Favorite Thing About Your SO: His patience, and kindness.
Least Favorite Thing About Your SO: His indecisiveness. His whole family is the same way, for example we'll make plans to go somewhere and he won't set a time to leave by. It drives me crazy.
Describe Your Personality: Friendly, open, talkative but sometimes short-tempered.

State of Relationship: Dating
How Long You've Been Together: 4 1/2 years
How You Met: Through his sister
Wedding Date (if you're engaged/married): January 3, 1937. That would have been cool, 1337 for a wedding day. But no, we're not engaged yet so N/A
Real Babies: I'd say in 6-10 years I'll come back to this question to update. For now, no.
Fur Babies: Quincy, the beagle/chihuahua/dachund
Loves: Where I live. The architecture, the history (something to do with some type of a revolution ;)...), the autumn foliage. Born and raised!
Hates: I hate when people cut me off, don't use a blinker, or don't let a car change into their lane. Masshole driver? I'll accept that. It is what it is!
/> /> />http://www.masshole.com/driving.html<<<
Pet Peeves: When people chew gum with their mouths open.
Hobbies/Activities: ROTC, School, Work, Cooking, Exercise, Board Games with BF :)
Favorite Thing About Your SO: He gets so passionate about things, for example: school. Straight A's. This kid's incredible.
Least Favorite Thing About Your SO: He can also be passionate about video gaming...when I'm sitting on his bed twiddling my thumbs!
Describe Your Personality: I'm really quiet before I get to know people. I take in the environment and my surroundings. People say I'm funny, but I think they're just shocked when I finally start talking. I'm very nice to people and sometimes I don't know why but I am. I do get road rage though as mentioned above 0_o
Snark Level (1 [low snark] - 10 [high snark]): Pretty low I guess, 3. N00bs and pre-planners don't upset me they just kind of annoy me because they always come in packs. All you other ladies with your quick words get to them first anyway :p
I've Been On TK Since: Summer of 2010 I think?
How You Came to Be On TK: I used to want to be a wedding planner. That was a short lived dream. I work at a florist too so I was always looking at floral arrangments (even for my very distant wedding 0_o). I ended up clicking on "Community" and finding NEY. Thanks, NEY :)
How I like my potatoes: Mashed and Instant. Or scalloped.

Favorite book/author: I almost said "The Help", but that's because I just read it and loved it. My all-time favorite would probably be The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. It's probably that book that got me so interested in the culture. I've taken two years of Arabic Language & Culture classes as well as "The Islamic World" and I'm signed up for "Islam and the Medieval World" for next semester! Once I finish my language classes I can declare and Arabic Studies minor....all that from just asking me my favorite book I'm sorry

He noticed me first, at the rehearsal, when I was rehearsing with the pianist (I did some singing for the ceremony). Gave me his dessert at dinner. We started talking on Facebook when I still lived in NYC, then AIM, then phone. I'd take long walks around Brooklyn and we'd talk until my battery ran out.

How You Came to Be On TK: I was a little batty and looking too much at dresses, flowers, etc., way before I should have been. (Didn't do anything crazy like visit venues or contact vendors, though.) In my defense, people kept telling me they thought my BF was going to propose by Xmas 2010 and it fed the BSC.
How I like my potatoes: Baked with butter, salt, and pepper; sweet potatoes with butter or candied; will admit to liking the pouch mix by Idahoan--they taste most like real.

Favorite book/author: Can't pick! I'm one of the Harry Potter fans on the board, though.

Tell Us Something Interesting About Yourself: I speak conversational French. I make killer buttermilk pancakes from scratch by way of a four-generations-old family recipe.

Tell Us Something Interesting About Yourself: I have some very crazy, irrational fears. I am pretty certain that I will be killed in a random act of violence by a serial killer, or a shark or alligator attack. I think about it way too often, and I am always trying to think of new ways to avoid these dangers. (This is an example of me oversharing, which BF says is a real problem for me).

Age: 25, but I heard a rumor I'll be 26 in October.

Significant Other's Age: 25 (as of 2 weeks ago)

What You Do: Evolutionary Biology Research Scientist, Public Health Master's student in my free time.

What SO Does: Manages construction. Currently working on some big projects.

State of Relationship: Cohabitating for a year after being long distance for almost two years. ETA: ENGAGED! (9/24/2011)

How Long You've Been Together: 3 years 3 months 1 day according to my ticker.

