  • 1. Who will marry you? Reverend? Friend? Family member? Priest?
    Priest.

    2. What are the groomsmen wearing?
    Black tuxedos.  We were going to do gray, but I think black works for more people.

    3. Rehearsal dinner location?
    On the patio of a favorite restaurant just seconds away from our Church.

    4. How did you meet your MOH?
    We had the same sixth grade teacher.  She was a new student, just moved here.

    5. Who is traveling the farthest to attend your wedding? (if they can make it!) And where are they coming from?
    Probably the Carolinas.

    6. What song is a must for your reception?
    Anything by The Beatles.

    7. Are you wearing your hair up? Down? Half up?
    Mostly down -- maybe pulled back a little.

    8. What is your favorite detail of your wedding dress?
    The rosettes on my ballgown.

    9. Add your own question for us to answer!
    To answer PP's question:  Our first kiss?  At his fraternity house lol

    10.  My Question:  Who said I love you first and how/when did it happen?
    After dating for about a month, he said it quietly kissing me goodnight after taking me to dinner.  So quietly, in fact, that I wasn't sure he said it.  He would say it again a few days later, but I sometimes remind him about that first, scared time.  There's nothing like that uncertainty, and how we can be so close and uninhibited now.
  • Great questions!

    9. Our first kiss was in my old car. It was the nicest first kiss I've ever received.

    10. Hm. I wrote it on his back and he said it outloud first.
    <3 sweet memories!

    Priest

    2. What are the groomsmen wearing?
    Most likely black tuxes

    3. Rehearsal dinner location?
    Not sure but probably some little place near the church

    4. How did you meet your MOH?
    Well, my MOH is my sister-in-law so I met her through my older brother (she's actually a replacement for my best friend who won't know if he can even come until late- I've known him for 30 years, our moms used to be in the same mother's support group, lol)

    Well, if my best friend and his family can make it, they'll be coming from Taiwan.

    6. What song is a must for your reception?
    Build me up buttercup by The Foundations
    You're just too good to be true by Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons

    7. Are you wearing your hair up? Down? Half up?
    Probably up

    8. What is your favorite detail of your wedding dress?
    The skirt- it's got a different kind of sillouette

    9. Yo
    ur first kiss? At summer camp where we worked, after he'd gone home for a weekend and I missed him....

    10. Who said I love you first and how/when did it happen? Okay it's going to make me sound insane but I said it, like, after we'd been together a week- I know, I know, can't believe he didn't run away then! He played it very cool though, just kissed me and waited about a month to tell me he loved me too. I like it because I know he thought about it and didn't just repeat it back to me but I also like telling him, "haha, I knew it, I was right from the beginning!"

    11. Name a quirk or characteristic of your FI. My fiance refuses to eat things with Boston or New England in the name, like Boston cream donut, New England Clam Chowder, Sam Adams Boston Lager, etc...lifetime New York Yankees and Jets fan.

  • 1. Who will marry you? Reverend? Friend? Family member? Priest?
    Right now we have a professional officiant but I think I might possibly ask an old friend's dad to do it....he is no longer our associate minister at my church but he is the head minister at a church 2hrs away. He was my buddy on the mission trips when I was on high school (we all were paired with adults in the church).

    2. What are the groomsmen wearing? don't know, its up to the fiance

    3. Rehearsal dinner location? right now it's the melting pot although I would rather have it at bucca di beppo

    4. How did you meet your MOH? I was stuck with her at birth-it's the older sis

    5. Who is traveling the farthest to attend your wedding? (if they can make it!) And where are they coming from? My sister and her boyfriend Miguel, Phoenix to Cbus

    6. What song is a must for your reception? All for You-Sister Hazel (it's our song....I know weird)

    7. Are you wearing your hair up? Down? Half up? I think I will be doing it all up unless I have the stylist stay to change.

    8. What is your favorite detail of your wedding dress? The comfort of it.

    9. Add your own question for us to answer!....If you had to ditch/change one detail about your wedding that you have planned thus far, what would it be? For me it would be a major detail....I would go back to my original plan of doing a destination wedding. I changed to a traditional wedding for my mom and looks like no matter what she won't be able to go due to her condition....Hoping that changes in the meantime!

