What are your plans for Valentine’s Day? As of right now, we don’t have any. With the wedding getting so close, I’m scared to spend money.

Is there anyone on the board who has helped or inspired you in some way? If yes, who was it and what did they do? I’d like to give a shout out to Brea and Sarah. They both told me of really great places to see and eat while we were on Maui. It made our trip so much better and we can’t wait to go back to some of those places again in July.

What are you having for dinner tonight? I have no idea. Something Paleo. I really need to go shopping, so it depends on what I pick up tonight.

Where's your favorite place to eat out? Trader Vic’s and Iorio. They both make my mouth and tummy happy!

What are your wedding colors? (If you don't have wedding colors, then what is your favorite color?) No wedding colors but my favorite color is blue which is why I'm having blue orchids!!

What are your wedding colors? (If you don't have wedding colors, then what is your favorite color?) Still in the air between a turquoise-ish color, and a coral-ish color. We are going BM dress shopping on the 25th, so I figured I would leave the colors up in the air until then, and see which I like on everyone more. My favorite color is purple though. 

What are your plans for Valentine's Day? Nothing just yet. FI is in the process of flipping an investment property, so he has been busy with that. Hopefully, we can at least watch a movie together 

Is there anyone on the board who has helped or inspired you in some way? If yes, who was it and what did they do? Everyone! Lots of creative people here!

What are you having for dinner tonight? Still not sure. I've been on a PB&J kick lately.

Great question!   We aren't huge V-day people, either, but I'm sure we'll go out to dinner or something one day that week!

Is there anyone on the board who has helped or inspired you in some way? If yes, who was it and what did they do?
Well she's not on here much anymore, but Michaela was a HUGE help to me, as we are venue twins!  It was great to have another KW/Ocean Key bride to compare notes with.  Each of you has been insanely helpful throughout the planning process though!!!

What are you having for dinner tonight?
Another great question haha - hopefully I get some inspiration from you guys!

Where's your favorite place to eat out?
So hard to say.  We live in a cool area of town that has a ton of more "Mom and Pop" restaurants!  We love check out places like that.  Not huge fans of chain restaurants... although Bonefish is pretty awesome!  Sushi is definitely a fav!

What are your plans for Valentine's Day? I've been waiting for this for about a month- we're watching Tangled!!  Haha   I want to see it SO bad, and Fi isn't really interested.  So he said he'll watch it with me on V-Day.  Those are the big plans.  I have a race on Saturday morning in Stone Harbor (where we're getting married), so we'll probably have a mini-VDay there.

Where's your favorite place to eat out? This used to be an easy question to answer when I lived in Athens- the town made for foodies.  Now I have no idea.  We have so many chains, and I'm not really a chain person.  I guess I'd have to say The Last Resort... in Athens... which I'll probably only have but one or two more times in my life because it's in Georgia haha.
