1.  How many days until you get married?  428! It sounds like forever but time is flying!

2.  What has been the most fun during your wedding planning process so far?

Picking the venue and the anticipation of it all. I also LOVED picking out my dress!

3.  Where will you be getting married?

Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida-- about a 2.5 hour drive from my house!

4.  What is one thing you can tell us about yourself that makes you unique?

On a silly note: I'm seriously double jointed. I can turn my feet BACKWARDS. Not kidding. It's gross but people love when I do it (ya know... it's icky but you can't stop looking, lol!).

On a serious note: I like to think that I am a fairly whimiscal, fun person who brings a lot of uniqueness to situations. I can get along with most everyone and find that most people are comfortable around me.

5.  Tell us about how you and your FI met  - how long have you been together?
FI and I met 10 years ago (almost!) when our moms started working together. They became friends so we started seeing more of each other. We became close and things blossomed from there. We are high school sweethearts (well, middle school sweethearts, really) and grew up together. We're best friends and I knew from day one that Max was special. I never gave up on us and here we are! So blessed.

We've been together 6 years this December and we are getting married on our 7 year dating anniversary!

Buying the dress, it was a painless and fun experience.

In San Francisco

 

4.  What is one thing you can tell us about yourself that makes you unique?

5.  Tell us about how you and your FI met  - how long have you been together?

FI and I meet at a mutual friend’s birthday party.  We started talking one month later, the next day we went on a date and never stopped!  We have been together for over 2 ½ years and by the time we are married we will have been together for 3 years and 1 month I think.

I know I already introduced myself, but I like surveys

1.  How many days until you get married?  

I have no idea -- I don't keep a day countdown and I'm too lazy to figure it out . It's exactly three months from today though! 

2.  What has been the most fun during your wedding planning process so far?

Deciding on decor and little details that really showcase mine and FI's personality. Sometimes it seems like just random stuff, but then other times we step back and realize, "wow, this is really a reflection of us" which I really like. We also designed our own invitations, which I LOVED and was one of my favorite things to do because FI and I had the same amount of interest in it (he's not as into some of the crafty things as I am, but he's good with graphic design so he enjoyed working on that)

3.  Where will you be getting married?

FI's childhood church in Milwaukee, WI

4.  What is one thing you can tell us about yourself that makes you unique?

I'm a fairly passionate person...if I decide I "love" something, I'm all in. I keep little Christmas things around throughout the year because it's my favorite holiday and time of season. If I find a cause or organization I love, I'll talk about it with everyone and anyone that will listen. I particularly love talking about the vendors that have been fabulous to work with

5.  Tell us about how you and your FI met  - how long have you been together?

We met sometime in middle school, but became friends sometime in high school, around sophomore or junior year. We went to junior prom together as friends. We didn't talk much in college, but both still counted each other as one of our best friends -- we were just the kind that could just talk for hours once every couple months. Junior year of college I broke up with my ex and realized I had feelings for FI. We started talking more and more, and started dating a few months later. We've been a couple now for about a year and a half. When we talk about it now, we both think that we probably had feelings for each other pretty much that whole time that were just never brought to the surface. But everything happens for a reason, and I think we needed those few years just as friends to learn and grow as individuals.

Yay so glad we all can do this survey!!

1. How many days until you get married?  
239! I remember when it was over 600, where has the time gone?!?

2.  What has been the most fun during your wedding planning process so far?

I really enjoyed the cupcake tasing. They are so yummy! We are having 3 different flavors (key lime w/ lime curd filling, orange dreamsicle w/ orance curd filling, and vanilla w/ raspberry filling)

3.  Where will you be getting married?
We will be getting married at the college where FI went to school. The school has so much history and character. I knew it was where we would get married, even before he proposed.

4.  What is one thing you can tell us about yourself that makes you unique?

I may have to come back for this one....

5.  Tell us about how you and your FI met  - how long have you been together?
FI and I meet when he was room mates with my brother at college. FI was visiting another room mate in SC on vacation and my family was also vacationing in SC and we all met up one day. We had an instant bond that was natural and normal. I knew from the first day he was someone special. The end of this month will make 4 years for us.

1.  How many days until you get married?  

245! Tomorrow will be 8 months to go!

2.  What has been the most fun during your wedding planning process so far?

I think so far my favorite part was the food tasting. It was so yummy! I can't wait for the wedding when I get to have it again. I'm also really excited about the take home bride and groom basket! LOL

3.  Where will you be getting married?

Charleston,SC

4.  What is one thing you can tell us about yourself that makes you unique?

I'm not really sure...I'm usually pretty good at remembering dates.

5.  Tell us about how you and your FI met  - how long have you been together?
FI and I aren't really sure where/how we met.  My cousin and his brother have been friends for years, so we think we first met at my cousin's house. He says the first time he saw me I was eating pizza. (This is probably true!) September marked our 4 year anniversary!

1.  How many days until you get married?  We've been married since June 11th.
2.  What has been the most fun during your wedding planning process so far?ummm...being married?  But, really, the "picking" part was fun (dresses for the BMs and me, flowers, invitations, colors, food)...the "doing" part wasn't so much fun.
3.  Where will you be getting married?We had our wedding at my aunt's church in Roanoke, VA.  My home church doesn't have a center aisle, and that's something I wasn't giving up.
4.  What is one thing you can tell us about yourself that makes you unique?My husband and I shared our first kiss at our wedding ceremony, which is something I committed to when I was 16.
5.  Tell us about how you and your FI met  - how long have you been together?We met in English class at Liberty University on August 25, 2008.  We started "courdating" on January 10, 2009 and got engaged on February 14, 2010.

@Faith- I thought the same thing when I first read it!

1.  How many days until you get married?  

71!!!!

2.  What has been the most fun during your wedding planning process so far?

In all honesty, my favorite part was picking up FI's ring! It wasn't my first choice, but it's what he really wanted. When I got to the store to get it I put it on (FI has really small fingers, it fits my pointer finger!) and fell in love with it! I can't wait to give it to him!

3.  Where will you be getting married?

The church my dad's a minister at.

4.  What is one thing you can tell us about yourself that makes you unique?

Ummm....FI jokes that I'm a perfect teacher because I like the same things as them! Disney movies are my favorite!

5.  Tell us about how you and your FI met  - how long have you been together?
FI and I met on a charter bus January 2005! His two best friends, whom I've known since I was 7, went to my church growing up and he came with them on a trip to Islands of Adventure. He sat behind me and we talked the whole time! We started dating the day after I turned 16, but saw each other maybe two or three times over the next few months due to us alternately being out of town. We decided to call it quits, but remained close friends. We decided that we still had feelings for each other and wanted to really try again. We've been together ever since! January will be 6 years since we got back together!

4.  What is one thing you can tell us about yourself that makes you unique?

I love science, and occasionally get excited about random science things. 

5.  Tell us about how you and your FI met  - how long have you been together?
FI was my brother-in-law's roomate in collage, and was an usher in their wedding.  We actually have a picture from their wedding with both of us in it (how many people have a picture together of one year BEFORE the met?), but we didn't meet for real until over a year later, after my sister's graduation party.  We've been together a year and three months, we got engaged after nine months.  It just felt 'right' for both of us.

Well, since the other "oldies" are playing, I will too!

1.  How many days until you get married?  

oy vey.  TK used to tell me everytime I logged on, but apparently it's been so long that even TK isn't keeping track anymore!  Let's see, 8 years x 365 days = 2920, plus another 10 months is 300 days, give or take, plus 11 days....so, about 3231 days.  In other words, it'll be 9 years in December!
