When are you getting married? 

EDIT: June 30, 2012

Where are you getting married (or where would you like to get married)? 

Ceremony is at Edenton Street UMC in Downtown Raleigh and the reception is at The State Club on NC State's Centennial Campus

So far, what's your favorite little detail? 

I'm really excited about getting to wear my great grandmother's diamond and sapphire bracelet (technically something old, borrowed and blue!). We don't have too many other little things figured out yet.

Have you tried cake yet (cake is good!)? 

Not yet...but I'm looking forward to it!

What do you like to do, aside from plan your wedding? 

I work as a marketing assistant for the commercial division of a real estate/property management/building company

Are you down for GTG's? 

Depends on when they are and if I have time...things have been crazy busy lately!

What makes you happy? 

Warm weather, sunny days, spending time with my family and friends, having my FI not having five billion things going on, monograms, cocktail parties and tailgating for NC State football games

EDIT*: I just realized it said what do you -like- to do, not "what do you do:

So let me actually answer the question...I like to cook and find new recipes for unhealthy foods that are healthy, I'm trying to like working out, tennis, look at decorating blogs and want to redo my apartment.

Shannon

When are you getting married?
9/10/11

Where are you getting married (or where would you like to get married)?
Sacred Heart Cathedral, in downtown Raleigh, and then reception at The Royal, accross the street from Meredith College

So far, what's your favorite little detail?
Our invites. After (too) much looking, i designed ours and will be printing them next month.

Have you tried cake yet (cake is good!)?
YES! this would be my 2nd fav detail. I really wanted to make my own cake. I make cakes for EVERYTHING in our group. Between the DIY flowers and invites, I was talked out of this BUT found a baker, Ashley of Ashley's Cakes, that uses the same exact cake stencil I was planning on using. One look at that stencil and I knew is was cake fate.

What do you like to do, aside from plan your wedding?
FI is a NCSU alum, so we spend a lot of time in the fall tailgating. We also have a black lab, Chloe, who keeps us on our toes. Between Chloe and my 5 "neices and nephews" [read my bff's and FI's frat brothers' kids who i adore] all under the age of 4, FI and I find time to hang out with our neighbors. We have neighborhood Wii bowling parties and play kickball. Oh yeah, you know you are jealous lol

Are you down for GTG's?
Sure!

"say it wit ya chest" - this was actually a FB post from one of my BM. I have no idea what they are talking about, but her DH likes it.

making other people happy - total people pleaser. Which is an issue when planning a wedding!

Wanna ask me something? Go for it!
what was your favorite pre-wedding moment?

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Come out Come out... : I have a couple of moments ... 1. Picking my dress all on my own. I'd gone with friends before, but felt like their opinions were outweighing mine. So I went and looked and found my dress :o). 2. Putting the deposit on our venue. It really made everything feel like it was set in motion.<strong> 3. When Olga made my MIL and SIL sit in the back of my ity bity car because my dress needed the whole front seat (so it wouldnt wrinkle). There's a story behind that moment that's rather funny</strong> 4. Spending the night with my Grammy one night at the hotel and just talking about life and how things will be.  She's my hero and I treasure every moment I have with her. Have ya'll had any moments yet ? :)

I keep forgetting to ask you if your dress was the one with the 35 point-bustle?  Olga said that's the record and I remember you saying you set it :)  Mine's only a measley 5!

Have you tried cake yet (cake is good!)?  For the groom's cake yes -- and it was AWESOME!!!  (the wedding cake is booked through some place different because it's with our package from the venue). We have to do our wedding cake tasting next time we can both get to Charlotte and I cannot WAIT to do it!!

What makes you happy?  Relaxing at home, shopping, a great ride on a great (heck, a good) horse.... Playing with our dogs and watching our Lab swim to her hearts content.  Having a patient tell me how we've made their family complete.  It's a wide variety.  A good glass of wine.  Oh yeah -- Kyle makes me happy too

I found this fabric at Printer's Alley and my college roommate is sewing it into 16" squares to put on the table.  That fabric--platinum with black and ivory stitching pulled a lot of other things together for me--and it was inexpensive.  Always a bonus!

Have you tried cake yet (cake is good!)? Cake is very good!  Especially almond pound cake from Edible Art, which is making our cake.  Yum!!  They always do my birthday cakes, too.

HillShmill

I've been engaged and lurking for almost a year now!  I've finally started to plan this shindig so you'll be seeing me around a bit more.  Here's my intro:

What's your name or nickname?
- Hi everyone - I'm Hillary!

When are you getting married?
- Nothing is planned yet but some day in May 2012.  I'm thinking May 12, 2012 sounds nice

Where are you getting married (or where would you like to get married)?
- Again, no offical plans yet, but we'll be getting married along the beach in southern NC.  Wilmington area, Topsail, Ocean Isle...they're all beautiful!

So far, what's your favorite little detail?
- I found this awesome company called Botanical Paperworks that has a wedding stationary line.  It's paper with wildflower seeds imbedded in it so you can plant the paper and flowers will grow from it!  We're either doing our favors or thank you cards with this paper.

Have you tried cake yet (cake is good!)?
- Not yet! But I agree, cake is good

What do you like to do, aside from plan your wedding?
- I just got into photography so I'm planning on spending a lot of time wandering around the Raleigh area taking pictures.  I also LOVE the beach, camping, and reading.  And, my FI is a homebrewer so I enjoy drinking beer as well

Are you down for GTG's?
- Sure!

What is the most random thing you've heard this week?
- My FI had to have a safety meeting at work this week because someone microwaved oatmeal and started a fire.  There's now a sign on his microwave at work that says "Think about what you're mcrowaving!"  This is at an engineering firm...you'd think they'd know better!

What makes you happy?
- Those first few warm days when you can just feel that spring is right around the corner.

Wanna ask me something? Go for it!
- Looking back on your wedding, what did you spend money on that you really could have done without?
