The first part is correct. The meaning of "erledigt" is in this case 
is something like "knocked out". 

So Declan, after you'll finished stage 1 (getting married) soon. 
Prepare for stage 2. Reproduction.

Yesterday I enjoyed one of the good sides of reproduction. Vatertag!
(=Father's day. Is there something like this in your cultural 
background?I really have no clue.)
My in-laws came and cared for our daughter and my wife invited me to 
Gunther von Hagen's "Koerperwelten" (Body worlds). And after I was 
sent to some other guys in a Biergarten with the instruction not come 
back to early and sober.
