Holy Crap.

I'm posting this one day prematurely because I won't be around much tomorrow (have to drive to New Orleans to pick up my wedding dress!).
6 months. That's how long until I get married. I could throw up.
Anyone got anything interesting to put in this otherwise pointless thread?

[QUOTE]*sniff sniff* I remember when you first got engaged. Time goes by so fast. I have nothing interesting, just falling asleep at my desk.

I don't think I know this story. Or at least I don't remember it.
In honor of this milestone, Elle, I request some nostalgic retelling please :)

Here's a pretty Christmas tree for your thread. It's in my office, and the ornaments need to get themselves on the tree 'cause I have a headache.
I haz a planning bio
[QUOTE]I also want to add that your wedding is seriously AMAZING.

<div>And thanks, Jaycee! I hope everything comes together well.</div>
I don't really have much to add to this thread. I finished writing an 11 page paper at about 3:30 am. I need at least a C on this paper and a B on the final to get a C in the class, fingers crossed that I didn't fail!

That's AWESOME.
[QUOTE]Ok, engagement story: FI got the ring in October, after several months of working together with a jeweler. I knew he had the ring, because the jeweler accidentally included me on the shipment notification. We were long-distance at the time, so every time we saw each other I was convinced it was going to be it, and I kept being wrong. Then just before Christmas, we went skiing at Copper Mountain and I was sure that would be it. But still no. A few weeks later, just before the start of his Spring semester, FI decided he hadn't quite gotten his fill of skiing for the year, yet, so we hopped in the car and drove 15 hours to Taos, NM. I wasn't worried about getting engaged on that trip, because I had seen the ring box sitting on the dresser just before we left, so I thought he wasn't bringing it. We had several fun days, then one night we were hanging out in our hotel room (which ended up being gorgeous and a great deal), I joked that if he didn't propose soon, I was just going to start planning the wedding without him. He said, "Fine, I'll propose to you right now if you want." or something like that. I told him I knew he didn't have the ring but he raised his eyebrows and told me that maybe he did after all. A little while later, I walked out onto the patio, which was covered with snow and had a great view of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, to let my dog use the bathroom (we brought him with us) and I turned around and saw FI rummaging in his bag. So from that moment, I knew what was happening. He came out and said "Will you have this much fun with me for the rest of our lives?" and I, of course, said yes.

This story gave me chills! Love it :)
I love your story.
It is beautiful!!
I know I am starting to freak out and I am 5 months away! 5 months! I have nothing planned besides a venue, dress, church and a groom. OMG. Oh and I have colors and BMS and FI has GMs. You girls are going to have to help me. I am not very creative.
I have nothing of interest to add to this thread other then my mini freak out
Married! May 27th, 2012

<div>Haha, yes. I loved that he said that. Fun has always been the foundation of our relationship. We realized when we were just a few months in that we both love to waterski and wanted to live on a lake someday, and that was it for me lol. I would never marry anyone if I thought they would ever get old and boring, and apparently he feels the same way.</div><div>
</div><div>Thanks everyone! I had never thought about how few of you had actually heard the story.</div>

</div><div>You're ahead of me. I don't have a wedding party yet. I keep saying I haven't picked because I'm waiting for FI to figure out who he wants to involve so we can coordinate numbers, but really, I'm just lame. Trying to figure out who I want as BMs is causing me way too much stress.</div><div>
</div>
You have a great story
