Flowers - FI's mom and aunt are doing them :)

    Welcome.

    Whats the date you started dating?  Do you like wine? Favorite Sports team?

    Thanks!

    We started dating 6/13/2008...it was Friday the 13th and we saw "The Happening" and went out for ice cream :)

    I actually don't drink; I've been sober for 10 years and my fiance has been sober for 6 years. I used to like wine though! (a little too much, lol)

    Die hard Red Sox and Patriots fan for life! How about you?

    What are your wedding colors?

     

  • Options
    We're looking at a deep plum color for BM dresses...flowers are going to be brighter though, with yellow and oranges. I think that would look good with the dark dresses.  Other than that, the venue we're using has lots of gardens and flowers and lanscaping and there's a fireplace and lots of decorations inside so I won't need too much in addition to that.

    How about you?

    Dark violet, light pink, and peacock. The BM dresses are peacock. The flowers are the violet and pink, some white with peacock feathers added.

    snippet, he definitely enjoys teasing me about that fact, and then says we get along because he is "so mature for his age". So ridiculous! And thanks to you and McSteph for the welcomes! Will try to participate more and not always lurk so much :p
