Nice to meet me!

FubbaMoozer

Just joined today.  Looked around at all the boards here, and ya'll seem pretty chill. 

So, ask questions if you'd like.  Hopefully I'll be posting around here once in a while! That's all.  Have a great night!

ricksang

Well aren't you full of yourself! :P

When's your wedding?

LesPaul

Hi Fubba!  What's your puppy's name?  Is he a silky terrier?

FubbaMoozer

Lol. Yeah just kidding

Next October. Probably the 15th.

FubbaMoozer

LesPaul, it's a "yorkie"... but not really.  I would say I'd been ripped off, but the resulting mutt of terriers I got from the deal is really spectactular.

She has little stumpy legs and huge ears.  And she's an idiot.  But oh-so-cute.

ricksang

Cool. My wedding was in Oct. It's the best month to get married. Welcome!

J&K10910

Oh, another NCer.  Hi.  Don't suck, ok?

When's your wedding?  Do you have anymore pets?  How did you meet your FI?  Have you lurked at all?

Shut up :(

FubbaMoozer

Oh, and oops, her name is Elphie.  And I call her Fubba.  Because Elphie sounds too refined.

LesPaul

She's a cutie.  There are a lot of pet lovers on this board.

I promise I'll try to not suck.  I guess I can't make guarantees, but I suppose I have yet to be told of suckiness, so we're on the right track.

I kinda have four, but they don't all live together.  I live part-time with my fiance, part-time with my parents (long irritating story), so I have two dogs at my parents', and two cats at my fiance's.

Met my fiance at a mutual friend's Halloween party.  Nothing romantic or anything... we met and dated and now we're engaged.  Lol.

Aaand no, not much lurking other than today.  But I was told that knot boards are helpful for planning, so I joined up and headed over.  Not sure how much I'll like it for the usefulness in planning a wedding, but seems to be fun for non-wedding stuff... Oh well.

Your puppy is very cute, and hi!

ricksang

Yeah we talk about a lot of stuff on this board. One post could be about wedding dresses and the next post could be about the death penalty. This board is a free for all

Well, you know that now we must hear the long and irritating story.

Halloween parties are awesome.  Even more awesome if you meet your future fiance there.

Believe it or not, we can actually be very wedding helpful too.  You just have to not be an idiot (so far you don't seem to be an idiot, so keep that up) and accept feedback well.  We don't get a ton of wedding questions on this board, but if you ask them, we'll answer.  We have a bunch of already marrieds that can give been there, done that advice, and a bunch of plannings who are probably going through some of the same things.  So ask away :)

Just don't ask us how to fire a bridesmaid, how to keep a guest/family member/WP member from giving birth on your wedding day, or how to demand your parents double your budget.

This reminds me that we're long overdue for a lunch and question post.  But I had a bunch of good ideas awhile ago, and then work fried my brain and I can't remember any of them.  Hmpf.

ricksang

Dang JK, you always had good lunch threads. I hope you bring them back soon.

HA!  I saw a post like that on the Wedding Party forum today; someone trying to boot someone. Is it a common occurrence? Jeebus.

And, well I mean it's a little lame.  But my mom told me she would strongly oppose to and question my overall morals (harsh) if I moved in with my then-boyfriend.  She said we needed to be engaged.  Then we got engaged, and he was moving, so I decided to move with him.  Only to get a, "Well, you're not married YET.  You need to stay at home at LEAST twice a week. This is still your home." Sigh.

Speak for yourself J&K I try not to helpful, if I can help it...j/k. I just have no wedding advice.

But welcome Fubba!

J&K10910

ZOMGWTFBBQFRED IT'S BEC!!!

And...I kind of want to pat your parents on the head.  Not for their beliefs or anything, because I get that (even though I don't agree), but because she changed her tune.  That was silly.

Hi J&K!   Your dress is pretty. NFT.

Posted by BecW2be[/QUOTE]

Ah well you will definitely appreciate all of this Wicked goodness then:
My name is Nessa.  Not the best namesake in the world, but I'm alright with it.
My fiance's last name is Rose.  My married name will be Nessa Rose.  Baha.

Edit to add: I guess maybe it's not smart to put my future married name AND residence city on the board.  And since the name thing is too good to not share, I guess the city goes. Sorry Bec.

See, I try TO be helpful, but then I just ramble on incoherently for awhile and add a "So...basically I'm not helpful" disclaimer at the end.  But everyone loves box kitty.  So I get away with it.

Thanks Bec!  I missed your face.  And your funny.  And your awesome.

holyfuckingshit. Nessa Rose. BRILLIANT! How old are you? I'm 29 + a few.

I'm in Charlotte by way of Hickory.

Oh, good, I'm glad you saw the city before I decided it was probably a good idea to delete it.  Lol.  Glad you appreciate the name as much as I do; it's pretty damn exciting.

I'm 26.  :)

Yes we forgive you for box kitty's sake. And that beautiful dress.

Wow you have lurked for no time at all and have already posted and have not gotten flamed yet! Plus you got tips that other newbies never get. Lucky you. But I like you since I started posting the same day I signed up to, you got some balls. And I love that your name will be Nessa Rose! Welcome.

Nebb

Im almost done reading wicked for the first time so I actually know what you guys are talking about!!

FubbaMoozer

Thanks Jelique! Yeah, I mean I guess it probably sucks big time to get flamed, but I also think I have a pretty thick internet-skin.  Not a real-life-skin, by the way, that one's pretty thin. And I get it cut up and bruised all the damn time.

Nebb, if you read the book first, I might recommend not seeing the musical. It might seriously piss you off.

Promise I won't give anything away.
