Hello girls! My name is Sam (short for Samantha) and my FI Kyle and just recently decided to marry in Cape Cod! It's been a bumpy road in the wedding process .. we had to other weddings in the making .. 1st one was going to be a wedding of 130 guests here in Tennessee where we both live, but the cost became too much for us to keep putting aside money for. Then, we booked a 2 week "weddingmoon" at a Couples resort in Jamaica, and we were going to get married there, just the 2 of us. Well, Kyle got a new job and we found out that he will not be allowed to take off for the whole time we needed and if he left, he would be terminated .. so we had to cancel and get our refund. SO! Here we are, pretty much starting from scratch again.
To tell you a little about us, I'm 21 and Kyle is about to be 21 himself. We are young, we get that a lot, and we are a-okay with it. We both work full time, he has a factory manager, and I has a supervisor over a crisis hotline. I am currently finishing my last semester in college as a psych major and sociology minor. I''m going to continue on to doctoral school for my PhD in clinical psych.
Kyle and I have been together for 3.5 years (tomorrow is our anniversary, actually) and we are so happy together .. at least, I know I am
.
We came to the decision of Cape Cod because I myself, gorwing up in Westchester, NY, vacationed there pretty frequently. My granparents moved there to East Harwich when they retired, and my mother has been up there too now for about 10 years. When I told her about what happened with wedding plans #2, she suggested we do a small wedding up there. She does know a lot of people there, so we could be helped out a lot financially... plus, Kyle loved it up there when I took him. It just made sense.
So far, nothing is is done in preparation for this wedding except for the fact that I have my dress lol.
Anyway, enough of my rambling. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you. I spent a good amount of time at the destination wedding board, and met a lot of good people there, and gained a lot of help and support. I'm excited to get that here as well, and provide that too. If you have any advice on how to kickstart this planning or what helped you find your place, feel free to share because I am clueless! Haha. I'm going up there Oct 16, so I'm hoping to get things rolling then .. we'd like to get married in June.
See ya around! Nice to meet you!
