone else will need due attention on the day.

You clearly love your wife to be and that is great.
Do please although save the biggest and warmest hug for what I am sure is one very special child.

Cheers mate.

She is 13 and I have raised her for most of her life as a single parent due to an absent or disruptive other parent. We have an incredibly close bond and quite simply, if she is not happy, I am not happy and my bride to be has come to understand this and knows it will not be compromised. Like a true moderator, I don't automatically defend one over the other though, more help them understand each other better.

As a product of a broken home and leading a fairly isolated childhood with a poor stepmother and a brood of step siblings who all supported each other, I know full well what goes through the mind of kids in this situation, and probably over compensate just to be sure.

What's her username?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

What's her username?

***** ***** minx.

Oh you mean, big footy username right? So far, it is purely my domain and she has little interest, unless I tell her people are talking about her. Then she does her hair, puts on a little lipstick and settles back to read about herself, while saying 'awwwwww isn't that sweet.'

 

[krayfesh]

Yeah, we've all been there.

Sounds very much like you've done this before?
If you have, why in gods name would you do it again?

Mate, hope you and the new bride and your daughter have a top day.

A quick tip try to have a water in between every 2/3 beers. That way you wont get to drunk and you'll impress the hell out of the in-laws.

No, never done it before. I'm just imagining based on what I know and expect.

You were pretty much spot on with your assessment.

Meh, just ensures discretion on both sides when we hook up.

 

[thylacine60]

ODN, I officially scaled down the quest for Bec the other day. You might consider something similar. The pain and frustration start to ebb almost immediately.

Jennifer Hawkins is oiling herself up in rebound-anticipation already.

Good luck ODN.

 

[blue gunslinger]

Goodluck and godbless ODN
Enjoy the brilliance when the bride is at her best
Savour each moment and give thanks for all your blessings
Hope your daughter has a great day as well
