Urchin9 · May 2012

Good idea!

I'm Urchin aka Rae!
I live in Atlantic Canada.
My FI and I got engaged in July of 2010. Orginally to be married in Sept 2011, but I got pregnant a few months (5) sooner than we planned, so we pushed the wedding date to June 16, 2012!
I'm mommy to a beautiful little 7 month old girl named Audri.
Our wedding colors are plum and lilac
I don't even know how much I've spend on the wedding, but it's minimal (I've been planning for 2 years now). My guess is we'll have about $5000 spent once all is said and done!
DF and I are highschool sweethearts

He's an electrician, I am currently on 1 year mat-leave, but will go back to being an admin assistant in the fall!

daria24 · May 2012

I'm Daria (not my real name, I value my privacy on a forum anyone in the world can view)

FI & I have been together for 6+ years, we met in NYC but our fathers are from the same small county in PA.

We are having a very non traditional, self-uniting ceremony that is going to confuse the heck out of our guests. We also don't have a WP, and we are skipping a lot of wedding "traditions."

I like chocolate, naps, TV, and cooking. After the wedding I will be hopefully training for a half marathon and full NYC marathon in 2013.

browner3 · May 2012

I'm browner aka Erika. FI and I have been engaged since Sept 2010 and are planning a June 9th wedding. Our colors are kelly green with a little bit of turquoise. We both are huge foodies so caterine was our big splurge. We have one fur baby named Oliver, a sheltie, who will be 1 at the end of the month.

chelseakopperud · May 2012

I'm Chelsea..... FI and I have been together since March 2011, so just over a year. He proposed after 3 months of dating.

Our wedding colors are navy and fuschia. We are getting married at my parents home in Minnesota. We will have a tented reception, but we are praying for no rain! We have 4 attendants each, 2 RBs and 2 FGs. We have huge familes and ended up inviting 378 people.

I enjoy working out, running, naps, playing with my 4 yr old and my puppy. FI and I are fixing up a house right now and I will be moving in with him after the wedding.... I cant wait!

Ash61612 · May 2012

I'm Ashley, getting married on June 16. We have been dating since October of 2007. We got engaged September 18, 2010. We had a long engagement so FI could finish his 2nd degree, work around my work schedule and work around some of our groomsmen deployments.

We are having a very traditional yet fun wedding. It will be around 140 people. I am most excited about our sabre arch and bag piper. And finally becoming a Mrs!

I love to run and we are looking to get a chocolate lab puppy after we get married and me moved into his house.

G2SoccerTaz · May 2012

I am G2SoccerTaz aka Sarah

FI and I have been together since May 2006. Been engaged since last June. We will be getting married June 30th. I cannot wait. Our colors are blue and green. According to FI, they are grass green and sky blue. We are having a DW in California. We are expecting about 40-45 to actually come. The wedding is going to be a mixture of ideas with a BBQ wedding. FI teases me that he needs to get me a bib to cover my dress cause I am messy with BBQ.

MissyB1313 · May 2012

Hi,, I'm Missy aka Marlise, not new.

Fi and I have been together 4 years in July, and engaged since June 11 2011. We'll be getting married June 2 back in our hometown. We live in Edmonton AB Canada now.

We have 1 furbaby, Banjo. He turned 2 in March.

Our wedding colors are black white and royal blue.

rasp.berry · May 2012

So many things in common with so many ladies that I didn't realize!!

I'm rasp.berry, a.k.a Erika (with a "K" like the above poster!! I was impressed) and I also live in Atlantic Canada.

Our wedding date is quickly approaching on June 23rd, and we're doing a vintage feel for our reception (think old books, lacy doilies, and milk glass). We're having a morning ceremony and a lunch reception and I'm looking forward to getting my grub on (mmmm seafood lasagna.. drool).

FI and I have been together for 8 years (high school sweethearts too!) and we have 2 beautiful children together - our son just turned 5, and our daughter is 3.5. We live in a tiny village about 30 minutes outside of the closest city and we love having our space. We especially love it for the ATVing and playing with the kiddos.

I graduated last year and am now an accountant for an awesome, fast growing company. I love my job, plus it gives me the stability we need for the kids since FI is a truck driver who travels most of the time. I am also a PT student enrolled in continuing education courses in order to complete an accounting designation which takes a total of approximately 7 years to complete. The end isn't quite in site yet, but I'm working away.

Completely random fact: I play the tenor sax. Maybe I should say "played" because I've only picked it up a handful of times since our son came around, but someday I'll get back to it! Just not enough time for too many hobbies these days.

Congrats ladies, our days our quickly approaching!!

brittneyh4 · May 2012

Name is Brittney, getting married June 23rd. We've been together since Aug 2008 and FI proposed on our 3rd anniversary (same place we had our first date), Aug 2011. This is FI second wedding, and my second time being engaged (first FI was a psychopath in the end, thank God I got away).

