        I love this idea. I am approaching my tenth anniversary. my best advise would be 1 - Be very flexible, and celebrate your differences as well as the things you have in common. We both like to read, but I am a cuddle and read, while my wife likes solitude. We read in the same room sometimes, and on other occasions I purposely read downstairs. 2 - To your husband, remember to continue to do all the things you did while dating to win her over. 3 - Find a favorite florist, and be creative in your flower sending.

        your site is soooo cute. Loved the pics - have looked at them time and again with my fiancee Alex. Alex is a seminary student and we plan on having a ceremony in the not too distant future. You have been an inspiration to us.

        I think your wedding site is fabulous! I was searching on the net for some ideas and ceremony/reception sites in the Sacramento area. I think the Vizcaya looks gorgeous and I will look into it! My tip for a wondeful and successful marriage is : Always ALWAYS communicate with eachother. Never go to bed angry because you never know what tomorrow holds.

        I was recently married, last November, and think that your web pages are a great way of preserving all of those precious memories that fade away. I would have to agree that I was dazed during the ceremony as well. I think your web pages are very descriptive and will definitely help anyone who visits get a better understanding of what it REALLY is like! Good Luck and God Bless!

        People! Is it realy possible that two people can fall in love with each other using the Internet? I think not. Especially if you are Russian or Ukrainian. It's so easy to lie writing the letter! I think foreigners mainly use such people like me, they bye a cheep slave taking us to be their wifes. It's not fair. We are not dummies and idiots who can only do a home job. We also have brains and there are clever, kind and wise people among us. We have feelings, we can deeply love...

        Hello Sherry & Brian, You don't know us, but I was surfing wedding websites as we were preparing to have our special day and found yours. My husband is also a computer geek and was very excited about creating our website. We got married in Woodland and had our reception at the Radisson Sacramento on 3/20/99 (our families are all in California) and honeymooned in Hawaii. Your site was the inspiration for ours. Congratulations to the two of you!! May your marriage be filled with joy!! Melissa and Jim Goud p.s. Check out our website when you get a chance...

        Icecream is strange and so is a fishball but the people that people marry is the strangest thing of all. (Quote by Grammy Hancock). There is a jack for every jill (Quote by Grandma Spencer). It stands to reason that love finds its own.

        You two picked the perfect wedding date. I married Chris Wink,CPA on June 8, 1996,which also happened to be the 28th wedding anniversary of my parents. Karma is a good thing!!! I know you two were alreay really happy and very much in love the last time I saw you, many moons ago. Plus you already lived together for a while and are well aware of Brian's fixation with expensive machinery, so I only see great happiness for you two in the future. I am glad that both of your careers are going well and wish you much continued happiness in the future. Best Wishes Always, Katie Eastham Wink P.S. Your web page was very cool! If any of my grant funding comes through for my non-profit agency, I'll keep you in mind for our web site design.

        What a wonderful web page. This is, I think, one of the best things about the Web. I loved being able to learn about your WONDERFUL engagement and peek in on the wedding doings. Since I just know Sherry from her "listmom" job, it was great to see her "in person" on the net. I'm not married (but may be really close for the first time in my life) so I don't have any advice. Just lots of best wishes! Hope you had a wonderful honeymoon!

No one said being married was easy! Take it day by day, and remember your vows. . . May your years together be blessed with: KIDS!!! :) happiness and FUN. Britton

        Congratulations Sherry! I only recently found out from Lois Black that you were getting married! Anyway, as for advice, well we could write a book on that subject. But we won't. The things that have really helped my husband, David, and I are: 1) Tolerance of each others pesky habits 2) Freedom to have fun apart from each other now & then 3) Verbalizing our expectations, hurts and appreciation for each other (I think they call that communication). 4) Always, always, try to strive to treat each other as you did when you first met. Simple things like saying "Thank you" and "Please", etc. are still important. They are little shows of appreciation. I think that's one of the biggest mistakes couples make is to start to little by little take each other for granted. and 5) Have a video made of your wedding and watch it on every anniversary! There's nothing like being able to relive the event once a year! We've done it for three years in a row and every year we both cry when we watch it. Best wishes to you both!

        I believe that the key to a succesful marrage is to have trust and faith in your partner. What ever the two of you might face in the future, NEVER do anything that might make the other loose that trust. People get married out of love, but no matter how much a couple loves each other, they get divorced because they lack trust. Never forget that. Best wishes to you both, you deserve all the happieness this world has to offer.

        Well, speaking from what might be considered, quite a lot of marital experience (after all I have been down the ol' aisle twice!) My best advice to you can honestly be--HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY or as I chose to practice in my first marriage, DENY TILL YOU DIE!!! Ha Ha I learned the hard way that my first approach to marital bliss wasn't as successful as was my second. I guess we all must live and learn. Best of luck, love and much happiness to you both!

        Always support each other through whatever may arise; Thomas and I truly understand this attribute after the first year of marriage. Also remember that there are no trial periods. Regardless that you've lived together and you believe you know all about each other; you never completely know or understand your spouse, not even on the day you die. Lastly, always try to smile; it can make a world of difference :-) Warm Wishes, Loreal Slofkosky

        Sherry, Hiya it's ol' Tom. I think that one of the best things for my marriage is to keep things fun and one on one at least one day of the week. ie: Go to the park together, climb a mountain or hill, drive to another city and just go look at houses or new structures, virtually anything. Things like sex and going out to dinner can almost become too standard and overlooked as special events. Communications, the subject beaten into the ground, is still the best thing for keeping a trust and open link between the two of you. You've got to be better than I am with this since you have known each other for much longer a period. Talk to you later Sherry or see you at the Wedding. Thomas Slofkosky p.s.-Don't let parents trying to influence the wedding get to you. After 3 or 9 months you'll forget about the hell they may put on it. ;-P

        I think that the success of a marriage resides in how seriously a bride and groom take their wedding vows. If both parties truly commit to each other: for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health - till death do us part. Then they will probably have a long and stable marriage. I find that too many couples will speak their wedding vows, but don't really seem to understand the import behind the words.
