You're getting married on my birthday haha. Welcome tell us more!

kara811

Oh heck, there is a Lurker. Hi and welcome!!!

CozyHeart13

1. From IA, stationed in SC
2-4. No answers ( But I'm good with that right now.
5. Air Force
6. I second what Kanuckle said - Mexican is amazing!
7. My all time favorite book is The Giver, but it's kind of a kid's book (I read it in 3rd grade-ish, and then probably once a year after that until I graduated and realized it was a kid's book and I wasn't a kid anymore) Also love the HP books and Brad Thor books.

Kanuckle

Thanks for the welcome everyone! 

Our wedding is going to be at FI's family church, with the reception at a nearby winery. Other details are slowly coming together, but I'm not much of a planner so I'm not quite as on top of things as I probably should be. I'm hoping to make the next big push in planning this weekend. 

Anything else you want to know? Ask away! 

ggirl2001

What do you do? School? Work? How's military life been like thus far? Are you guys long distance or living together?

Posted by ggirl2001[/QUOTE]

<div>We're both lawyers. I just graduated from law school last year and am doing a fellowship program right now and looking for a job near FI's post. We've been semi long distance for our entire relationship, meaning we've been a few hours away so we got to see each other a few times a month. Luckily that was still true for the first phase of his JAG training. But now he's moved on to the next phase and then he goes straight to his post after that, so we'll be long distance until the wedding.</div><div>
</div><div>Still getting acquainted with military life since he just started in October. It's not ideal at times, but I know it could be much worse. And I think it just takes some time to get used to it all. Even though it can be difficult, I know he's doing something he enjoys and is proud of, so that makes it worth it. Just have to remind myself of that when I get frustrated. :) </div>

Ok the big important question. What are your thoughts on JOP's and people lying about it to have a "big wedding"

kara811

another lurker? Fun! I also love Sophie Kinsella. She is high-larious. About the JOP, I really don't care if people choose to JOP then have a VR, my problem with it lies with the lying and calling it a wedding, cus technically it isn't. I also get irritated when some couples do it for the extra money or to be together, because those aren't really reasons to rush a marriage.
