  Names of the Couple? Daniel and Amanda
  
  Wedding Date? Haven't set one yet, but we're filing the paperwork next week!!! 
  
  How old are you? Your FI? 20 and 23
  
  Occupations and dream occupations of the couple? He has a small online store and I work 2 jobs - traveling with my dad as a photo assistant and counter person at a dry cleaners when I'm in town. He wants to have his own store one day and I want to be a teacher.
  
  How long have you been dating? 5 1/2 years
  
  Where did the you meet? Online in a chat room. We chatted online for about four months and I went away to visit relatives in New Orleans and didn't really have internet access, and that's when we realized we'd developed feelings for each other. We were "cyber dating" for about a year before he came to see me for the first time.
  
  What was your first impression of your FI? My first impression of him online was that he was a very cute and dorky guy that could have very deep and intelligent conversations with me. My first impression of him at the airport was that he was HOTT! : )
  
  Most exciting thing about wedding planning so far? Filing the paperwork, that makes it all so real!
  
  Any wedding-related challenges yet? I would say the biggest challenge at the moment is not being able to set the date. Every time I go online to get a quote on something they require you to put a wedding date, which is so frustrating because I just don't know.
  
  Have you gotten the dress yet? If so, pic please! If not, post some that you like! I put the dress on layaway. The hardest part was not buying it outright! I could have with my last paycheck, but then I wouldn't have any money for anything else!! 
  
  
  
  Any favorite vendors yet? Since I can't set a date I can't book any vendors, so no.
  
  Colors or theme? Blue and Ivory and we're going with a Southern Belle theme. 
  
  What are your top three wedding-related priorities? File the immigration paperwork, Book the venue, get a good caterer
  
  Any children yet or furbabies? I live in a basement apartment at my parents house, so we don't have any furbabies of our own but we love their boxer to death!! No children.
  
  Kids at wedding? Of course. I love kids! Plus, the majority of my family is from New Orleans and we can't tell them to leave their kids behind, nor can we tell my family here that they can't bring their kids if New Orleans kids are coming. 
  Where are you honeymooning? North Georgia mountains. We're going to rent a cabin for a week and do all sorts of fun stuff like white water rafting, hiking, horseback riding, and visiting towns like Helen and dahlonega
  Favorite book? That's a really hard one I love to read! i woiuld have to say the Harry Potter series. I'm such a nerd.
  
  Favorite movie? Disney's Beauty and the Beast lol.
  
  Favorite tv show? Criminal Minds!!! 
  
  Favorite wedding dress designer? I don't really have one, I got my dress at Davids Bridal. It's one in their plus size collection.
  
  What is something you wish you could have at the wedding but don't Probably a photo booth. I looked into it and it seemed out of my price range, even trying to DIY one. (Because you missed your original turn due to computer issues:))

  So glad to FINALLY read about you
  Because I too really wanted a photo booth, I know that you can ask your photog if there is any way that they can set something up for you. It's atleast worth looking into.
  And I am soooo jealous that you get to be a photo assistant! I would love to do that.

  
  I wonder if Prince William and Kate are registered at Target?

  Take a look at this site for a DIY photobooth:  http://offbeatbride.com/2010/08/diy-photo-booth
  
  It seems fairly easy and shouldn't cost more than about $100 (for software and the paper) if you already have a laptop, printer and webcam.
  
  I'm going to try it out at my wedding next spring -- TOTALLY excited about it!
