  Your name & your FI's name:  Holly & Mike
  
  PART A: WR
  What is something you wish you could have at the wedding but dont? A bluegrass duo or trio to play for the ceremony. Still not 100% sure this won't happen, but so far have just not found anyone.
  What has been your favourite part of wedding planning up to this point? Just the daydreaming with M about how the day will go. And working with the florist, she was great!
  Another knottie on this board whose wedding you'd like to attend? I don't feel like I know anyone well enough to really say!
  What is your biggest must have photo (limit of 3)? If either of my grandmothers can make it (one is 92, the other is 100!), then for sure pictures with them. Oh, and a sunset pic with us silhouetted against Mt. Hood. *happy sigh*
  How many guests are you inviting? About 115
  How big is your wedding party? 6: 3 for him (his 3 brothers), 3 for me (3 of my best girlfriends). Possibly a flower girl but she will not quite yet be 3 and her mom and I have elected to play it by ear and see if she's ready.
  
  PART B: NWR
  What is your favourite movie? Say Anything or Best in Show
  Is there any significance to your screenname? An old nickname + my state
  What is your favourite flavour of ice cream? I just ate some Salted Caramel Cupcake this last weekend from a local shop called Salt & Straw that blew my tiny mind. But strawberry is my go-to for common flavors.
  What is your favourite colour? Green.
  What do you do for a living? ICU charge nurse
  What is your biggest pet peeve? Leaving cabinet doors open and just walking out of the room. Why, why, why? I'd say that was exclusively FI-related but people do it at work sometimes. And I had a roommate who did it all the damn time and I wanted to brain him, for reals.

  [QUOTE]MrsBassPlaya - I LOVE the sweets you can get on Mackinac Island lol! FI and I did a weekend vaca there last May and I ate SO much junk food... It was one of the greatest weekend retreats ever (and that's not even including the fact we got engaged lol)

  That ice cream is absolutely amazing!  I haven't been to Mackinac Island yet, but I've been up to Mackinaw City a few times. and MI has that ice cream everywhere.  I want to go to the island, but I just haven't made it a prority yet.  I spent 14 years living in MI, and since I moved away but still have family there, FI and I acutally want to visit some places when we come into town.  Mackinaw City is a good 2/3 of the way stopping point for us driving from the Twin Cities if we go through the UP.  Usually we just go down around Chicago, but I like the change sometimes.

  
  

  So In Love

  FMIL won a raffle and the prize was a weekend stay on Mackinac Island. This was when FI and I were just dating, so she gave it to us. We booked it for FI's birthday weekend (which is only a couple weeks after mine) so we could have a birthday vaca.... and on his birthday he proposed

  PART A: WR
  What is something you wish you could have at the wedding but dont? 

  I don't think there is anything.  We pretty much have everything we want. Although, location wise, I wish we could have a ceremony at sunset over looking the Pacific.
  What has been your favourite part of wedding planning up to this point? 

  Honestly, everything.  However, I can't wait until it's over because I can't stand the anxiety!
  Another knottie on this board whose wedding you'd like to attend? 

  Not really sure.  I'm not on the board enough to know too much about other weddings.
  What is your biggest must have photo (limit of 3)? 

  3. A photo of us before the wedding, but we don't want to see each other.

  2. Our first kiss after we are husband and wife.

  1. His reaction when he see's me for the first time.
  How many guests are you inviting? 

  The list started at 80 and has grown to 130. LOL, not our intention at all.  We wanted a guest list under 100, but we have become really close with people since we started the list and we wouldn't feel right not including them!

  How big is your wedding party? 

  5 members each! 
  
  PART B: NWR
  What is your favourite movie? 

  This is a reeeeeally vague question for me since I'm a HUGE movie fanatic! I LOOOOOVE Dumb and Dumber, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Because I Said So, Beaches, Hope Floats ... Ahhh, I can go on and on!!!
  Is there any significance to your screenname? 

  Absolutely, it's the album title of one of my favorite bands evvverrr!! 
  What is your favourite flavour of ice cream? 

  Butter Pecan!! Preferably Thriftys!
  What is your favourite colour? 

  Pinks and greens. One of our colors is actually Pistachio (Bridesmaid dresses) and I'm incorporating blush into the bouquets!
  What do you do for a living? 

  I'm actually a stay at home Fiance now, but before the economy took a crap and we just decided to retire me I worked as the only Accounts Receivable and Collections rep for a Subpoena Company. I also have several years of experience in retail management.
  What is your biggest pet peeve?

  Disrespectful children.

  Parents who let their children run around like barn animals.

  People who drive in the fast lane or the HOV lane at either the speed limit or under.

  Rude customers.

  People who don't text back in a timely manner.

  Bad grammar and uneducated people.
