During our wedding day,
our guests gave us many insightful, thoughtful and humorous responses
to our questions. Several are listed below. Enjoy!
What advice to you have for Gopi and Sunil?
My advice to Sunil is, your wife is always right!
Remember to always be each other’s best friend. And when in doubt, Gopi
is always right.
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Remember that when you are sleeping
on the couch.
Don’t forget—women are always right.
Sunil: Get to the 4th stage of marriage ASAP – TOTAL SURRENDER!
Sunil, learn to say YES BOSS, and you will be happy for the rest of
your life!
Sunil, learn one word to say for now – “Sorry!”
To keep your marriage happy, Sunil, remember “Gopi is perfect.” If she
is right, admit it. If she is wrong, shut up.
Please do not argue with each other. She is always right.
Marriage is a wonderful journey, full of adventure. Remember to keep
your sense of humor as you face life’s bumps along the way. And always
cherish each other through all of life’s experiences.
You never can predict what life has in store. Go with the flow, adapt,
be flexible and live life (with al its highs and lows) to the fullest.
Never stop having fun together. You are such an enjoyable, well-fit
couple and you will no doubt have much happiness ahead. Keep your laid
back, true, deep love forever and challenge each other.
Be kind for everyone is fighting a great battle.
Communicate and be happy.
40% domestic stocks, 20% international stocks, 20% bonds, 20% love.
Have patience in your married life.
We know in your marriage you will have love and trust, two essential
elements for a successful marriage.
Love each other through thick and thin.
Never go to sleep mad at the other.
Put each other first and don’t take things too seriously – have fun!
Try to understand each other well. That’s the real love.
Compromise, compromise, compromise.
Keep exercising.

General comments
Marriage is like a chewing gum.
I wish you the best of luck in everything. You are two fantastic people
and bound for lots of happiness and success.
Of all my married friends, I genuinely worry about you two the least! I
can easily see how much you care for and respect each other. And both
of you have a warmth and sincerity that will be valuable in your
relationship together.
Keep in touch with the elephants!
