Hey ladies! I introduced myself a few months ago when I was NEY and in crazy wedding mode, and then kinda calmed down and went away for a bit. But I wanted to re-introduce myself because after our vacation to London two weeks ago, I am now engaged!
I'm from MN originally, but currently live in Philly, which is where I met FI. I'm 29 (30 next month!) and he's 31. We've known eachother for 6 years, but have been dating for almost 5 years. We have 2 adorable puppies, Ezra and Nero, and own a house right outside of Philly.
He proposed on the Tower of London Bridge two Wednesdays ago - it was pretty surreal, heh.
We're still slowly telling people, as I really want to tell people in person. We'll be back in MN next month so I'm telling the rest of my family and friends then. It's gonna kill me waiting that long I think though, heh.
I'm really looking forward to chatting with you ladies and getting recommendations on local vendors, as I'll be planning everything from Philly. So thank you in advance for suggetsions!
I tentatively have us penciled in at the PEC on May 26th in Diamond Hall. I LOVE the venue, and I'm trying to wait until he sees it to book, but told them that I would book over the phone if we needed to. Here is my first of what is probably many questions for other PEC brides:
My dad swears that sales tax and gratuity will be put towards the minimum. I'm pretty sure it's after you hit the minimum. For those of you who had/are having your wedding's at PEC, which is it?
Alrighty, that's it for, now. I'm sure I will be peppering the board with questions over the next few months. Good luck to everyone else who's planning right now, and congrats to everyone!
