Hi All,
I posted a few weeks ago, but felt I should write to introduce myself to everyone. I'm a very new knottie and only got engaged about three weeks ago.
A little about myself....I grew up in Upstate New York, went to university in Buffalo, worked for Hillel at another university in New York, then move to Boston after graduation where I have worked in Marketing ever since.
In Dec/Jan 2009, I went toI srael during my winter break from my MBA program, to study at a women's seminary in Jerusalem. A classmate invited me to the kotel tunnel tours where I met my beshert. The only problem was he was Australian by way of South Africa.
Fast forward to today, we have been together for over two years, have taken many long distance trips between Melbourne and Boston, I lived there for a year, he lived here for three months. Finally we decided to settle in Australia to start our life together. We got engaged April 2nd in Australia.
Our wedding will be in Florida. My grandparents are ill and cannot travel, plus his Aunt/Uncle/Cousins live there. I also want to get married as soon as possible, but his twin siblings are still in college and don't get a break until end of the November.
Therefore, I finally set a date this weekend 1/8/12. This is our three year anniversary of meeting at Kotel in Jerusalem.
I am still in the mist of finding a venue/caterer/photographer/band and all that good stuff in Florida. I am planning a very traditional jewish wedding, rich with the customs of our culture.
Anyways, thanks for reading and I look forward to being part of this board.
One question to start with, the dress - I need a modest dress, it can be lace/see-through up top, but must be 3/4 sleeves. Does anyone have any suggestions for me of where to go? I am in Boston now, but go to NYC quite frequently.
