Come in! Introductions!

Original post by marymoon

CONGRATS EVERYONE!!!

We FINALLY have our own board!

Hey, many of you know me, I've bene here forever!

I'm Jenn, student, theatre major
Doug writes programs that support the traders at a major FI (can you tell I have no clue?).

Got engaged almost a year ago on 1/10/04. He proposed just after the spectromagic parade and just before the fireworks in front of Cinderella's castle at our favorite place in the whole world (aside from each other's arms), Walt Disney World. We're happy to have photographic evidence of the proposal (see profile pic).

We've been together for 5.5 years. So far we've booked our hall, North Ritz Club, next steps are to work on the ceremony and officiants (interfaith), photographer and to slim down enough to try on some gowns!!!

Good Luck and happy planning!

ETA: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! I had the first '06 brides post (not counting Ron and Liz) SO excited to have our own board!!!!

wow! simone! what a great story! that is SOOO romantic and original.

being a disney person I have to ask....which resort?




We stayed at the Wyndam Resort and Hotel outside of Disney World on that strip with all the hotels. We were about 3 miles from disney. I swear it was the best night of my life. After that we went to Bob Marley's club at MGM Studios and danced and drank the night away. Wow it was great.

Hi everyone!
This is my first post, I can't wait to start getting to know all of you.
My name is Lauren, my FH name is Travis. We met online in Sept. 2003, and had our first date on Nov. 16 2003 at the museum of Natural History.
We got engaged on Dec. 10 2004, it was perfect. We haven't known each other for as long as a lot of you, but we knew when we met we were meant to be together.
I am a teacher, Travis is an audio engineer. We are in the search of finding a hall, will hopefully be decided this weekend, we have a few more places to check out, and then we will be able to have a definite date, I am very excited about that!!

Re: Come in! Introductions!

I am so excited woohooo! It's getting closer!

I'm Jackie, FH is Pete. We have been together 6 years this past october. Got engaged in 2001, on my birthday at Northport Harbor while we were watching the sunset. FH is going into the police academy and I am a F/T student w/ a communication sciences and disorders major, I also work for a bank in collections.

So far I have my hall and gown (just in time too...just got discontinued). Nothing else for now. This summer we may start looking at photographers.

Funny thing was that I was just telling FH today 'wow, we are getting married next year'...it seems so far away, but the real planning starts in just a few more months, wow! He responded 'finally I have you all to myself!'

Hi, so glad we have our own board.

I'm Amy a full time college student (accounting major), and part time JP Morgan employee. I live in Queens, and FI is Chris, he is a submarine navigator for the US Navy. He is originally from Queens, currently stationed in Connecticut. He is away at sea right now for a couple of weeks and will be leaving on a 6-8 month deployment the end of February, so we will spend most of 2005 without seeing each other.

His not being around for most of 2005 is one of the major reasons that all of our vendors are booked already.

Good luck ladies with all of your planning.

Hi!

My name is Lisa and FI is Frank.

We got engaged almost two months ago.

All I have done is book the beautiful Floral Terrace for my wedding and my home parish for the church.

Things we know for sure are that we are going to have a slight theme of the 40's and Broadway.

For the church, since FI is a volunteer firefighter in his hometown of NJ, my dad (who is a volunteer FF in my town) is HOPEFULLY going to arrange for the firetrucks to come on by wailing their sirens....

That's it!

YAY

i think i'm the only one who didn't get the down on one knee proposal.



I got the 'Do I have to get down on a knee?' - - but we were in the middle of the street at the time! Sometimes I think I should have said 'Yes - get on that knee!'.

Hi everyone! I'm Kathleen and my FH is Nick. I work for my family business doing accounting, marketing and sales for the aluminum industry. Nick is an accountant at PWC. We got engaged 9/3/04 and are getting married 9/3/06. It's my grandparent's 56th anniversary (right down to the actual day of the week), so I thought it would be a blessing to share it with them! We met in college and have been dating for almost 5 yr. We've been living together almost a year and a half.

He proposed to me in our apartment and it was a surprise. I got a three stone ring, so he had 3 HUGE balloons taking up the entire hallway so I couldn't see him and our dog (my baby tyson) on the other end. Each balloon had a card with 'past, present, future' on it with a little message about each time period in our lives and pictures of us on the balloons. It was very sweet :)

Congrats to all and I look forward to helping and getting help from you all!

Re: Come in! Introductions!

Can I post here if I am only planning on being a bride in 06?

Within a matter of a few weeks I got engaged, signed a contract for a house and started school!! I decided I needed to concentrate on house first then wedding. That being said we are planning to get married summer of 06.

FH and I met in 7th grade and have been together on and off ever since !! We got engaged on 10-31-04 at Cedar Point amusement park on a skyride and I didn't get the down on one knee proposal either!! What is funny though is when I called to tell my parents (obviously they already knew) but, I asked my dad if FH had asked his permission to marry me and he kind of just laughed and said the FH TOLD him he was going to ask me not so much ASKED him!! I guess bc he has known my family for so long just felt right!!
