Cermele: My Final Post as an Unmarried Man
By Joe Cermele
Big day on Saturday. I tie the knot. So first and foremost, I just wanted to let everyone know not to expect to hear from me for a while. As of Tuesday, I'll be in Turks & Caicos for my honeymoon. I really look forward to romantic sunset strolls, frosty pina coladas, snorkeling, and...let me see...what else? Oh yeah. Bonefish. Lots and lots of bonefish.
That's my fiance Christen in the photo above during what remains my proudest moment in our relationship (so far). Armed with a pink rod and green rain boots, she chucked metals like a pro during her first surf-fishing outing a few years ago and beached bluefish after bluefish on her own. Has she since become a die-hard angler? Not even a little. But she will lay on the beach for hours and I will fish on the beach for hours, so we've got a good thing going. Sit her on a beach connected to a bonefish flat, and we're both happy campers.
We're at that point of scrambling to tie up last-minute loose ends before the show starts. There is much to do. But last night, I shirked all wedding-related chores and did what I do best. I went fishing (with Christen's blessing, no lie). I went all alone to the same spot where that bluefish was caught. I just needed a final night of quiet reflection. Not because I'm nervous to get married, but starting tonight, tuxes need picking up, out of town relatives will begin to arrive and the chaos of which guest ordered chicken but got steak will begin.
I even got into some good striper action, which made the night that much sweeter. They should be right where I left them when I get back. So I'll report on all happenings upon my return. And you can bet I've worked some fish-related fun into my reception, but I'll keep you guessing until I've got the pictures. Catch you in two weeks. - JC

Joe,
I like to congratulate you on your marriage this Saturday!!!
You have a lovely wife and We pray for your happiness, wealth, health and post the picture for us when you get back.
I wish you mention it earlier and my wife and I could get you something for your wedding...
I been married for over 20 years and I still love my wife until this day.
Good Luck to you and Have a great time!!!
RudyG.
While you're casting for bonefish don't forget your best catch is sunning on the beach...congrats, JC. Enjoy it.
And remember, it's perfectly acceptable for the groom to do the worm on the dance floor during the reception.
Any women who'll agree to let her guy go fishing 2 nights before their wedding is trophy keeper. She's a real catch!!
Cermele,
Yeah man! Hell yeah!
A serious heart felt congratulations from myself and Deeter (he's MIA in the swamps of Florida), but I know he'd want me to give you a shout out.
Have fun, don't sweat the small stuff, be safe, and catch an 8lb bone fish for us.
have fun my brother...
Congrats! She sure sounds like a keeper. Just watch those backcasts while she's laying on the beach. Don't want to spend the honeymoon in the ER.
My congrats as well Joe. Since you've previously mentioned that you never attend this kind of thing, are you having a striper captain marry you?
Congratulations JC. She sounds like a keeper. I wish you both many years of happiness.
Not to bragg or anything but I just had my 23rd anniversery on Nov.1st. I spent the entire day in the treestand while she shopped. It was the perfect day for both. Ha Ha.
Joe,
Congrats, you both caught keepers!!!!!!!
Congrats!
I'm glad to hear you both can cooperate with the fishin' scedual!
Mr Cermele - I just wanted to say THANK YOU and congradulations on your "catch of a life time".
The thank you is for sharing this IMPORTANT piece of your life with us "the un-washed masses" (lol).
I wish you and her a LIFTIME of health,happiness, and Plentiful trips and fish !
Any lady that lets you "slip off for quiet time alone" is/was worth the wait !
Congrats! I'd go with the usual run for the hills joke, but you got yourself a keeper. As a happily married man, I sincerely hope your marriage is as outstanding as mine.
Congrats on the wedding this Sat. I will have to put my fiance to the fishing test next August al well.
I did have to do a double take when you mentioned stripper action two days prior to your wedding.
Congrats Joe,
My girl is the best, loves steelhead and Salmon, and won't fish for anything else, ever.
Good luck and catch the big one.

I am not a smart man, but I do realize that when your wife tells you to go fishing, you go.
Congrats Joe.
Have a wonderful honeymoon and don't forget to stop, take deep breaths and have a great time on the big day.
Congrats, and best wishes.
Congrats to you both. Hope you have many years together.
great looking girl there. best to you both. she know's how you are and loves you like you do her. just keep on sending us the blogs. oh, make sure the honeymoon is done first. congrats and a long and happy life for you both!
Congrats. A wife that will let you fish during the honeymoon. Perfect.
Congtrats~ Very best wishes to you both...
I've been fishing with my wife almost 12 years now...7+ since the wedding. She is a die hard and out fishes me all the time! Our 'song' is "Fishing in the Dark".
May you make as many happy memories together with your lovely bride and your fishing poles as I have ;)
Congratulations! I hope all goes well.
Joe C,
She is a blast, great gal and the catch of a lifetime. I wish you both the best of luck and know you guys will have a wonderful life together. Great pair! Sincerely,
The Filthy Animal
and owner Susanne (in a roundabout way)
Good luck! My wife has been outfishing me for for over 30 years now, and when she went along last fall when I went pig hunting, when I came back to the truck she had my 20 ga. loaded up and was watching for any pigs that came in sight! (She will eat pork, she just doesn't care to hunt!)The area I was hunting in had both open fields and brushy creek bottoms, and the shotgun was in case I decided to try pushing them out rather ambushing them with a scoped rifle.
Hey, this is like signing the wedding book... how cool is that? Congrats from KD also (now that I'm out of the Everglades, thanks for the cover, Tim)... Best wishes and best fishes for many years to come.
Dear Joe,
Please remember that a happy wife is a happy life. She has to be #1 in your life and when she is convinced of that fact, you can then fish all you want.
Congratulations to you both!
Never is too late for a ¡Muchas Felicidades! Now You are on the way.
