. Your name & FI/DH's name: Amanda & Chris

2. Your wedding date:10-15-2011

3. Any pets?- No but as soon as I move into a permanent place I am getting at least 1 dog, hopefully 2!

4. Favorite DIY project (Feel free to AW a photo!)- I am not much of a DIY kinda girl

5. Favorite vendor (so far, if you're still planning)-No vendors so far, we don't have a reception hall book yet because the place we are using won't let you book until a year to the day of your event. Therefore, we can't book vendors yet.

6. If you're not yet married, what's the one thing about your wedding day that you're most excited about? PARTYING!

7. If you're not yet married, what's your biggest wedding day worry?- Seeing my groom before the wedding.

8. Any plans for the weekend??

FI's little sister and my little cousin are graduating!

Merin · June 2010

1. Your name & FI/DH's name: Merin & Joe

2. Your wedding date: 09.01.07

3. Any pets? Two awesome rescue kitties, Bentley & Gizmo (v points down v)

4. Favorite DIY project (Feel free to AW a photo!): Probably our centerpieces. We grew grass in little squares and then put them in wrapped boxes and surrounded them with candles. I lack good pictures here at work, but I'll put the one that I do have below.

5. Favorite vendor (so far, if you're still planning): Gosh, it's really hard to pick just one!! Kristy (Bake Shop) was unbelievably awesome, Premier Catering was awesome as well. Really all of them were great.

6b. If you are already married, what was your favorite part of your wedding day? Our first dance. It was the one time where it felt like everyone else in the room disappeared and it was just us.

7b. If you are already married, what do you wish you had done differently - if anything? I would have done a 'reveal' and photos before the ceremony. I was so incredibly nervous walking down the aisle that I hardly even looked at my groom!

8. Any plans for the weekend??

OLPH Festival tonight, housework then hopefully going out with friends tomorrow, and volunteer stuff on Sunday.

~Keryn & Matt

2. Your wedding date:
~7/3/2010...29 days away!!!

4. Favorite DIY project (Feel free to AW a photo!):

5. Favorite vendor (so far, if you're still planning):
~I love our photographers, Love is Greater, and all the staff at the Zoo.

6. If you're not yet married, what's the one thing about your wedding day that you're most excited about?

6b. If you are already married, what was your favorite part of your wedding day?

7. If you're not yet married, what's your biggest wedding day worry?

7b. If you are already married, what do you wish you had done differently - if anything?

Abbey & Shawn....CONGRATULATIONS!!! Have a wonderful day and enjoy yourselves!!! So very excited for you...can't wait to hear how everything went and to see some pics!!!

cschuma2 · June 2010

1. Your name & FI/DH's name: Colleen & Adam

2. Your wedding date: October 10, 2009

3. Any pets? We have two cats: Jasmine and Cosmo.

My dorky cat sits like this all of the time. He's quite fluffy... also a little chubby.

4. Favorite DIY project (Feel free to AW a photo!): Definitely our invitations. Unfortunately, I don't have a great picture.

5. Favorite vendor (so far, if you're still planning): Maybe the florist? Sherry's Touch. She was super friendly and wonderful to work with. I was very happy with my bouquets and they were cheap!

6. If you're not yet married, what's the one thing about your wedding day that you're most excited about?

6b. If you are already married, what was your favorite part of your wedding day? The couple slow dances I got in with my hubby at the reception. It seemed like our only opportunity where we were able to have a one-on-one conversation.

7. If you're not yet married, what's your biggest wedding day worry?
I am married... but... my biggest worry was rain since we were having an outdoor ceremony. Our back up location would have been seriously disappointing.

7b. If you are already married, what do you wish you had done differently - if anything? Nothing major is really coming to mind. If I had to pick something, I wish I would have thought about which photos were must-haves. I am overall happy with my pictures, but I wish I would have been photographed with just my sisters, and some other shots.

