So how about a "Getting to Know You" thread?

How FH proposed: Our 2 year anniversary was approaching. We don't live together and we are a Brady Bunch. I have 2 kids boy and girl, he has the same. I showed up at his home unannounced and his youngest child asked me if I was going to marry his dad and I said someday. He said good because daddy bought you a ring. Well the cat was out of the bag. FH was disappointed, but he still got down on one knee and told me in front of the children. It was comical to say the least.
Wedding vision: making it memorable for our children and family.
Wedding must have: fun, there is nothing worse than a boring wedding.
Wedding "I could do without": the whole thing. I would just rather elope, but he wants this, but mainly for the children can have something to remember.
Color palette: dark turquoise and royal purple. Its peacock without the feathers or green. We are having butterflies to signify new beginnings.
Something you like to do for fun outside of wedding planning: I love to read
Favorite food: there are too many options to just choose one.
One interesting thing about yourself: I can read a 400 page book in a day if interesting and I am full of useless knowledge.

How your FI proposed: He surprised me at sunset, on the beach, outside our NC vacation house, in September. He knelt down in the sand and asked as he handed me a hand carved, wooden ring box he had made. He had secretly worked with a jeweler and his sisters to get a ring that was a combination of a few I had put on Pinterest. I was speechless and teary, but he knew my answer was yes! Afterward, he scooped up sand from where we had been standing as a keepsake. I had known he would ask me one day, but I was not expecting such a romantic moment! The best part was that we had a whole week of vacation left to enjoy each other and to celebrate with family.
Describe your wedding vision: Elegant estate garden or industrial space with a touch of vintage and DIY
Your wedding must-have: A big Italian party
Your wedding "I could do without...": I have to go with drama!

Favorite food: Coming from a family of cooks, that's a tough one. I guess I would say seafood.

How your FI proposed: We were supposed to take the kids to the local football game but our youngest was super sick. We had just gotten home for the evening and the kids were running around and it was the usual chaos of coming home and getting settled. He walked into the living room and asked 'do the kids even WANT us to get married?' I said ' I don't know babe, ask them yourself'. We got a resounding yes. Next thing I know, Im sitting on the couch and he comes in, stands in front of me, and says 'will you be my wife?' Not how he intended but totally us!!!
Describe your wedding vision: We are getting married in San Diego at Marina Village. The ceremony is on the water with gorgeous views of the bay and the marina.

Reception in the bayview room with authentic carne asada, good music, and lots of catching up and dancing and kids running around. Like a fancy family reunion ♡>
