Congrats to Cathy (Cathyl7910) our next Knottie of the Day!! I can't believe it's already your special day, we've been planning side-by-side and it's insane how quickly the months have ticked away!! I love that she pulled the original proposal story that she posted on TK!

Congrats Cathy, you will be a beautiful bride and we can't wait to hear all about it!!



1.     First Name & Fiance's First Name – Cathy & Gary

2. Your Age and Fiance's Age – 33 & 31

3. What city were you born in? – Poughkeepsie, NY

4. What city do you live in? – Poughkeepsie, Ny

5. Where did you go to college? Norwich University, Dutchess Community College and Marist College

6. What was your major? I had many majors in college.  I finally graduated from Marist with a BS in Computer Science and a minor in Business and Math.

7. What is your current job? Real Property Information Systems Technician – AKA Database admin among other things.

8. What is your dream job? I can't wait for our business to take off so I can just do that - Informational Marketing :) 

9. How did you and your fiance' meet? We met on the first day of my current job, June 15, 2009.  My supervisor was bringing me around the office meeting everyone and we got to Gary.  The first thing that I thought was, “Oh my God, this guy is HOT.  How am I supposed to work with him?”


10. When did you get engaged, and how did he do it?? – We got engaged in May of 2011.  I went back on the DW board to see what I wrote about out proposal and this is what I found…

 

My boyfriend proposed to me over the weekend.  We had been talking about getting married within the next year.  We had gone to pick out the ring a few weeks ago and I knew that he had purchased it on Friday, I just didn't know when he would actually ask me.  He had hinted a few times about waiting a few months because we are going to Jamaica in September.  But Sunday night he said that he really wanted to give me the ring but was nervous about what to say because he is not romantic, (which he is).  So I just told him to tell me why he wanted to marry me and he said because I was his best friend and the most perfect person for him and that he couldn't see spending his life without me.  Of course I'm crying at this point and he say that he has to go get something.  He comes back with the ring and asked me to marry him.  YAY!!”

11. When is the Wedding Day? – October 11, 2012

12. Where is the ceremony and reception? – The Hilton on Singer Island, FL, (West Palm Beach)

13. What are your wedding colors? - Blue and White

14. Where are you honeymooning? – Sandals Grande Antigua

15. Favorite wedding vendor so far? – My photographer.  I love him.  He takes awesome pictures and responds to all of my silly questions really fast including which beach balls would look better in pictures. 

16. Biggest wedding splurge? – The honeymoon definitely.  J


17. What is something you wish you could have at the wedding but don't? – More family.  We were hoping that FI’s grandparents were going to be able to come down, but FI’s grandfather started dialysis a few weeks ago and now can’t make it.   

18. Another Knottie whose wedding you'd like to attend? – I would go to ALL of them!!  But if I had to pick I would want to go to Lora’s and anyone else’s in Jamaica because FI and I love it there.  I would also go to Britt and Kimmy’s weddings, (even though they already happened).  I would have loved to see all of the hard DIY work in person.  Apparently for Kimmy’s wedding my invite got lost in the mail though…

  
19. Favorite book? Right now it’s the Hunger Game Series.  I really loved those books and couldn’t put them down.   

20. Favorite movie? Despicable Me, Superbad and PS I love you

21. Favorite tv show? I have a lot of shows that I like…here are a few…Pysch, Franklin & Bash, Big Brother, Hell’s Kitchen, 90210 and Gossip Girl.

22. Favorite wedding dress designer? I don’t really have a favorite.  I do really like Alfred Angelo though. 

23. Any advice you can give to other Knotties whose big day is coming up? – Don’t look at the weather forecast.  You can’t change it.  You just have to go with the flow.  Also don’t let other people pressure you into something that you don’t want to do.  You need to do what makes you and FI happy.  It is your day in the end.   

24. Is there anything you wish you could change about your wedding? – Sometimes I wish we eloped but then when I really think about it I am really happy with the way things are turning out.  In the end, I guess the only thing that I would change is the situation with the sound system…as in we have one and don’t have to pay extra for it.

25. Tell us your Knottie name and how you came up with it. – CathyL7910.  It’s very simple.  Cathy is my first name, L is the first letter of FI’s last name and 7910 is our dating anniversary, July 9, 2010. 

 

26. Tell us about yourself! I never know what to say for these questions…I am a kid at heart so that makes me the perfect match for FI.  We love to sit around all day and play games or on the flip side go out and explore the country side.  I do like to surprise people and tell them that I used to drag race, I taught dance, I attended military school and I coached cheerleading.

  • Cathy! I <3 you and I can't wait to read your LP and all about your wedding. BTW at some point you really do need to get a facebook account, even if it's with a fake name, no photos, no info, etc. so you can keep up with us old marrieds. We miss you!
  • Ahhh, Miss Cathy!!!  I can't believe you're wearing your crown and about to become a Mrs.  I know I've been MIA through a lot of your planning, but that just means it will all be a great surprise when I get to see your photos!  You are a total sweetheart, and I wish you and your new hubby-to-be all the best.  Safe travels, good weather, beautiful memories, oodles of fun.  Enjoy every minute!
