  • Leisel, I may call on you when it comes time to finally decide on our stationery.  Basically I'm going to have to narrow it down to a few options for FI.  I already had one in mind on Wedding Paper Divas but now that I have my dress I dont think the invite fits- as my mom says, "the dress raises the bar a bit and you cant do that simple invite."

    ETA: I love that he's really level headed when I get overly emotional.  He balances me out.  It's nice.

    What's your favorite part of your wedding/future wedding?  N/A.  I'm not the crazy pre-planner type.

FI and I have a Japanese Chin, Kiwi and an English Bulldog, Lilly. My favorite vacation spot is Key West. FI and I were neighbors growing up and reconnected a few years after college at a BBQ.

  • I'm around pretty often, just kind of shy and quiet generally. I'm feeling brave today.

    Where are you from? Eastern KY

    What do you do for a living? I do aquisitions for a medical library

    Any pets? 3-ish. Our rental doesn't allow animals, so 1 cat, Francis Binx, is at the in-law's. Possum and Snowball, the dog and cat in my sig pic, live with my parents for now.

    What's your favorite vacation spot? Sad to say, I haven't really vacationed enough to have a favorite. We did spend our honeymoon in Charleston, SC, and it was absoluely amazing. I'd love to go back sometime.

    How did you meet your significant other? We shared a major, so we had tons of college classes together.

    What do you like most about him/her? He has a special talent for making me smile, and smiling himself. I have panic attacks and border on agoraphobia, so I'm kind of a terror to live with, but he manages gracefully :)

    What's your favorite part of your wedding/future wedding? It's kind of a tie. There's the whole getting married part, but also, as he was leaving H's nephew told us he had a great time at our birthday party, 'cause he likes bubbles and trains. It was too cute.

  • Where are you from? South Jersey, right across the river from Philly

    What do you do for a living? Paralegal

    Any Pets? A dog, a black lab named Olive Oil

    Favorite Vacation Spot?  A tie between Kauai and Maui, so generally Hawaii!

    How did you meet SO and favorite thing about him?  On Match.  My favorite thing is his attitude.  He is such a humble person and great with his family.

    Favorite part of the wedding: The vows we said to each other.  It still makes me smile when I think about reciting them to each other.  But overall the whole day was great!

    Hi there!

    Where are you from?
    I'm an Air Force Brat but I claim Northern Virginia as home

    What do you do for a living?
    911 Dispatcher

    Any pets?
    Nope...unfortunately in the past couple years, my family has had to put down two cats and a dog.  FI's schedule and mine don't really work well for pets, unless we get a cat.  We are considering it.

    What's your favorite vacation spot?
    I love to travel so anywhere new is fun for me

    How did you meet your significant other? What do you like most about him/her?
    As cliche (sp?) as it is, we met at the police academy.  He's goofy and a lot of fun.  I get to see a side that most people don't because of what he does. 

    What's your favorite part of your wedding/future wedding?
    I'm excited about our food and we are doing Carvel Ice Cream Cakes (Fudgie the Whale anyone?).  And all the gooey stuff about being FI's wife finally.  :)
