maybe984

Name?/FI or H's name?
MaryBeth and Justin

Occupation?/FI or H's occupation?
I'm an HR/Benefits Administrator (hate it... am desperately trying to transition into a completely different field, but that's hard as hell these days) and Justin is a Software Engineer

Kids or fubabies?
Two furbabies. Buckley, a Pomeranian/Irish Terrier mix of undetermined age that I adopted 4 years ago... and Billy, a grey tabby cat that we rescued as a sick little farm kitten 5 years ago. They're both awesome little dudes.

Wedding date?
October 10, 2010 (Yep, almost a year. Probably time to stop lingering around on TK and get on with my life ;-) )

Favorite Vendor?
Oh geez... I loved most of them. It's probably a tie between my florist, Intuitive Blooms, and my makeup artist, Elsie Vanity.

Biggest Wedding Splurge?
Chair Covers.

Favorite Hobby (NWR!...I know you have one!)
Writing, reading, playing video games...

Favorite Movie?
'The Fall' or 'Almost Famous'

Favorite Book?
Oh, too many to list. My most recent favorite was 'Happy - A Memoir' by Alex Lemon. I cried like a baby the entire time I was reading it.

tpender13

Name?/FI or H's name?
Toni/Ryan

Occupation?/FI or H's occupation?
I work in transportation/logistics for a big retail store scheduling deliveries that come into their warehouses. H runs a DJ company.

Kids or fubabies?
Neither. We'd love to have a dog or two, but can't have them in our apartment. We'd like to be settled in a house before we start having kids, and that will probably be another couple years before we can start house hunting.

Wedding date?
November 6th, 2010

Favorite Vendor?
Either Muddy Paws or the DoubleTree Park Place. Those were really the only vendors we had to hire, (we didn't have to shop for DJ service, H's cousin was our photographer, no flowers, etc) and we both knew that we wanted Muddy Paws cheesecakes instead of regular wedding cake long before we were talking marriage. The DoubleTree was awesome -- the catering/events manager Katie really worked with us to build a package that worked with our budget, and she was always pretty quick to respond to emails.

Biggest Wedding Splurge?
Um, the venue, I suppose. Even that we were very budget conscious with, though. We had the ceremony and reception at the DoubleTree, and I think we got a pretty good price for everything.

Favorite Hobby (NWR!...I know you have one!)
TV -- I watch way too much. Most of it is actually online while I'm working. It actually keeps me more focused on what I'm doing.

Favorite Movie?
Inglorious Basterds. I'm not generally a Tarantino fan, but that movie is awesome! The Wayne's World movies, and maybe Anchorman are very close behind -- I can watch them over and over and over and they never get less funny to me.

Favorite Book?
As far as fluffy stuff goes, I really like Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. A little bit mysterious/suspenseful, and really funny! I know I have a couple favorite more serious books, but I haven't had coffee yet so nothing is coming to mind.

Favorite Vendor?  Reception site - St. Paul Hotel.  Gosh they're great there.
Biggest Wedding Splurge?  St. Paul Hotel!    It was worth it.  Everything was beautiful and any mishaps were quietly dealt with.  Plus we got to stay in one of their rooms for the evening.  Gorgeous.
