I've been lurking on here ever since I was maid of honor in a friend's wedding over two years ago. After meeting at a wedding in Seattle over four and a half years ago and thru two years of dating California to Florida, a year and a half of dating Tennessee to Florida, and almost a year of living together Ryan and I finally became engaged on September 11, 2009! Yeah! Who said long distance can't work?!We're planning for a Sept 2010 wedding in Chicago. I look forward to seeing and gathering a lot more information from all the lovely ladies of these Knot boards. You've been soooooo helpful already. Thanks!
