Marriage Life

The time is here! I guess it gets here for most of us, but Saturday, December 17, 2005 is my day. And for some reason, I am quite nervous. I don't know if any of you got nervous before your big day, but I am. Thus, I am writing this to all you married persons out there. Any advice for me? Any words of wisdom in my last few days as a single man? I look up to all of you married guys and gals out there just because you are married and thus are more experts on marriage than me. I think here are my biggest causes of nervousness...
1. The wedding night - an obvious one for someone who has never been there.
2. The idea of entering something so final - Don't get me wrong, I am pumped about it overall. However, for a guy who only had one girlfriend and is 27, ahhhh! (but it really is a good ahhhh)
3. Parents - I really hope my parents will come to love and enjoy her family, and Shannon as well. This has been a little rocky so far.
4. My selfishness - I never realized how selfish I am until now! And now I have to share that with another.
5. Provision - Now I have to provide for others and not just myself anymore. Every decision I make affects more than just me.
And I am sure there are others, but this is what I have for now. Again, don't get me wrong, I am excited about going through with this, but am just nervous. Any other former nervous grooms out there?
