Texas-Dallas and Ft. Worth

Introducing Myself!

Hello!  I have been lurking for a few weeks now and feel it is time to introduce myself!

My name is Danielle and I am getting married on Jan 20th, 2012 in Plano,TX.  My DF's name is Brian and we have a 2.5 year old little girl who we absolutely adore.  We got engaged on 2-12-11 in California (where we were both living at the time) after being together for nearly 6 years!  We have been living between Southern CA & Fort Worth for the past few years (6 months here 6 months there) due to my DF career, however, we are now here permanently!  I know a TON about weddings from working in the industry the past 4 years, but that was in California, so I know NOTHING about the venues/professionals/price points here which is making planning a bit challenging for me!  (Hence why I have been lurking on the local boards).  I must say that I have seen a lot of great resources listed here in the local boards and have actually contacted some vendors that you girls have recommended in other posts. 

At any rate, thanks for reading!  I look forward to your help & advice!

    I did Hair & Makeup :)  it was fun but a lot of work & long hours & missed weekends with my FI & DD.  But don't worry, I won't be on here promoting for it bc I don't do it out here!

    Yeah I bet with long hours in bridal season! I think that would be fun doing hair and makeup!

    haha it was fun but after so long, just as anything else its just "work".  Usually if we had a good dynamic with the bridal party it would be like having a big slumber party getting everyone ready. Other times, though, if we had high stress gals or bridezillas it wasn't so fun and you just wanted to be out as fast as possible!  Not to mention being on my feet for sometimes 5-6 hours & leaving home at ridiculous times (3am-4am) to start getting girls ready for morning weddings, yes, people really do that!
