Re: Getting to know your fellow March 2013 brides!

  • Name: Jenni

    Age: 25

    Fiance's name: Ross

    Fiance's age: 26, 27 in 5 days :-)

    How did you two meet? I was in a sorority and he was in a fraternity. I had some really good friends in his fraternity and starting hanging out there a lot when he first joined. We hung out a LOT. Like, we were pretty much inseperable, but I just saw him as a friend for so long. Finally one day it hit me - why do I keep going after all these terrible guys when an amazing one is right in front of me?! I'm so glad I finally woke up! Haha.

    What hobbies do you have? Video games, photography and just hanging out with friends!

    Favorite sports teams? MN Twins, MN Vikings (I like the abuse apparently), MN Wild, SCSU Huskies (hockey - Final Five this weekend!! Woot!!). My favorite non MN teams are the Baltimore Orioles and Ravens. I have family out there so I feel obligated to support them :-)

    Any pets? 2 kitties, both about a year old. Asher is grey and white, Midnight is black (FI has wonderful creativity with names, haha).

    What do you do for a living? I work two part time jobs. I work at a bank where I open mail and verify checks. I LOVE this job. The perks are totally awesome :-)  I also work at a retail clothing store. It was my favorite store even before I started working there so the discount is nice!

    What does your fiance do? Right now he's an assistant manager at a hardware store. He works an hour away (even though there's one like 2 blocks away... long story) and works crazy hours so he's actually hoping to get a job at the bank I work at!

    Favorite type of music? Pretty much anything. My two most listened to Pandora stations are today's hits and Disturbed radio, haha. I also LOVE the Beatles. I get my love of music from my dad, though he doesn't like country or harder rock and I do.

    If you could have your absolute dream wedding, NO restrictions, what would you do? I'd bring all my friends and family out to Ireland and have the ceremony on the bluffs! Wouldn't that be gorgeous? I've always wanted to go to Ireland and getting married there would be amazing. The reception would have amazing food and a fully stocked open bar of course. Lots of dancing and fun. If I won the lottery, I'd totally do something like this!

    Hi Jenni, Nice to meet you! I think you have such great ideas and I love your energy! It seems like we have a lot in common!

     

    Name: Janna

     

    Age: 28

     

    Fiance's name: Sean

     

    Fiance's age: 28

     

    How did you two meet? We met online and dated long distance for a very long time. We will be celebrating 9 years together this Month, next year our wedding will be just before our 10th anniversary 

     

    What hobbies do you have? Video games, computers, cooking, yoga, board games

     

    Favorite sports teams? We are somewhat divided right now. Sean is from MN and very loyal to all his MN teams (except the wild, he never cared much for hockey) I'm from Ontario Canada so I didn't watch a lot of sport growing up, except hockey. But now we live in Boston where there are tons of passionate sports fans so its kinda exciting to get into it. Teams would be, The Bruins, The Twins, the Vikings I guess. Though it is pretty fun to cheer for the Pats from time to time. 

     

    Any pets? 2 Cats. Sean gave them to me about 5 years ago. 

     

    What do you do for a living? I work for TripAdvisor as a user experience researcher. Generally, I make the website easier to use. 

     

    What does your fiance do? Sean is the office manager of a pest control company. 

     

    Favorite type of music? I could listen to most anything. Tend to prefer the top 40 stations recently but favorite musicians are jack Johnson, incubus and rhcp. Sean has pretty much the opposite taste in music. Likes 80 rock and anything that hasn't been on the radio in years. 

     

    If you could have your absolute dream wedding, NO restrictions, what would you do? I would have a feast of awesome food. If I had unlimited budget I would definitely blow it all on the food and making sure everyone enjoyed themselves with a completely open and stacked bar.

  • @Janna - We do seem to have a lot in common! Yay for MN sports! Haha. You mentioned something I forgot - I LOVE yoga! I used to belong to LA Fitness and that was the main thing I did there. There is a gym at my new job and they do yoga sometimes so I'm excited to start doing it again!

    What kinds of video games do you play? I've played a few but I always go back to WoW. It won't let me go! Haha.

    Name:  Beverly

    Age: 26

    Fiance's name: Luis

    Fiance's age:  34

    How did you two meet?  I went out with a friend to her boyfriend's going away party.  Luis is a friend of the boyfriend. We met that night and here we are 2.5 years later!  

    What hobbies do you have?   I'm always shopping...and it's such a bad hobby...now I am becoming a hoarder!  I also like to read on the kindle on my phone and I go on forums a lot.  Luis has been liking the shooting range a lot lately and he plays video and computer games.  We both love to travel and look for places to eat/drink!  Unfortunately that's not a priority right now.  Wedding comes first lol

    Favorite sports teams?   Luis is from California and he is definitely a Lakers fan.  I am not really a sports girl so I am a Lakers fan too when I fell in love with him. 

    Any pets?  We have two gray cats.  We got the boy from his mom and adopted the little girl so they can have each other when we're not home.

    What do you do for a living?  I am a nurse.

    What does your fiance do?  He is a network analyst.

    Favorite type of music?  We always just listen to the radio in the car.  When we are not driving we like to go on youtube or whatever and watch silly things on the internet more than listen to music.

    If you could have your absolute dream wedding, NO restrictions, what would you do?  I will travel the world with my family and friends and have a small wedding ceremony at each destination based on the culture.  It will be so fun to get all kinds of blessing everywhere!

  • @jenni I love yoga, when I moved to boston for this job I fell out of my regular yoga routine. But slowly I've been getting back into as part of my wedding prep work out. I've been lucky enough to go on saturdays for the past few weeks. Everytime I go I feel better, calmer and healthy. Definitely a favorite.

    As far as video games, we never got into WoW. I'm mostly a puzzel gamer. Finished up the new Zelda about a month ago, Loved Portal, and I play a lot of Dr. Mario. Sean is into COD and Starcraft as his main additions but we play a lot of Smash Bros together too. We are fairly competitive but in all honesty he is way better at video games than I am.

    I have a lot of friends that play Starcraft. I've thought about doing a free trial to check it out. I've never played Portal myself but my old roommate (who I swear has every Xbox game ever, haha) used to play it all the time! I also love the fun games like Smash Bros and stuff. FI has been into Minecraft (his friend had a server) and he just got done with a free trail of SW:TOR. The graphics in that game are AMAZING! Oh and Skyrim of course. I played it a little but I'm totally not used to gaming on the Xbox!

    We had a few classes together in our first two years of college, but we didn't officially meet until first semester of our junior year. We met at an Engineering Scholars Club event. I was the clubs activities coordinator and we were having a video game night. I am not really into the types of video games they were playing, but I had to be there to help out.
