May I Play Too?

Hello ladies,

I've been 'lurking' (that word sounds so creepy) on this board for a little while now, but I wanted to check in before posting in any of the threads, because I'm not 'plus size' in the traditional sense.  However, I am well over 6 feet tall, and am half a head taller than my betrothed. I've found that many of the issues you ladies have discussed are very applicable to things I've seen/dealt with.  I know in one of the board threads the mod says that girls of all sizes are welcome, but I wanted to make sure I wouldn't bother anyone.

Thank's Ladies!

    [QUOTE]Thank you ladies for being so welcoming! My big day isn't for quite a while (we just set an official date, <strong>January 3, 2014</strong>), so I have two years to get everything straightened out.  I know it sounds like a crazy timetable, but I'm a perfectionist and love to DIY, so I know I'll find ways to pass the time by! Our colors are pomegranate, brown, and gold, and we're both total geeks, and I'm a huge history fanatic, so we're going to be adding medieval touches to the whole thing (Pomegranates, Pears and Figs stacked in bowls as centerpieces, Pheasant feathers in the bouquets, etc.)  Right now my big project is designing my dress and the bridesmaid dresses (we're getting them all made, because my sisters will be bridesmaids and they're almost as tall as I am, and it's much easier that way).  I'm really looking forward to hearing about all of your weddings, and getting to know you all better! Also, Divine, I'm glad you got my sig, I've had a few people tell me ''it's not safe to have your fi's whole name in your signature'', and it reaalllly makes me question their taste in television.

    Haha too cool, my FI and I were thinking about planning our wedding for January 4, 2014 since that is our anniversary, but we both agreed on October because that's a pretty time in MI. We're still uncertain, so we might switch back later on. :)

    Thank you! we're going to try to use rich color to give things kind of a 'cosy winter castle' feel.

    Welcome Gabrielle,
    Wow, you are tall.  I am short only 5'3" and always thought it would be nice to be taller.  Plus if I was your height I would definitely be better proportioned! lol
    I hope you enjoy your time here!

    Everyone really should watch 30 rock, so it's a fair assumption
