I just wanted to take a quick minute to introduce myself since I would like to start taking advantage of all the wonderful info & tips that the discussion boards provide. I'm also looking forward to 'talking' & 'meeting' some new brides-to-be. I was very surprised & pleased to see the discussions can be grouped according to your wedding info...very neat! Anyway, my name is Lauren & my fiance proposed back in April while we were on our vacation in the Carolinas. We decided on 2014 because we're both currently working full time & going to school part time. We should both be done with our degrees by the end of next year. Plus, we figured that would give us some much needed time to save up money & plan! We've only just begun the whole planning process but did finally decide on May 3rd, 2014 as our official wedding date...very exciting! Once again, I look forward to all the info the discussions have to offer & 'meeting' some 2014 brides-to-be!
