Sadly, I'm stuck in DC. I wish I could join you! It's just so sad. He's been away for almost 3 months doing away rotations for medical school. Rosh Hashanah is just the icing on a really bad cake. It's one of my favorite holidays and to have him be away is just so tough. haha you're not as bad as they all say

our rabbi told this really cute story about jon... a long time before the wedding, we met with him and he asked us to tell him stories about what we loved about each other. I told him the following story... one day, some b!tch stole my yogurt out of the work fridge, and I complained to him about it on G-Chat. about 30 minutes later, he came to my office with four different flavors of yogurt, all with my name written on themso the rabbi told the story, and everyone thought it was adorable

It is on W4th St, right off 6th Ave.  Claude was there forever and recently retired.  His baker took over the place and makes the most amazing chocolate croissants and interesting quiche.  It is one of those places that hasn't changed decoration forever and is really loved by the neighborhood.

All animals are cute I don't feel like telling my story. It's too long.

mrsLesGrossman

No, Ricks, you have to share.  Angie, that is so cute. haha you're not as bad as they all say   Fuuck what people say, I am a pretty chill person.  I just checked online and there are a lot of services for Rosh Hashanah.  Why don't you find a service for 20's 30's?  They usually have dinner and there will probably be others in your situation since a lot of people are really from out of the area.

I think the best engagement moment was just the fact that FI got down on one knee in 2 feet of snow (literally in the snow bank), when it was -20, super windy, and blizzarding, on top of the bluffs.  Granted, the whole scenario resulted in my answer being "ummm...can we go back to the car?  My tears are freezing to my face and I am NOT taking my gloves off to put that ring on!"  Yeah, I'm pretty much the *sweetest* girl everrrrr.

I looked at your pictures, E.  I thought your wedding was lovely.

lindy.linder

You're right! I've made it my mission during work tomorrow to find a good 20's/30's service... because right now I am far to KUI to try

Angie - That's a great story! What a guy.

mrsLesGrossman

Thank you, I think so too.  It isn't my fault that some people have no sense of style and want to hate on something when their entire wedding and wedding planning is cookie cutter or tasteless.

It is funny.  In my head, it was almost a bigger deal when he asked me if I wanted to look at diamonds with him.  It was the surprised part.  It was a really special day where we both talked about what we liked in the ring.

Post engagement: Well, my H and I were on our way to dinner for V-times day and we were in the car. On our way there, I gave him this big talk about how I didn't need an engagement ring and that he should save his money so that we could have more for the wedding. He listened and didn't really comment. We had dinner and it was a lovely night. After dinner, we were walking to the car and he pulled out a box and got on one knee. I screamed loudly. People in bulidings beside the restaurant peeked outside to see what was going on. He asked me to marry him, I said yes. I was very surprised because a. I had just gave that speech in the car about no ring and B. It was Vday which he thought was a cliche holiday. He totally caught me off gaurd.

mrsLesGrossman

Aww, that is sweet and you weren't going to share.

When we were eating cake and getting ready to toast and I remarked to DH how awesome it was to have all our favorite people in the same room to celebrate our wedding.  That's it.

lindy.linder

actually I lied. I just remembered that my Valentine's Day gift from FI was that he re-proposed to me because he knew I was so excited when it happened that it was a blur. He got down on one knee again and told me everything he had told me on the night he proposed. He is not an overly emotional person so it was something incredibly special that he would put himself out there like that a second time.

TY E!

When he pulled out the ring and I put it on and started crying and said the stone was too big for my little hand.  We downsized it a few days later.  Its a funny story now, but I cant believe i am one of those girls who was like i dont want it. It was a very emotional moment and i was talking out of emotion and didnt realize i was rejecting a beautiful ring until later on. I feel like an asss for doing that.I also loved loved loved walking down the aisle to Radiohead and seeing the look in his eyes.  Our photographer captured it and its my favorite picture from the whole wedding.

Les - I started crying when I got to the venue and saw everyone enjoying cocktail hour. It was overwhelming and awesome to think about how all of those people were there for us that day.

Wow Lindy! I really wish FI would do that. I don't really remember anything he said to me. I know it was really special, I just wish I knew what it was!

julezlee

J&K - I love that!

Our best moment thus far was when he read me the letter he sent his crazy grandparents about how important I am.  He also spoke about our wedding is going to make us a family and if they can't support it, then that is their problem and not his.  It really cemented everything for me.

I think the best wedding moment was when I walked up to Dh at the beginning of the ceremony and he just was so teary eyed. He just looked at me, took my hands and said "you are just so, so beautiful and I am so lucky" and started crying. Dh is one of those big toughys who rarely cries or shows he's upset so that meant a lot to me.

Ha, apparently FI and I have a weird sense of humor.  He didn't say a bunch of sweet things to me--he tried to phrase his speech so it sounded like he was going to break up with me.  But I knew he was going to propose (or, I strongly suspected) so it was just funny to me!

Best Wedding Moment: Opening my wedding presents from Scott. It was the shiit.Best Engagement moment: Well, the engagement was awesome, but the best was before the engagement.We were back in Spicer having dinner with my dad the week before he proposed. During dinner, my dad told the story about when I was born and the first words out of his mouth were "I'm going to hate the man you marry." I got up and went to the bathroom.I found out later that when I got up, Scott said to my dad, "well, this seems to be really bad timing, and hate me if you want to, but I really want to marry your daughter."Funny.

Thats really funny fische!  now Im curious, what was your gift?

Our engagement itself wasn't incredibly amazing--it was kind of a foregone conclusion at the time that we'd be getting married, and he did it without a ring and then felt bad and apologized, and my mom was kind of shellshocked about the whole thing and made me feel bad because she was PO'ed he didn't ask her for permission.  I was really happy, and so was he, but it wasn't some incredible pretty princess moment.Honestly, the best moment since getting engaged was when he started his new job and came home and told me that he made me the beneficiary on his life insurance.  We both just kind of had a "whoa, this is for real" moment and started crying and hugging each other.  It was kind of silly, but really sweet.