    Answers to other additional q's....
    1st kiss....2002 Ohio State Fair....definately doing a second session of epics this July at the fair to celebrate so we can display them for our 10 year anniversery (which is the week of our wedding).
    1st declaration of love..... fiance said I love you in the parking lot at work
    fi quirk....he doesn't like lettuce....took 8 years to get him to eat a salad.....now ceasar salad is ok

    I LOVE the Melting Pot. Just sayin'...

    What I might change at this point... hmmm I would have booked an officiant first. Got that outta the way and every one would just have to accept that I am NOT Catholic.

    11. Name a quirk or characteristic of your FI. 

    He baby talks...it's a habit he picked up from me and my friends.  He will deny it to the ends of the Earth, but he does it.  I'm waiting for the day he slips up around his friends...I kinda tease him about it lol.  

    12.  How long had y'all been dating before he proposed? 

    FI and I had been together for three years before he popped the question.

    The pastor from our church that we LOVE!  

    2. What are the groomsmen wearing?
    Not totally determined yet... We're looking at gray suits.  I'm voting for three-piece suits! 

    3. Rehearsal dinner location?
    Not a clue... I'd really like to have a backyard barbeque at our new home, but FI thinks that will be way too much to take on the night before our wedding.  He might be right.  

    4. How did you meet your MOH?
    I was born (she's my older sister).

    5. Who is traveling the farthest to attend your wedding? (if they can make it!) And where are they coming from?
    Friends from Denver?  Cousin in NYC?  

    6. What song is a must for your reception?
    WAYYY too many!  We have a pretty long list of songs we'd love to hear!  

    7. Are you wearing your hair up? Down? Half up?
    I think up.  My hair is pretty fine and doesn't really hold style down, so that probably wouldn't turn out well. 

    8. What is your favorite detail of your wedding dress?
    The swiss dotted lace!  

    9. Your first kiss?Semi-formal dance freshman year of high school (Nov 2001?)... After the dance, at a friend's house.

    11. Name a quirk or characteristic of your FI.He's really stuck on doing things "the most efficient way" - i.e., we have to plan our route from the grocery store, to the gym, to the mall such that there is no back tracking, even if that's not the order I'd like to get things done.  Sometimes it drives me crazy, but mostly I think it's kind of cute.  

    12. How long had y'all been dating before he proposed?On and off for 10 years... 
    13.  What has been the most fun part of wedding planning?  The hardest? I have LOVED our counseling.  We have a pretty big requirement with our church (8-10 sessions with a counselor, plus 4-5 with our pastor) but we've really enjoyed the conversations.

    Most fun: picking out my dress, and working together to figure out the big things.  Oh, and cake tasting!  The hardest: We are getting married near where we both grew up, which is two and a half hours from where we currently live.    

    14. Must Have Pic? The two of us and all of our family members together.

    15. Where are you going on your honeymoon? Not sure yet - we need to decide soon. We are thinking about Aruba.

    16. What kind of flowers will you have in your bouquet? We just started talking to our florist, and we will be using lots of seasonal flowers, including wildflowers.

    17. How did your fiance propose?  We were on a hike in a state park (the same state park we had gone camping at on our first trip together).  When we got to a very pretty spot overlooking a lake, he got down on one knee and pulled out the ring!
  • 13.  What has been the most fun part of wedding planning?  The hardest? I liked picking out my dress! Budgeting and guest list is probably the hardest.
    14. Must Have Pic? I can't wait for the first picture of both our families together! I have eight siblings, two in-laws, four nieces, a nephew and it's not often that we're all together- plus, his side of the family. Such a big group picture would be great.

    15. Where are you going on your honeymoon? We're thinking the Adirondacks- his family has a summer home there and since we can't really afford to go anywhere really exotic, we might just take a week there. 

    16. What kind of flowers will you have in your bouquet? Dried wildflowers

    17. How did your fiance propose?  It was our fourth anniversary and we were back visiting the camp we had met at after going out to dinner. (He worked at a different position in the same area and I was up visiting him so we stopped in to see the friends of ours who still worked there.) I had teased him saying that he didn't need to get me a present, that just being able to be with him and go out for a nice dinner was perfect but he said he had until midnight. When we were walking back to the car after hanging out for a bit, he stopped us on the camp road and started talking about how four years ago we had met at this place and how much he loved me and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me...and then he got down on one knee. It was a few minutes to midnightSmile

    We are definitely doing at least the Chicken Dance, Electric and Cha CHa slides because those are favorites of myself and my family at wedding dances!!  We consider them a lot of fun!! :)
