Major: Bachelor of Science in Nursing
School: Medcentral College
Year: SENIOR!!
Residence: Just north of Columbus
Interesting thing about you: My soon to be hubby and I are both EMT's, and he is also a fireman.
Biggest wedding planning challenge thus far: Trying to make a solid decision on ANYTHING. Regardless of the good ideas we've come up with I cannot make up my mind on anything.

stephdonjon · July 2010

@ callalilly: Oof, yeah... I'm relieved that I'll be done with the wedding before I have to start my thesis. I tend to obsess over papers as it as, so my thesis will be tenfold that stress.

@ rice: Haha! I feel ya. When I first started planning a couple months ago, I had such a different vision from the direction we've finally decided to go in. A direction we only really decided on in the last couple of weeks. It'll get easier, promise!

Danielle&Nanne · July 2010

@ Sharayah: No, I'm not from NL, but I'll live there eventually!

@ Stephdonjon: Yeah... and it's hilarious to me that my family in Boston tell me that the drive just takes *so* much out of them when the rest of the family has to fly for about 12 hours.

KlassyWithaK · July 2010

Wedding Date: May 14, 2011
Major: Psychology with a speciality in Applied Behavior Analysis
School: Florida State
Year: 2nd year grad student
Residence: Tallahassee, FL
Interesting thing about you: I taught my cat to walk on a leash. Just because I could.
Biggest wedding planning challenge thus far: Keeping my FI in budget! He wants so many things and I have to constantly remind him that we just can't do that.

stephdonjon · July 2010

@ KlassyWithaK: "Interesting thing about you: I taught my cat to walk on a leash. Just because I could." Ha! Nice!

KellyLovesBrandon · July 2010

Wedding Date: June 22, 2013 (Though I suppose that could change after this year)
Major: K-12 Music Education
School: Albion College
Year: Super-senior, one more semester for student teaching
Residence: Michigan
Interesting thing about you: I got into a fight with a mirror as a baby and lost. It's ok, the damage was minimal, only two pale scars on my face. I think it's a funny story.
Biggest wedding planning challenge thus far: Well, since it's so far away, I'm trying really hard not to plan much. If anything, it's the date. He wants to wait until he's done with dental school, but I'd rather not wait for four years. It'll probably be set after he's done with his first year.

stephdonjon · July 2010

@ auwon : Welcome to the board! I hope you see more posting from you in the future! 8 hours a day practicing is insane, although I guess I spent quite a bit of time in coaching sessions when I was on the speech team at my undergraduate school.
As for the budget, don't stress. I'm actually more partial to the cute backyard DIY weddings than the platinum weddings. I can't imagine spending upwards of $30,000 on one night, even if it is a special night. The focus should be your love for each other, not the flashy decor and overpriced shrimp platters. :P As for centerpieces, artificial flowers are an option, too.

auwon · July 2010

Thanks Steph! I'm trying not to stress too much about the budget and I have found a lot of great ideas through the knot and other resources. So far so good!

alinkchicka · July 2010

Wedding Date: May 14, 2011
Major: Nursing
School: Hocking College
Year: RN program (finish this quarter and one more and I am done)
Residence: Athens, Ohio
Interesting thing about you: I have ran 2 marathons.
Biggest wedding planning challenge thus far: Finding a photographer. It was the most important thing to me so I put a lot of stress on it. I finally found an awesome photographer that I love to death and I am so happy and it was well worth it!

as4119 · July 2010

Hi everyone!
Wedding Date: June 1st, 2013

Major: Biochemistry

School: New York University

Year: Senior, baby!!

Residence: New York, NY
Interesting thing about you: I've known where I wanted to go to college since I was 8. No one could change my mind! Oh, and I got to meet David Tutera the other day, he was AMAZING!!
Biggest wedding planning challenge thus far: Trying NOT to plan or look at dresses!! Three years is a long time, and I know my tastes will change before then, they already have, like, a million times, haha.

stephdonjon · July 2010

@ as4119: I've been to your school before. My first time in NY, actually. I had considered going there for graduate school.

kdm06c · July 2010

Wedding Date: June 26, 2011

Major: Risk Management/Insurance, Real Estate, and General Management

School: Florida State University

Year: Senior.... I can't wait to be done... Just 7 more classes!

Residence: Havana, Fl

Interesting thing about you: My DF and I just had our first LO, Mathieu!! We also have 3 dogs (Banjo, Bella, and Bear) and a cat (Bliss).

Biggest wedding planning challenge thus far: I would say there is a tie between two things! 1) picking a date... and 2) picking a place... we live in Florida but most of our family lives back in Mississippi...

fadingdawn20 · July 2010

Wedding Date: April 2, 2011

Major: Accounting (B.S., finance collateral) and Music (B.A.) yup, I'm getting a double degree!

School: University of Tennessee, Knoxville

Year: 5th year senior, one semester to go!!

Residence: Knoxville, TN

Interesting thing about you: I have 2 totally different majors, but will have 2 bachelor's degrees when I'm done in December. Also, I'm already a homeowner!

which is an awesome start for me and FH.

Biggest wedding planning challenge thus far: getting my parents to give me a concrete amount they will contribute. I know they want to contribute, they just won't tell me how much. it's frustrating!

marinabreeze · July 2010

This is neat:-)

Wedding Date: May 28, 2011
Major: Political Science: public opinion and survey research, politics and religion
School: University of Cincinnati
Year: 6-7 year grad student (PhD) (took some time off then went back, looking to defend either this summer or early in the fall)
Residence: Cincinnati, OH - I'm originally from Detroit but I've made peace with Cincinnati ;-), and FI is from here, so I will probably stay here long-term.
Interesting thing about you: I enjoy video games...I've started getting into Pokemon on the DS recently
Biggest wedding planning challenge thus far: Budget and timeline. Both FI and I are students and wanted to be finished before getting married, and also neither of us want to spend a ton of money for one day even though it's expected at least on my side of the family. I've gotten to the point now to where I'm more comfortable with asserting that the vision that FI and I have is in line with who we are, and that's okay (as long as we treat our guests well).

stephdonjon · July 2010

@marinabreeze: Hey, you're getting married on my birthday! Also, I love that you've been playing pokemon. Haha.

ksmith67 · July 2010

Biggest wedding planning challenge thus far: figuring out how to pick a winter wedding date that would work for his family(5 hours away and unfamiliar with my hometown area), my family(big into hunting), and my school schedule(the week BEFORE finals! eek!).

lynniearudner · July 2010

good idea, ill play

Year: Im just starting my 6th year in the program, will be done in May 2012 (7 years)
Residence: Salt Lake City, Utah
Interesting thing about you: My left eye is two colors -- green and brown, split right down the middle
Biggest wedding planning challenge thus far: Not wedding specific, but I live 2000 miles away from my FI, and from where we are getting married (the place is 5 hours from him, too) so planning has been a challenge. Heck, life is a little challenging being far from him!

xjulie2188x · July 2010

School: Capital University

Interesting thing about you: My fiance is in the Air Force (& I'm very proud of him), so 2 out of the 4 years we've been together has been long distance.
Biggest wedding planning challenge thus far: Budget, timing & planning things knowing that things could all change in a second due to the military.
