    Where did you meet you FI/spouse?  Planet Out personals - stop laughing.

    How long have you two been together?
     7.5 years

    Detail you’re most excited about in your wedding?
     All of them? We put a lot of personal touches into the ceremony and reception. I can't wait to see out flowers/centerpieces, the cake, our tables with our favors, menus etc on them. But mostly I'm excited to see my FI walk down the aisle and that first look of her in her dress.

    Favorite TV show(s)?
     All the Showtime comedies (United States of Tara, Weeds, Nurse Jackie, The Big C), Law & Order SVU, Being Erica and Days of Our Lives is my guilty pleasure.

    Favorite musical artist(s)? 
     311, Incubus, No Doubt, Vampire Weekend, David Guetta, Lady Gaga etc.

    Are you or your FI the cook in the house (or both)? Favorite recipe? I'm the cook. I like making stir fry with chicken and veggies or making my sweetie some sauce and a  nice pasta dinner (I know the way to an Italian girl's heart!)

    I have a question on the music:
    How many times do I have to have seen Melissa Etheridge, The Indigo Girls and Brandi Carlile live before I turn into an actual lesbian?  I think I'm teetering on the brink.

    Detail you’re most excited about in your wedding?

    Where did you meet you FI/spouse?  At a Blockbuster. She was the asst. manager and I was a customer new to Nashville filling out my paperwork for my card. After several weeks of "stalking" the store and never seeing her again I happened to run into the manager who asked if I need help - I responded yes and described her, this happened to be her roomate and she told me her next 2 days schedule.  I showed up with dinner (lobster and steak plus a veggie stir fry just in case) and asked her out.  No clue if she was gay or not...but I couldn't stop thinking of this woman!

    How long have you two been together?
     15 years on July 28

    Detail you’re most excited about in your wedding?
     Seeing her walk down the aisle with her father towards me. I might just loose it right then.

    Favorite TV show(s)?
     Modern Family, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Swamp People (my FI is from LA and that area so I love to make fun), True Blood, Weeds, Nurse Jackie...

    Favorite musical artist(s)? 
     UhHuhHer, LadyGaga, BeastieBoys, JoanJett, and so on

    Are you or your FI the cook in the house (or both)? Favorite recipe? 
     We both cook and love to cook together whenever possible. No fav recipe - we try too many new things, but know what not to try again!

    Post a picture of you with you FI/Spouse!
