    AW:  Attention Whore.  Basically whenever you are going to brag about something whether it be WR (wedding related) or NWR (non wedding related)

    We have AW Thursdays where it is a chance for everyone to AW things in one thread.  But if you've got a special AW, feel free to do so whenever.

    6.  Any questions you have been afraid to ask (ie what does AW/FMIL/DH mean?) YES What the heck is the MMPP that we answer on Monday mornings. I respond just about every week but I don't know what the abbreviation stands for.

    1. Name and FI (or DH)’s name: Rachael & Steve
    2. Wedding Date: 9/24/2011
    3. How did you meet: At work
    4. Favorite/Least Favorite thing about the holidays: I love Christmas lights and decorations, cooking/baking, shopping and wrapping gifts, Advent season at church…really, there isn’t much I don’t like about the holidays – except for craziness at malls and rude shoppers.
    5. Do you make New Year’s resolutions? Yes. I made one last year to eat healthier. I think the only reason it stuck is because I lost weight. Lol. I have no idea what I want to resolve to do this year. I’d say “not stress about the wedding” but I’ll probably break that the first week of January.
    6. Any questions you have been afraid to ask? What does “XP” stand for? I usually see it in posts regarding other boards.
    7. What is something random about yourself that will help me remember you? Ummm – My initials and my FMIL’s initials will be the same when I get married. We’ll both be “RCD”. I love anything with my initials (ergo, my knottie name).

    1.  Name and FI (or DH)'s name: Jen & Brad
    2.  Wedding Date: 9/25/10
    3.  How did you meet: At the Gym I worked at, he was a member.
    4.  Favorite/Least Favorite thing about the holidays: Not going to lie, I've felt like a scrooge most of the holiday season this year. But in general I love the extra time I get to spend with my family. My niece is three so she's starting to show her own emotions/excitement towards things. I took her to look at outside Christmas decorations a couple weeks ago at night and she loved it. Didn't cost us anything except a little time and barely any gas.

    Least: The headache of figuring out where we have to be on Christmas Eve/Day. It wont be as bad this year since we've pretty much cut ties with my Mom and her family, but figuring out what I'm doing with my own siblings is still not set in stone.

    5.  Do you make New Years resolutions? Yes
    6.  Any questions you have been afraid to ask (ie what does AW/FMIL/DH mean?) None from me :)
    7.  What is something random about yourself that will help me remember you. My hair grows extremely fast and I have a hard time shelling out money to get it cut, so I just leave it long.

UGH  My Mother would play Mariah Carey's  Christmas cd on Saturday morning to wake me up when I was in high school. I now hate Christmas music! 5.  Do you make New Years resolutions? My resolution is always not to make resolutions. 6.  Any questions you have been afraid to ask (ie what does AW/FMIL/DH mean?) <strong>Nope. I feel like an experienced lurker by now ( I have read the stickies lol) </strong>7.  What is something random about yourself that will help me remember you.  Well I am a funky goth/punk chick, but I want to have a pretty traditional wedding. People will be really surprised. Oh and my really old friends call me Pickles. You may call me Pickles.

    Be still my heart <3 

    Although if you don't want people to know who you are Pickles, you may want to change your name in your profile :)  Not sure if this really was your intention but in case, you can change this info in the "My Account" portion in the top right section of the page.

    And I can't wait to see your plans unfold.  The punk/traditional line will be cool to see.
