I've been lurking and have posted a little bit, but I don't think I have actually introduced myself.

My name is Nicole and FI is Tommy. We have been together for 3 years and live in the suburbs of NYC with our (almost) 2 year old son. We are getting married on August 15, 2010 (which is getting so close!!!!!! )We are having an outdoor reception/ceremony right along the Hudson River up in Poughkeepsie. I'm going for a vintage/modern/romance theme and the colors are african violet, cobalt blue and silver.

I really like the supportiveness of this board and look forward to sharing ideas with you ladies over the next couple months!

Happy planning and have a great weekend!

How is planning coming for you?

@ TysWife2Be : Well thank you! Its been going OK.somedays I'm like why didn't we JOP it?!? There is just sooo much to think about. But deep down thats not really for us (not knockin it). Early on I had some venue decision issues, from what I've gathered you've been going through them as well. I hope you find your perfect location! But now my biggest worries are all the little loose ends..favors, gifts, food, etc.

@YasJas2011: Thanks for the compliment!

Welcome! Glad you are out of lurk mode...I'm sure you'll continue to enjoy the board. Are you going to do a bio? I want to see this vintage-modern-romance combo...I love elements of each and would love to see how you are bringing them together.

Thanks!! I'm not sure about the bio. Is that the weebly blog thing? This is all new to me. I read a bio of someone from my monthly board and it was so nice but seemed like a lot of work..lol! I am seeing my decor samples this week. I recently learned how to PIP..lol
