So glad I was prepared for this and saved my answers! Ha! Too smart for you TK, take that!!
1. First Name & Fiance's First Name Carla & Gideon
2. Your Birthday & Age and Fiance's Birthday and Age Oct. 25 31yo & Mar 29 34yo

8. What is your dream job? Art Gallery Owner
9. How did you and your fiance meet? At a pool hall, I was playing with my friends and he was at the next table watching me, he finally came over to talk after we exchanged a few smiles back and forth. Yup, you can meet your husband in a bar. LOL!
10. When did you get engaged and how did he do it?? Took me to Straits restaurant for my B-day with my BFF and her husband, he proposed outside under the canopy.

13. What are your wedding colors? Green, ivory, and gold
14. Where are you honeymooning? Costa Rica - all inclusive one week. Can't Wait
15. Favorite wedding vendor so far? The 9 person band we hired to perform at the reception. We love live music and we also have a DJ to play the international music.
16. Biggest wedding splurge? The guest list, I never dreamed of having 250 people at my wedding but in my FI's culture this is considered a small wedding.
17. What is something you wish you could have at the wedding but don't? My parents. I left their religion a long time ago (Jehovah Witnesses) and they are true fundamentalist. We don't speak anymore and I've tried and prayed that their hearts change but all I can do is respect their wishes and let go let God.
18. Another knottie wedding you'd like to attend? All knotties having destination weddings. I love to travel and if I can travel and see a wedding then I'm in heaven!
19. Favorite book? The Way of the Superior Man (A must read)
20. Favorite movie? Dangerous Beauty
21. Favorite tv show? Cosby Show
22. Favorite wedding dress designer? Allure
23. Any advice you can give? Similar to what other knotties have said before but I wanted to repeat that nothing else matters on your day except you and FI. If the guests, vendors, weather, food, music all go down hill; as long as you have your FI by your side and that officiant says "I now pronounce you husband and wife" your day is a SUCCESS!
24. Anything you wish you could change about your wedding? I wouldn't change anything about my wedding because it is truly my dream wedding, but I would change asking one of my BM. She has flaked out on almost everything so far. The BM dresses are being custom made so I will see if she shows up for the final fitting this week.
25. Share something about yourself! I'm a bit of a pool shark. If you couldn't tell by my story of how FI and I met at the pool hall. LOL! I started playing in college and some how feel in love with the game. I've played in a few tournaments and charity events.
