Re: Hey there! I'm a newbie

  • Welcome!!  I need pictures of the furbabies, ASAP.
  • Welcome welcome! I'm another Floridian lee co. and we are getting married the same date. How are your plans coming along? And yes, pics of furbabies are required esp on a Monday.
    S'mores. Just S'mores please.
  • Pics will be up when I get to work this afternoon, my laptop at home is broken! I'm using a local company that actually caters more to visitors who aren't here to actually plan their key west wedding, so my whole ceremony is taken care of they provide the arches, aisle runners, officiants, transportation, cake, flowers, the whole none yards! we're having trouble finding the right reception spot... the keys are so freakin expensive!!
  • and by "the whole none yards" I really mean "nine"....haha happy Monday y'all!

    We considered a DW to the Keys.  Once I found out how expensive it was we ended up in Naples with a lot more guests for less money.  We have been meaning to get down there for ever - we will make it one day.  <div>
    </div><div>Do you have your dress yet?  Is your wedding on the beach?  How did you get engaged?

    </div><div>ETA: I just glanced back at your post and saw that your FI screams at the TV during COD - what is with men that do this?  I leave the house when I see the PS remotes out because FI turns into a 12 year old.</div></div>

    We are getting married on the beach! we're having the ceremony at fort zachary taylor, we're most likely going to end up having a big backyard reception at my parents house. I have a trip planned to go to Miami next weekend for a few fittings finally! The only downside to living in Key West.....shopping has to be planned in advance and requires a 3 hour drive <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cry.gif" border="0" alt="Cry" title="Cry" /> He proposed while we were still living in Virginia in the middle of one of our fishing trips. He took me away from our group of friends and said he "needed me to help him find a better spot" and he got down on his knee and told me he wanted me to be by his side forever. After saying yes, he ran back to his friends and fist pumped "i'm engaged dudes!" very low key...and SO him lol.

    And ladies here are the long awaited fur babies!! 

    They swim EVERY day, I can't let them out to pee without having to pull one out of the pool
