Feeling ballsy, coming out of lurkdom.
Hi ladies, I'm sitting here doing laundry and watching the USA game with a glass of wine and have decided to come out of lurking. I'm active on other boards but never posted here. FI is USCG, I'm a science geek. We're getting married in September and I can't wait!! That's all I've got.

Welcome again!!
Congrats on your wedding! It's coming up soon!
[QUOTE]Hi! I'm more of a lurker than a poster on here too. My FI is in the Marine Corps, and I'm in med school. <strong>What kind of science geek are you?</strong> Congrats on your wedding! It's coming up soon!

I do DNA research for the National Cancer Institute. <div>

Do you find your work interesting? Personally I find DNA fascinating but I understand lab work can be a downer.
FTL, you're stuck with me!!
And TK had a weird glitch and told me this thread had 59 posts, so I got nervous... I read it earlier and just didn't respond yet, but it seemed normal so I was wondering what happened to make it 59 posts! Glad to see it wasn't that catastrophic at all!
[QUOTE]Calindi, just Irish heritage, but I'm ridiculously proud of it. :) My parent's have dual citizenship and I've been a bunch. I have to tell you, since I've lurked so much--you're getting married at Branford House right? {stalker much?} I went to UConn and took a summer course there, and my dad got remarried there last year--such a gorgeous space!! We're getting married in Hartford; my dad and stepmother split time between Hartford and Groton.

Yes, I am!!! I'm so excited about it - my FI still hasn't seen the venue, though we're going while we're up visiting my family the first weekend in August. I actually didn't see it until about two months after I booked it, but I just knew it was the right place for us. I certainly talked to plenty of brides who had been married there, my parents went and visited and asked about 400 questions that I sent them with (probably not even exaggerating - the list was 4 pages long of questions!), and saw dozens of photo albums of weddings there. So it wasn't like I booked it blind!
Are you on the CT board? I feel like I haven't seen you there... but then again, I usually only go when I have a question to ask. I'm not very helpful to the others as I don't know very much, but they've all been outrageously helpful for me! Are you having DJ Melee? I never would have heard of him if it wasn't for that board, and I'm so darned excited to have him for our music vendor! He's sooo cheap, too!

I only pop in if I have a question, and most of them are answered without me posting, so I'm not super active over there. I'm using a DJ that a friend recommended, we got an awesome referral discount! It's my biggest concern right now though, I want an awesome rocking party all night, and the DJ drives that!!