8. Any plans for the weekend?? This is my weekend to work.

After work, hopefully my husband and I can repair our yard. We had a new concrete driveway poured and we have to do some landscaping now.

catarntina · June 2010

1. Your name & FI/DH's name: Cathy & Chris

2. Your wedding date: November 27, 2010

3. Any pets? We have 1 dog and 1 cat. They don't get along very well at all.

4. Favorite DIY project (Feel free to AW a photo!): The invitations are the only thing I've done yet. I plan on making some kind of favors too.

5. Favorite vendor (so far, if you're still planning): I like my DJ -- Doug Bermick w/ professional sounds. So far, the catering/hall people seem pretty nice to work with -- Gladieux.

6. If you're not yet married, what's the one thing about your wedding day that you're most excited about? Wearing my dress and seeing Chris's face when he sees me in it.

6b. If you are already married, what was your favorite part of your wedding day?

7. If you're not yet married, what's your biggest wedding day worry? I'm having a catholic wedding at Regina Coeli, but I live in Colorado. I'm paranoid that not all the paperwork will be sent over from my church in Colorado to the church in Toledo and the priest can't do the ceremony. Or that the Lucas County courthouse will be closed the day we plan to get our marriage license since we're getting married Thanksgiving weekend. Their website *says* they're opened, but I'm still paranoid since I'll be getting the license 4 days before the wedding. I like to make sure things like this are taken care of well in advance, but we don't have the vacation time to come to Toledo just to get a marriage license.

7b. If you are already married, what do you wish you had done differently - if anything?

8. Any plans for the weekend??

Relaxing, and my weekly house cleaning spree.

Jessica and Don

2. Your wedding date:
April 16, 2011

3. Any pets?
Just a few fish

4. Favorite DIY project (Feel free to AW a photo!):
Haven't really actually DONE much lol Have tons of ideas though!

5. Favorite vendor (so far, if you're still planning):
I actually only have the pastor/church and reception hall taken care of as of yet...Might not be working with "vendors" exactly at all. A lot of DIY and friends of friends pitching in their expertise so far.

6. If you're not yet married, what's the one thing about your wedding day that you're most excited about?
Everything? I get a little overwhelmed just thinking about it all right now.

That something catastrophic will happen and somehow mess up the whole thing - someone won't go to the right place, food won't be delivered, stuff like that.

8. Any plans for the weekend??
Helping my sister clean her apartment so we can have a garage sale this summer, also going to be looking at e-pics of others to see what poses/ideas I like.

Well the Nest is broken, so I figured I'd post a bit with you ladies today.

I think it's been a little while since I've seen a 'getting to know you' post, so I figured I would give it a shot.

snar · June 2010

1. Your name & FI/DH's name: Jenny and Ryan

2. Your wedding date: 7-10-10 --- so soon!

3. Any pets? One incredibly adorable pooch.

4. Favorite DIY project (Feel free to AW a photo!): I'm a grad student so I haven't really had time to do anything myself. However, my future sister in law is amazingly crafty and made a huge (about 6 ft) photo tree for us to use at the shower and reception. She went into the woods and cut down branches, wildflowers, etc, spray painted them white and hung tiny pictures off each branch. It is beautifully modern.

5. Favorite vendor (so far, if you're still planning): My florist, Pollyn Flowers. Every time I meet with her she makes me even more excited for the big day.

6. If you're not yet married, what's the one thing about your wedding day that you're most excited about? I am excited to open my fiance's morning-of letter. We love the idea of writing our own vows, but don't want to cry hysterically in front of everyone --- so, we are writing each other letters to open when we wake up the morning of the wedding. This way, we get to say to one another what we want to say, but also get to keep it a little more intimate. Also, my family is from Nebraska, so I'm super excited to celebrate with everyone who I haven't seen in a while.

6b. If you are already married, what was your favorite part of your wedding day?

7. If you're not yet married, what's your biggest wedding day worry? Usually, I'm a huge worrier, but when it comes to the wedding I've been surprisingly calm. We recognize that wedding days generally don't go as planned, so we've left alot of it semi-structured. I guess my biggest worry is how to pee in my dress, haha. Spanx + corset wedding dress + dislike of peeing in public = slight distress.

7b. If you are already married, what do you wish you had done differently - if anything?

8. Any plans for the weekend?? Nope.
