    How you met your FI
    : Online (OKCupid)


    Wedding Date and Location: 6.8.13, New Haven Lawn Club

    Length of Engagement: 22 months

    ONE vendor, hands down, you would recommend: New Haven Lawn Club

    Best wedding planning tip you have for others: Share the planning w/ *willing* ppl. (to me FI is automatically willing), whether it's through friends or by finding a venue that does most everything in house. I think I'd go bananas if I had to do everything from picking out linens to chairs to decorations, so we got a venue that takes care of the small details. 

    One NWR thing you want to tell us: FI and I are moving to Kentucky in June!!! (As a born & raised CT gal I'm a little nervous but mostly pumped for the change)

    Name: Jenny
    How you met your FI: We met at our cousins wedding. My cousin married his cousin in November 2008.  We had our first date in December 2008 and have been together since. :)
    Wedding Date and Location: March 23, 2013, Fox Hill Inn, Brookfield, CT
    Length of Engagement: One year, two months and about nine days
    ONE vendor, hands down, you would recommend: Classic Brides by Eva in Stratforrd. This is my second wedding (my FH's first) and I will be using her for my gown and the bm's dresses. Eva is fantastic to work with, reasonably priced and good at what she does.
    Best wedding planning tip you have for others: Don't lose sight of what the day actually means.  It is about a marriage, not a party. Take a step back and remember that when things get crazy.
    One NWR thing you want to tell us: I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed Thursday and I'm freaking out!!!
  • Name: Lisa
    How you met your FI: I moved up to CT for a job and one of my cooworkers invited me to a house party where I ment my fiance for the first time.  We were friends for about a year before started dating.
    Wedding Date and Location: Don't know yet.  I would like to have it this fall, but I know planning would be tight.  If not this fall then spring.  My favorite location so far is Wickam Park in Manchester. 
    Length of Engagement: We got engaged the day after Xmas this year, so less then 2 months so far!
    ONE vendor, hands down, you would recommend: Don't have any yet.
    Best wedding planning tip you have for others:     The only one I have is from a friend who didn't have/want bridesmaids.  Even if you don't want the matchyness, designate some friends to be with you getting ready/help out if needed.  You don't have to call them bridesmaids, but having friends around pre-ceromoney makes getting ready more fun!  Also if you have a big dress you'll need help peeing, so friends are good for that.
    One NWR thing you want to tell us:  I'm from Philly (Go Eagles?) and before moving to CT I was in the Peace Corps in Morocco.
