Re: Random Sunday Survey

  • I'll bite! I like surveys (:

    WR: 1. Top three favorite things about wedding planning. DIYing centerpieces, looking at pretty dresses, being girly with my bridesmaids
    2. Will your wedding shoes be colorful, sparkly, and/or shades of white (i.e. ivory shoes)? Please describe :)Glitter pumps! They're peep-toe with multi-colored glitter.
    3. Indoor or outdoor ceremony? Indoor
    4. Most significant/special detail about your wedding day? (i.e. the venue is where you two met, the colors are a combo of his and your likes, etc.) I don't have many details yet, but so far it's that my 'something blue' is my class ring. FI and I met in college and we'll each be wearing one.
    5. Veil or not? Veil!
    NWR: 6. What was the best part of this weekend so far? Going to a "Winter Wonderland" fair/carnival/Christmas market.
    7. Any furbabies/babybabies you wanna share pictures of? I wish. FI and I live in a little apartment and have moved a lot in the past two years, so no furbabies even.
    8. When was the last time you got dressed up? Why? Oof, I don't remember. I don't dress up much.
    9. What's for dinner tonight? Chicken korma and tikka masala with pilau rice.
    10. What was the last article of clothing you got for yourself? Link us to it! Yeah, I don't buy clothes too much, either. I'm a jeans and plain blouse kinda gal.

    WR:
    1. Top three favorite things about wedding planning.
    Almost everything.  I like coordinating everything, the meetings, etc.  I like coming up with ideas for DIY projects.  I wish I could do this for a living!
    2. Will your wedding shoes be colorful, sparkly, and/or shades of white (i.e. ivory shoes)? Please describe :)
    Haven't started thinking about shoes yet?  I like the idea of sparkly though :)
    3. Indoor or outdoor ceremony?
    Indoor, at our church.  This was very important to FMIL. 
    4. Most significant/special detail about your wedding day? (i.e. the venue is where you two met, the colors are a combo of his and your likes, etc.)
    Not sure yet?  So far, I'd say our unity candle - which is a candle that FI gave me our very first Christmas together, as freshmen in high school.
    5. Veil or not?
    Probably?
    NWR:
    6. What was the best part of this weekend so far?
    We went to a Christmas party for FI's work and I finally got to meet a lot of his coworkers I've heard so much about.  Loved them!
    7. Any furbabies/babybabies you wanna share pictures of?
    Oh no... Maybe someday:)
    8. When was the last time you got dressed up? Why?
    Hmmm... A funeral in September?  It doesn't happen often enough.
    9. What's for dinner tonight?
    FI's in charge of dinner (I'm at work until 8), so probably something yummy from the grill!
    10. What was the last article of clothing you got for yourself? Link us to it!
    Can't even remember.... :(  Wish it was this though!

  • WR:
    1. Top three favorite things about wedding planning.
    So far I'd have to say going to tastings, trying on dresses, and touring venues thinking "OMG we are getting married at one of these places!".

    2. Will your wedding shoes be colorful, sparkly, and/or shades of white (i.e. ivory shoes)? Please describe :)
    I asked because I dunno what I'm gonna do! I wanted really colorful ones for a while, then I thought I should pick more practical shoes so I will actually wear them after the wedding. Today I'm leaning towards beige colored shoes.

    3. Indoor or outdoor ceremony?
    Outdoor. I was sooo against this before actually selecting the site. Now I'm so excited to get married under some shady trees :)

    4. Most significant/special detail about your wedding day? (i.e. the venue is where you two met, the colors are a combo of his and your likes, etc.)
    So far I think the most special detail is that we are getting married in a place that reminds me of how much of Virginia I have experienced with my FI. I really love this place and I'm excited to start our family here.

    5. Veil or not?
    Veil. I have conflicitng feelings about this because part of me wants to avoid  wearing one because I feel kind of goofy, but if I know myself--which I think I do--I'll regret not putting on the whole shpeal as a bride, because it didn't orginially feel like "me". Yeah, on a regular day you would  not catch me wearing one, but on my wedding day you will!

    NWR:
    6. What was the best part of this weekend so far?
    Having such a good time at a holiday party. FI is a fun date and I think I am too!

    7. Any furbabies/babybabies you wanna share pictures of?
    Nope. I wish I had something furry and cute of my own to share. Here's some body else's cute furbaby!




    8. When was the last time you got dressed up? Why?
    The party yesterday. I love the rare occasions when it seems important to have my nails painted and just the exact right accessories.

    9. What's for dinner tonight?
    My parents are having us over. I have no idea what is on the menu but I'm puuuumped not to have to cook myself. And it'll be nice to see them.

    10. What was the last article of clothing you got for yourself? Link us to it!
    I bought new dress pants from the GAP on Black Friday. I got a deal but I will have to return them because they aren't exactly what I am looking for. Such a bummer. They look like this: www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=57240&vid=1&pid=851561">http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=57240&vid=1&pid=851561

      There's a lot of significant details for different reasons.  We're serving beers & wines that have memories for us, our menu is based entirely around our favorites & trips we've gone on together.  My sash on my dress will have a brooch that my grandfather (who passed away, and will be my only grandparent not at my wedding) gave to my grandma.  My engagement ring is made with the diamond from my Mom's grandma's engagement ring.  It's all about the symbolism!

    NWR:
    6. What was the best part of this weekend so far? Cuddling my puppy!

What's for dinner tonight?  Whatever FI makes.  I'm a spoiled, spoiled woman!  I love cooking and am really VERY good at it, if I suspend modesty for a minute, but he's REALLY good and always has a hot meal waiting for me by the time I get home.  He usually has the dishes done, too. I won the FI lottery!

    10. What was the last article of clothing you got for yourself? Link us to it!  Uh... probably socks.  Sorry, not exciting and have no money!
