I love you! Drink one for me.

Welcome to the board OP

Welcome! My FI is Air Force as well. 

Hike has a ticker! Go baby Hike! Although, is it bad that the first thing I though when I saw a lime was "Hmmmm, I have Coronas in the fridge"?

Welcome! You're getting married on my birthday haha! Let's hear details!

CAB, drink one for me too. I won't be since I'm not feeling well (we think it's an ibuprofen allergy). Mullens, welcome and you must be getting excited with your wedding fast approaching.

Yooo welcome to the board!! One quick thing- If "mullins" is your last name (which I'm pretty sure it is, cuz I know some Mullins) PLEASE HAVE IT DELETED and get a new username! Read the "Read this first" OPESEC/PERSEC sticky. Then come back with your new username and talk with us!!

CAB1217

I'm having one for everyyyyone right now! Even mullins! Which yeah, Binx is right you should probably change that, but fwiw Mullins is an awesome name! Our hotel gave us a giant bottle of champagne for free!!!! Woooo!

CAB- I'm so jelly  >.>...maybe after cat happenings today I will take the offer of getting my drink on at my friends lakehouse tonight. Bring on the St. Patty's day brews!

Edit: Also, welcome OP!

calindi

Of course Mullins shows up on St. Patty's Day.  Of course!

But yes, please do find a new screen name (yes, you have to register again, and yes, you have to use another email address, but yes, it is TOTALLY worth it).  OPSEC and PERSEC are your friends.

I literally squealed when I saw Hike's ticker!  Yayyyy Baby Hike!

Mullins, what day did you get engaged?  We will have been engaged for one year on April 9th, and we're getting married September 1st.  Woot woot for long engagements and low stress!

And Irish, I love the new siggy, and your shoes totally rock (have you worn them since?) and Mr. Irish's socks are awesome, but man are you pale, girl!

Hey girls!! Ok so this is my new name!! Thanks for letting me know, I guess I should start paying attention. Calindi: We will have been engaged a year on April 4th. I am actually just beginning the process!! YIKES, I know it is so soon so I need all the help I can get. My FI just got orders to Pennsylvania so we are getting married before we move, gotta love the military!!! Living in Vegas we could have just gone to a little chapel but I want to have a wedding. We have already chosen the venune and I have my dress. Are colors are black, white, green, and silver. If anyone has any advice I would LOVE to hear it!!!

Yay new name, and yay having your wedding!  I like you already!  Though you've been engaged 5 days longer than me... I think I'll forgive ya!

Figure out a line-item budget, find vendors for each line-item you need to take care of (photographer, videographer, florist, DJ/band, caterer, day-of-coordinator, ceremony, favors, cake, invitations, etc.) and then find people who fit that budget and hire the best one.  Ta-da!  You have a wedding planned!

I don't have any wedding advice but yay for PA!!! I hope you're ready for a big climate change.