How You Met: College party one month before we graduated. He made out with my friend, I thought he was cute, the rest is history.

Wedding Date (if you're engaged/married): n/a

Real Babies: Not for a whiiiile.

Fur Babies: Nope.

Loves: Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies. Living in NYC. Feeling like a responsible adult. My insanely large family and our traditions. Trying to know/learn about everything. Currently wedding etiquette has my interest.

Hates: NY Giants. Seriously. Also the Cowboys. When people think you "owe" them something just because they did X, Y or Z for you, even though you didn't ask and never expected them to. Cilantro.

Pet Peeves: Whistling. People who walk slow in front of me. People who think their babies are infinitely better than any other baby ever born. Those who don't follow wedding etiquette (clearly I need to stop reading E then...). When someone says "I think" about something that is clearly true, or that they absolutely know (BF is terrible at this and I yell at him every single time).

Hobbies/Activities: Crocheting, reading, TV time with BF, cooking enough for an army when I'm only feeding me and BF, TK obviously, gymnastics.

Favorite Thing About Your SO: He's extremely motivated to work hard and accomplish goals he sets for himself. He gets really clingy when we're alone, and it's freaking adorable. I love how much he loves me. Even when it annoys the sh!t out of me, I love it.

Least Favorite Thing About Your SO: He's Italian, I've got a lot of German in me - our personalities clash when we're upset about something. When we're buying things, he tends to think that the sales person is trying to get him or something. It's annoying. Not everyone is trying to pull one over on a potential customer. I make fun of him for it, and he takes that pretty well, so it doesn't bother me too much anymore.

Describe Your Personality: Shy at first, then I can be very outgoing and loud when I get to know you. I have a huge family, so it's weird to see how open and comfortable I am with them, and how quiet and shy I am with a new group of people.

Snark Level (1 [low snark] - 10 [high snark]): I can get up to a 7 or 8 if the mood strikes.

I've Been On TK Since: July.

How You Came to Be On TK: I lurked for a while after trying to find etiquette on wedding things (someone got engaged and BF were clueless about engagement parties and stuff). I stumbled upon the NEY board and wanted to be friends with everyone. Srsly.

How I like my potatoes: Mashed with butter/sour cream/cream cheese, mashed with roasted garlic and butter, baked with anything (cheddar cheese and broccoli, butter, sour cream, etc.), roasted in the oven with oil, salt and pepper, I also love: potato skins, chips, tater tots, french fries, pierogies, potatoes au gratin. Did I miss anything?

Favorite book/author: LOVED the Hunger Games. I've read almost every book by Irvine Welsh (Trainspotting) and Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club)

Tell Us Something Interesting About Yourself: I have a brown stripe in one of my eyes. They're blue otherwise. I'm also really short. 4'11" short. No I'm not 'legally a midget' (I honestly don't even think that's a thing), and I hate shopping because I can never find anything that fits. I never remember how much I hate shopping until I'm at the mall though.

Favorite Thing About Your SO: His ability to make me smile no matter what and make me feel good in any situation.

Describe Your Personality: Laid back, always up to try new things, generally nice to everyone, hard working, and loyal.

Snark Level (1 [low snark] - 10 [high snark]): 6

I've Been On TK Since: I used to get on here all the time in 2005 my freshman year of college just because I loved looking at all the different wedding ideas. I joined again last June but haven't been on it really until now.

Hates: Mouth breathers/chewers, men talking down to me just because I'm not one of them, Olives, when people wear leggings as pants....the fad was over in the 80's c'mon.

Least Favorite Thing About Your SO: When he shaves he leaves all his hair in the sink. It's gross.

Describe Your Personality: I'm the cynical touchstone for most of my friends. I'm way nicer on boards than I am IRL.

Snark Level (1 [low snark] - 10 [high snark]): I'm going with 7. I'm snarky in real life but I don't really cross into full on evil unless absolutely necessary.

How You Came to Be On TK: My older sister was getting married. She lives in NOLA and I'm in Boston so it was great for me to see what she was planning. Her wedding was beautiful.

How I like my potatoes: I really only like potato chips and fries. I'm the worst Boston, Irish girl ever.

Favorite book/author: Empire Falls by Richard Russo. For some reason it resonates with me. I read it every year.
