Welcome to the Christian Wedding Board!

Well We now have a Board and a Moderator!  My name is Koretta, and I'm excited to be your moderator!  Our board is pretty new, but so feel free to make any suggestions for our board via private message!  We want to keep our board exciting so I'm looking for ways to make sure we're all having fun on here!

Things I have found fun from other boards I've been on, Knottie of the Day,  Wednesday Confessions,  Virtual Knottie Showers, etc.  Any other ideas are greatly appreciated!

For the Roll Call!  It's the Christian Knottie Board, so let's try to to reflect some of our religious views in our post:

First Name for you & FI: Fletcher & Emily
Wedding Date: June 11, 2011
Special Religious Ceremony if any at your Wedding: We're having a Covenant Marriage Ceremony (www.covenantmarriage.com for more info, www.covenantmarriage.com/ceremony.php for ceremony "scripts"), we're doing the Cord of Three Strands, one of our pastor's is giving a Gospel Message during the ceremony, and in memory of my Grandfather, who was a member of the Gideons for years, (the people who put the Bibles in the hotel drawers, etc) my dad, who is a current member, is giving New Testaments to our guests as they come through the receiving line.
City You Live In : Live in New Castle, VA (MUCH smaller than New Castle, DE), going to Liberty in Lynchburg, VA, getting married in Roanoke, VA
Wedding Dress Color if you picked it: White (David's Bridal V8822)

Fave Bible Verse or Suggestions for this Board: 1 Timothy 4:12
For the board, I'm hoping we can keep this board uplifting and encouraging.  I've noticed a lot of the other boards can turn quite negative when someone gives a suggestion...so if we can stick to Ephesians 4:29, I think we'll be just fine.

Suggestions for this Board
I don't do a lot of posting on other boards, mostly lurking...just because I really don't like the way some of those girls rip people apart.  I would love for this board to be more of a kind, encouraging board, with valuable advice and support.  I think the way to get more people over here is to post about all kinds of things (not just Christian-related topics) but to respond to each other in a Christian way!  I love the open ended posts, like a topic of the day, or a show me post.  I think that will really encourage people to post more.

Looking forward to getting to know you all!!

I think that is a wonderful vision for this board! I also lurk on other boards and have seen the negative responses some people get. I am a newbie poster, but would love to be able to encourage others through the knot.
