    2. What branch are you/ your FI/SO? FI is AD AF

    3. Are you having any "military-themed" touches at your wedding? yes - we are doing the sabre arch, cutting the cake with a sabre, etc. 

    4. Do you work/ go school? If so, where? I work retail right now, but FI and I are moving to Egypt after the wedding, so I am trying desperately to get a better job there.

    2. What branch are you/ your FI/SO? FH is Navy

    3. Are you having any "military-themed" touches at your wedding?  FH will be in uniform, we will have the sword arch, our first song is the Naval Hymn (Eternal Father, Strong to Save), we will cut the cake with FH's sabre, the RD will be Navy themed, and the groom's cake will be the Navy Seal!

    4. Do you work/ go school? If so, where?  I work for a defense contractor in Northern Virginia.

    5. If someone gave you $150 tomorrow for no reason, what would you do with it?  Either put it towards our honeymoon or dog fund.

    1. What's your name / wedding date? Kayla - July 3, 2010

    2. What branch are you/ your FI/SO? FI is a Marine

    3. Are you having any "military-themed" touches at your wedding?  Oh yes, we're going slightly overkill. Our wedding is 4th of July weekend so we're doing red and blue as our colors. Mostly red with blue and white accents actually. FI will be in his dress uniform. We have a cake topper that has a marine carrying his bride. We are suppose to do the sword ceremony as well, but if FI hasn't received his commission yet he doesn't want to do it.

    4. Do you work/ go school? If so, where? I work two part time jobs. One at a front desk of a community center and another as a sports writer for a local newspaper.

    5. If someone gave you $150 tomorrow for no reason, what would you do with it? Ummm....wow. Well I would either put it in our wedding account and work on buying or WP presets or my garter or put it towards something else, like our cake deposit....

    If I use it for NWR I'd probably give it to FI b/c he has dental work that needs to be done.

    1. What's your name / wedding date?Christy/24 April 2010
    2. What branch are you/ your FI/SO?We are both Air Force Reserves. He is retiring in June and I have only 2 more years!
    3. Are you having any "military-themed" touches at your wedding?Some: he is wearing his Mess Dress and as we exit  the reception, guests can wave american flags and sparklers. Although neither of us likes the look of Dress Blues, the Mess Dress is very handsome. Plus, we are getting married in a vintage airplane museum and think the uniform will look cool with the old airplanes in pictures! Also, we just wanted to pay homage to our careers in the AF, show our pride in serving and incorporate the thing that brought us together since we met working in the same squadron. Other than those few, small details, this will not be a military themed wedding...except that 95% of our guests are also military:) 
    4. Do you work/ go school? If so, where?Work for Delta Airlines, in the Air Force Reserves and plan to begin work on my Masters this summer
    5. If someone gave you $150 tomorrow for no reason, what would you do with it? Hmmmm....put it towards the wedding!
