    For KornKittenBride What has your FI been most involved with during your planning? The colors, the food and the music.  The rest are just details to him.What do you think of shows like "yes to the dress" and "Bridezillas"? I LOVE Say Yes to the Dress, I DVR it every week.  I saw a dress last week that I loved... and that's not always a good thing. I used to watch Bridezillas but my cable provider doesn't have WE so I am spared from the drama.What was the hardest decision you've had to make regarding your wedding? Cutting back on things that I would really like to have.  and NWR - What's your favorite television show? That's a tough one, I love tv.  I think my favorites are How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory (my FI is just like Sheldon and Leonard) and Grey's Anatomy.

    For the no longer SoontobeMrsSikesWhat are you most looking forward to about your honeymoon? Being away from everyone we know.  We've never taken a vacation that didn't involve family.What is your favorite physical feature of your FI? He has nice calves, lol.  What would be your perfect day? I want to wake up without an alarm clock and have pancakes and bacon for breakfast.  Jason could then tell me to grab my stuff and get in the car.  We would drive to nowhere in particular and explore.  We're not spontanious people so not having a plan is very uncommon.
