Advice to a soon to be wed couple?

My cousin is getting married this weekend and I'm working on a card for the joyful occasion.
I do not have any beautiful poems ready, but I have some nice thoughts I can add to the card.
But if you happen to have some cute/funny/otherwise appropriate advice I could add to the card, I'd love to get them.

Remember. Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.
And. Statistically, 100% of all divorces start with marriage.

Matt, they're so in love that they will... 
Two years after they met, they're saying "I do" in front of their parents, siblings and siblings' partners tomorrow and then celebrate the union with a rock- style party for the rest of us on Saturday.
And the love, happiness & commitment is spreading; the bride's younger sister actually proposed her boyfriend of 5 years earlier this month, so one day there'll be another wedding! Don't know how soon, though, because they're 22.
Hmm... if my other cousin (who is also 27 just like me & the bride to be) will ask his parther to marry him, I might soon face some pressure from the family. Oh crap...

Well if you have read the davcon thread you would think that my advice would be to RUN!!!
But the best advice I can think of is:
Try always to think of the other person first.
This is not very easy to accomplish, but if you try and each manage it about half the time.
All will be well

Thank you all.
They have a prenup, so no worries about possible screw ups in the future.
Pat, I'll try to translate that into Finnish - it can be hard to keep the original content, but I'll try.
Rosy, that was beautiful.
April, I didn't recall that one, thank you!
Guiseppi, I don't think I could say that out loud and keep a streight face!
Dennis and Gena, thank you, those are good reminders to add.

wait at least 5 years before they have kids. we waited 10, and are glad we did. marriage turns to parenthood once the kids arrive, so they should enjoy each other for some time before they turn their attention to the babies!

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Prenups are interesting, when people draw up prenups does that mean they already dont trust each other even before they get married ?
But then people who dont have prenups often get burnt when things go sour !
What to do? Be romantic and risk suffering or Be unromantic but smart ?

Jesse had a prenup drawn up before we got married. Of course, his uncle had just been through a nasty divorce and Jess had some things, including land, that he was scared of losing.
It didn't matter one bit to me until we had been married for 5 years. But of course, me being the sweet person I am, let it go.
Then on our 7th anniversary he took the papers and threw them into the fireplace.

I guess then if one has a lot of asset that one can potentially lose ( like if one is Angelina Jolie ) then its a smart thing to draw up a prenup.
If one doesnt have a cent in the pocket then one can be as romantic as one wants.
The conclusion : one cant afford to be romantic if one is rich ?

They say that love is blind, but relatives are not. So, the first thing my mother said to my aunt: get them sign a prenup. May be nothing romantic, especially, when the only thing at risk is the tiny appartent she owns, but if things would turn sour one year (they both are feisty as hell), that probably will be a small comfort.
When my parents got married, they had a prenup, which prevented the possible debts dad would inherit from his father to hurt their future.
And I already know that my mother would never forgive me if I'd get married before signing a prenup.These days it seems to be common sense back in here.
And to return to the happy couple and the idea of children... the groom announced on Christmas Eve that he already knows what he'll do if they'll have kids: he will take a pic of his wife and their baby and then turn that pic into a permant tattoo to his chest. I had to ask, what will happen if they'll have more than one kid and he said that then he'll must find another spot for another tattoo made out of pic... But knowing the bride and the terrified look on her face there and then, they'll wait before having kids!

Here is a list of things that a card writer came up with after his nasty divorce....... it was the best he could do before he was fired.
We've promised to sign each others prenups and to live together as happily as possible without killing each other until we need to use them...
or
We'll stay together because we like each other... we'll be together until we don't.
or
We don't hate each other yet... and when we can't stand being in the same room together we'll get a lawyer to tell us which furniture to fight for and why.
or.
We're together now... we'll probably be together tomorrow... or at least until all the great gifts have lost their usefulness or have broken.
or
We need the tax break... so we'll do this until they change the tax laws.
or
We always liked blonde kids... chances are that's what we'll produce. We'll stay together until the child is old enough to realize that we really don't like each other.
with warm regards,
Tony
