How did you and your fiance meet? 'At church'? Well, I had major surgery about 2yrs ago and he was new at my church, and I hadn't even met him, but he kept hearing my name being prayed for in church, so he took the name down and started praying for me. Few months later, a mutual friend, made us connect and the rest was history 10. When did you get engaged and how did he do it?? Mother's Day 2012. We were travelling from a friend's graduation in Huntsville, AL. We made a pit stop in Nashville for a dinner cruise. He was acting sooo strange, but I had told him am not one for public proposals so I was like is he? No he wouldn't. When we got off the boat, I was so relieved that the 'impending crisis' had been averted. Lol. I don't like attention ladies and would not have been happy with a public proposal. Anyway, we got to the car and he opened my door to let me in. I was so distracted till he was on one knee saying what I can't remember for the life of me. Lol but I did hear the question and he had to ask for my answer while I recovered from my shock. 11. When is the Wedding Day? April 21, 2013 12. Where is the ceremony and reception? Swan Lake Resort, Indiana 13. What are your wedding colors? Eggplant, fuschia and black accents 14. Where are you honeymooning? Punta Cana, Dominican Republic 15. Favorite wedding vendor so far? My florist & linen lady. LOVE HER!!! 16. Biggest wedding splurge? Oh geez everything is overpriced, but maybe decor 17. What is something you wish you could have at the wedding but don't? Pin lighting:(((( 18. Another knottie wedding you'd like to attend? All of Ya'lls 19. Favorite book? Hard to pick. Bible is my all time FAV and any other inspirational books 20. Favorite movie? Enough 21. Favorite tv show? 24....when it was still around 22. Favorite wedding dress designer? Maggie Sottero;) hint hint 23. Any advice you can give? Your parents will add folk to the guest list, breathe and pick your battles;) 24. Anything you wish you could change about your wedding? Guest list 25. Share something about yourself! I love people. Love getting to know and learn new things. I can't wait to marry the love of my life. God truly saved the best for last for me, and I couldn't say thanks to Him enough;)
