My Fiance enlisted in the Navy Dec of 08 and left for bootcamp Sept 09 so we have had a pretty lively relationship up until that point. We have a 2 year old red earred slider (turtle) named Trinket. He is the size of a half dollar. When we are able to live together we are going to rescue more animals!
Fun fact: I met my fiance in Ecuador and were only able to spend two months together because my Ecuadorian visa had expired and I needed to go back to Canada. I am Canadian and I am having the hardest time trying to figure out what needs to be done to make all of this actually work out so we can finally be together physically. He is currently stationed in Moscow and will be overseas until next year. We have had to spend the last year and a half apart due to his orders and where he has been stationed. I just can't wait until the day we can actually be in the same place!!
Name: Stephanie Wedding Date: Very much up in the air right now Fun Fact: We are still finding glitter from my College's 2007 Winter Formal on his Dress Greens and they've been cleaned several times since that dance.
SamanthaJoe (or Sam) December 18th, 2010 Fun Fact: We're dual military, I'm Navy, he's a Marine. We met at a bar on the base we were both stationed at when I kicked his butt at beer pong. I put my number in his phone, he texted me later that night saying that my cute name had to match my cute personality & We've been together ever since!
Name: Julie Wedding Date: January 8th, 2011 Fun Fact: My FH Dave wanted to propose to me at a totallly random moment so I would still be shocked (we had been talking about it and I had already picked out the ring) so he proposed on our way to get olives for dinner. I HATE olives!
Name: Heather Wedding Date: June 11, 2010(JOP type) and ceremony/reception June 11, 2011 Fun Fact: We met online on a random website while he was deployed and I met all his friends and his mom in person before seeing him in person at his welcome home ceremony!!! Been in love ever since!
Name: Cate Wedding Date: Not yet engaged, but we plan on summer 2012 (before he's active duty and the Marines have a chance to screw up our plans with orders!) How we met: Playing kickball! We were really good friends for awhile and dating other people. One night he was hanging out at my house before going on a blind date his friend had set up for him. He asked what I was up to after he left, and I said I was going to find someone to play Monopoly. He said he'd play until his date called, so we started playing. An hour later he told her he wasn't going out, and we played Monopoly until 4am when he finally got the guts to try and kiss me. I ducked! I told him that there were 95 reasons we should just be friends - he asked me to name them. I got to 3 (not very good ones) before I said, "Screw it" and jumped him! We've been together ever since.
My name is Kelsey Our wedding date WAS October 9, 2010, but now it will probably be in August sometime of this year (thank you military for changing our plans haha) A fun fact about my fiance and I: we really are high school sweethearts. We started dating when I was 13 years old(8th grade) and he was 15(10th grade). We are now 20 and 22! I love him with all of my heart and I am so lucky to have found my soulmate at 13 years old!
B and I have been together for two year and we have golden retrievers that we are totally in love with. They are our children and we want to include them in our wedding.

Name: Michelle Wedding date: TBD (He just got his orders yesterday to serve in Afghanistan for 14 months starting in August, so our original date of 9/10/11 is no longer possible.)
I got laid off from my job of 5 years back in 2008. After being unemployed for a few months, I took the first offer I got doing inventory for a home improvement store. While training, I was introduced to Sean, one of the managers. He was walking and reading his paperwork, paying no attention to what was in front of him and literally ran into me. A co-worker introduced me as his new IM, he barely looked up, just said "nice to meet you, Michelle", bobbed his head in this quirky little way and went back to reading and walking. I was informed that he was a really sweet guy, but just very shy. I was hooked. I knew I had to get to know him, even though I was too shy to start conversations with him. I spent the next four months agonizing over the tiniest of conversation during the rare times we actually worked the same hours. Eventually, the weather warmed up and we found ourselves out on break together often and we started talking. (Awkwardly - awkward conversation was better than awkward silence.) I had found out he was in the Army Reserves during these conversations and at that point decided I could not think about anything happening between us. I always told myself I'd never get involved with a military man, nor someone at work (especially a superior.) I started seeing someone else casually, but could not get Sean off my mind. My stomach still fluttered every time I'd see or speak to him. One day, I grew a pair. I gave him my phone number, fully expecting a rejection. He called me as soon as he got out of work that same day. Not only was I not rejected, but he had felt the same about me since the first time he met me, but was too shy to say anything about it. We knew within 2 weeks that this was it, we didn't want anyone else. He asked me to marry him this past Monday. Saturday...he got his orders for his first deployment.
We were highschool sweethearts since my sophmore year. Long distance since he left for USMC bootcamp in October 09, and is now stationed in Twentynine Palms, CA. Can't wait to move!
Proud Marine Fiance!!
I may wear the Glass Slippers, but my Hero wears the Combat Boots!
Soon to be a MRS!!
I'm so glad this post is up since I never introduced myself.
I'm Monica and my FI's name is Chris. (As per the sn) Our wedding date is 5 Nov 2010 We met in the Marine Corps while both of us were in training for our jobs. Weird fact is that my dad went to his open house to purchase his house 5 years before we even met!!! Creepy!
The name is Ashlee-Dawn. My Marine's name is Damian.
We're not technically engaged yet because he is deployed and we had a bit of a rough time before he left, but he's going to officially ask me when he comes home in November and the wedding is hopefully March 26, 2011
Fun fact: We met our Sophomore year of high school when he moved to my town. I thought he was cute from the first day I saw him, but he didn't seem to care for me much. The first time we spoke we were in biology class doing a worksheet. I couldn't find an answer in the book so I shouted across the classroom, "Hey, new kid! Are you smart!? What's the answer to number 10?" I have no idea if it was really number 10 but you get the idea. We've been together since the middle of our Junior year of high school (so 3.5 years).

Hey guys! I'm Aly, and my husband is Richard. We JOPed 4/15/09, but our Religious ceremony is on 10/23/10. I'm looking forward to it so much! Fun Facts: It took almost 7 years for DH to get me to agree to go on a date with him because I couldn't stand him in high school. We're like the anti-high school sweethearts. LOL. Since that it's been nothing but magic.
Fun Fact: We grew up together at the same small church for about 15 years. We were in the the same sunday school classes, musicals, youth group, we even went to camp together and despite seeing each other week in and week out for years we never talked or thought much about each other. Fast forward 4 years after both of our families switched churches, I was in college and he enlisted in the Marine Corps.. we randomly met up over his leave and I now have no idea how I ignored him for so many years!!!!
I know I'm late to the party, but I have been exploring the boards and figured I may as well introduce myself. Name: Amy Wedding Date: 4 February 2011 Fun Fact: FI and I went to the same high school for 4 years, had some mutual friends, but didn't "officially" meet until a year after graduation. He's now in the AF and was deployed in Iraq at the same time as my dad (who is also in the AF).
Name: Amanda Wedding date: undecided..sometime in Sept. 2011 Fun fact: I had only seen my fiance 5 times in person before I moved to Hawaii to be with him after 4 months of long distance dating.
Fun Fact about you/FI: We actually went to elementary & high school together and I even was a cheerleader for him for 3 seasons however we never talked until 5 years later. From that days forward we have been inseperable.
