    Wedding/Anniversary Date: Our dating anniversary is November 2, 2008, but we have no wedding date set. We just now today started talking about planning again after our issues in December. Sometime in the next couple of years, though.

    How did you meet your FI/DH: College class. I asked him to help me set up the school's internet network on my laptop because I didn't know how. We got to talking, and two months later got together.

    Favorite thing about your FI/DH: There are so many "things" that make him up that it's hard to pick just one! But I'll go with his ability to talk me down from my metaphorical tree (even when HE's the one who made me climb it!).

    If money was no object, where would you live: Not this apartment. We'd probably design our own house, but we'd have to agree on where to put it; he wants to move back to NYC and I would rather stay here.

    Dream vacation spot: Mountains. I didn't experience mountains till I was 15 and went to Mexico, and I fell in love. I'd say the beach, but I live in Florida and there is a beach less than a 30-minute drive from my house.

    Do you have any unique talents or hobbies: Unique? No.

    If you were given $5k and had to spend it in a week, how would you go about doing that?: Oh. Oh, this is hard. Practical Sarah says pay off bills, save some and buy necessary items with the rest. But if it was specifically for fun and not to be used for Practical Things, there would be a fair bit of yarn, beads, and shiny things coming into this house!

    Wedding/Anniversary Date: 12/30/2011
    How did you meet your FI/DH: We met through mutual friends about 9 years ago.
    Favorite thing about your FI/DH: I love the fact that he's so easy going and loving.

    The get-to-know-you questions:

    If money was no object, where would you live: I would probably live in a couple of different places such as New York, somewhere in California, and somewhere overseas, maybe Dubai?
    Dream vacation spot: Bora Bora (hopefully going there for our honeymoon, fingers crossed!) & the Maldives.
    Do you have any unique talents or hobbies: I'm not very talented at all but I do love reading if that's considered a hobby! Nora Roberts' novels are my guilty pleasures.
    If you were given $5k and had to spend it in a week, how would you go about doing that? I'd probably give it to my parents since they're spending so much money on my wedding.

    Anniversary Date: 5/28/2011
    How did you meet your DH: Online
    Favorite thing about your DH: He knows what makes me tick.  And when to surprise me with a brownie.

    If money was no object, where would you live: I'd divide my time between Paris and the south of France.  In the States?  New York.

    Dream vacation spot: Oh, man.  I can't keep it to just one!  I live near the beach, so sunshine and the ocean aren't such a priority.  I guess my next top destination is probably Japan?

    Do you have any unique talents or hobbies:  I speak a bunch of languages.  French, Spanish, Portuguese and then a little Hindi and Gujarati.

    If you were given $5k and had to spend it in a week, how would you go about doing that?  Responsibly or not?  Irresponsibly, I might just put the money down on this: http://www.faycullen.com/Necklaces--Pendants/1133/

    Less irresponsibly, I would like to jet to Brazil for a week.

    Most responsibly, I would put it towards our future down payment on a house.