We're from a small logging town and definitely country bumpkins. Getting married on a farm, had deer on our invitations, and my garter is camo We're doing BBQ and FI also told me I need a bib! haha. He's currently bugging me about doing a choreographed dance, but I don't know if I can make myself do it.

No kidlets yet, we will start TTC next year unless it happens sooner for some reason. One fur baby, a black lab named Moose (turning 2 this month, we share a bday).

acaponi87 · May 2012

I'm Poni aka Angela

I'm a June 16. I live in Cincinnati with my FI but we are both from Michigan originally and are hoping to move back there within the year. As a general rule I hate wedding planning. I enjoy cooking, working out, watching sports and I am big bookworm.

ECOlson · May 2012

Hi! I'm Erica! I'm pretty new, and though I've commented a few times, I never formally introduced myself. I'm 26 (for 6 more days) and I'm a high school Spanish teacher.

My FI and I have been together since the summer of 2009 and he proposed on our 2 year dating anniversary last summer. We each other in junior high and high school, but lost touch during college. We reconnected when we were both back in our hometown after graduation (he was going to grad school and I was subbing while trying to find a full-time teaching job).

Our wedding is going to be on June 29 at a beautiful barn just outside of the town we both grew up in. We've invited just over 300 guests to our wedding and our colors are various shades of blues and yellows. All of the flowers will be locally grown, which I'm really excited about!

ETA: We knew each other in junior high and high school.

KimzyLynn · May 2012

Hi! I'm Kim, I've been here for a bit but dont post much. FI and I met in high school and started dating a year after, we've been together for almost 7 years June 20th is our anniversary. Our wedding is June 17th. We're having a simple ceremony with kind of a vintage feel. We have 2 cats we inherited when we moved into our new place, Brewha and Babu. I work as a medical assistant and FI builds hot rods for his dads company. Nice to meet all of you!

Skittles612 · May 2012

Hey!
I'm Stephanie, not a big poster but I love the ideas that you have.

FI and I started dating March of 2007 and were engaged April of 2011. We both grew up and now live it a very small town in Montana.

We are getting married on June 30th with an outdoor ceremony (weather permitting). Wanted a small ceremony and settled on 200 guests... Our colors are red and black. The part I'm most looking forward to/nervous about is having our miniature daschound Skittles be our ring bearer. I hope she doesn't get distracted!

I work too much and am not happy about that, but I also love to run; I've run 8 marathons and am running NY this November. Running keeps me happy.

[Deleted User] · May 2012

Hi everyone!

I'm Micaela and my FI and I have been engaged a year on May 18th. We both love baseball and had our first date at the stadium and he proposed there as well!
Our date is June 30th. We're having a traditional catholic ceremony and an awesome reception at the new performing arts center. It's often compared to the Sydney Opera House, in regards to its architecture.
I have a rescued chihuahua that's going to be at the wedding!
The thing I'm most proud about working on our custom menu for the reception. The thing I'm most worried about is finding shoes. I can't seem to find any that live up to my high expectations!lol
I'm so excited about having my dream wedding and it's great to hear about your weddings! Cheers!

Zimsgirl · May 2012

Hi my name is Katelyn. I'm getting married June 2. FI and I have been together almost 4 years. Our colors are pink and green. We're going to Hawaii for our honeymoon!

precamies · May 2012

Hi, I'm precamies - it stands for "we're getting married" in Latvian. yup, just one word!

I guess I'm pretty new here, I transferred to this board in march of this year when we pushed our October 2012 wedding up to June 23, 2012. Since them I've been pretty active here I guess.

FI and I have been dating for 2 years, the wedding will be fairly small - 45 people. It is an outdoors ceremony at a park with an indoors dessert reception at the house in the middle of the same park. We're a little crazy planning this so quickly as at one point we had stopped any planning entirely (monetary issues). but we decided to do it no matter how pressed we are, we just want to be married. So now we will have had 3 months to plan before the wedding day arrives.

I study Neuroscience and FI is a Software Engineer. I dream of running a bakery or a Bed and Breakfast and he dreams of endless travels. well, both of us do

kathleenkmm · May 2012

I'm Kathleen, I'm getting married June 2nd. Our colors are royal blue and turquoise. WE've been together 7.5 years, engaged for a year, and to be honest I am so sick of trying to do wedding things and so ready to be married!

aor9487 · May 2012

Hey everyone! I'm Annely aka aor9487 and I'm not really new here (I think I joined in around July of last year, right after FI proposed). We're getting married June 15th, and expecting around 100 guests or so. We've been together for about 7 years, engaged since July 2011 and we have a beautiful 4 year old. Our colors are navy blue, gold, and ivory.

Both FI and I are in the Air Force, but we're currently also in school. I'm almost done with my degree in Information Technology with a focus on Networking and Databases, also pursuing a degree in Computer Science then eventually a Master's in Cyber Security. FI is currently finishing up his Masters in Criminal Justice.

kimiandgary · May 2012
