10.  When did you get engaged and how did he do it?? At a resturant in Kansas City on Christmas Eve 2011!! He had it set up for the waitress to keep bringing out envelops with little messages for me. The 3^rd one said “I have something to tell you but you have to promise not to get mad.” Of course I was mad at this point & he said the 4^th envelop would tell me what he did…he said I had to stand up & give him a hug before I opened the 4^th one.

22. Favorite wedding dress designer? I have no idea but since my dress is Allure that’s my fav!! Lol.

23. Any advice you can give? I’m not an expert but if I could go back to my engagement I would have waited a little while before picking my bridal party. That’s the only thing I think I’d do over at this point

24. Anything you wish you could change about your wedding?I wish I could have David Tutera give me the grandest wedding ever!

25. Share something about yourself!I’m a very passive person which sometimes my close friends get upset with especially during the wedding planning. I love my family & friends and will bend over backwards for them. Strongly believe there is a reason for everything and even though we don’t know the reason doesn’t mean HE doesn’t have a plan! I love positive people & am very thankful for my knottie sisters! I can’t wait to be done with this degree b/c i’m ready for bigger & better things!  Purple is my favorite color!!! I love sports! Lebron James is my husband! #TeamHEAT!!! Football season is everything to me! I love ballet & will be going to see the Nutcracker alone on Thursday b/c I don't have anyone to come with me but I am perfectly fine with that!  Can’t wait to be a Mrs & I can’t wait to GET A PM FROM SOMEBODY ABOUT BLOWING MY HUSBAND’S MIND!!! lmbo

Hi Latosha..waving

11. When is the Wedding Day? February 23, 2013!!!! 2 weeks after my birthday, 1 week after Valentine’s day & I have to constantly remind him that those are 3 separate days & will NEVER be combined! 

You know how to get him..didnt you girl lol, You want gifts all month long. I know thats right and dont short change it either lol 

I posted about the PM too..read my post !!

ladycane015

lol Thanx MrsBad! And I asked him if he was sure he wanted to do Feb & he said yes lol. It's just after his season ends so thats why he picked February but I think that he believes he gets to kill 3 birds w/ one stone & it's so NOT gonna happen lol.

Hey birthday month twin. Mine is the 6th. I'm definitely with you about the separate gift thing. I got my point across once by giving one gift before. Not FI. It was so funny I lumped birthday and valentines together in June!!!!!!!!! And asked how he liked those apples.

MissusD1116

Aww! The proposal was sweet! Nice to get to know you!

ladycane015

Leatba I just cried laughing!!! That is hilarious to lump his birthday w/ V-day & they're like 4 months apart!!! Love it! I told FI I'd put his w/ Christmas & he says I cant b/c they're a month apart but CLEARLY I can lmbo!!! Thanx MissusD

Great to meet you!

Eric Jerome Dickey’s is the stuff! I'm a BIG fan! I finally was able to fall back in love with his writing again with his last book (AAA). I would recommend the following:

An Accidental Affair

Resurrecting Midnight 

Dying for Revenge 

Waking With Enemies 

Sleeping With Strangers 

Chasing Destiny (Has a "Coldest Winter Ever"  starring Aaliyah feel to it)

Thanx Keyaira!!!!
