Hi everyone! I am a teacher marrying an accountant in 2007 (I know, can we get more exciting??! Ha!)..we did our first search today and were excited to be able to find pros and cons of what we like..I feel like I don't know which direction to go in and what we want, but looking at places helped...just saying hi and feeling behind...eeks!



Don't worry you'll get everything done!

Hi I'm Carolyn, FH is Evan, I work as a member service rep. at a local Credit Union, and Evan works pre-hospital care for Flushing & St. Lukes/Rosevelt Hospitals. (pardon the spelling)
Best experience: getting engaged to my best friend and finding my dress
worst: arguing with my mom and FH over the # in the BP, and finding a DJ.
But it's all good now!

Hi Girls...

My name is Daria and I am a Compensation & Benefit Specialist (Human Resources)

I have to say my best wedding experience so far is getting my dress and booking at North Ritz Club. I love NRC!!

Worst: Trying to figure out the church and rabbi situation. We are getting married in a catholic church and my FH is jewish so I am afraid when it comes closer to the wedding that a problem will come up to say that some traditions can't be done.

Let's pray it doesn't!

Re: Let's do this again for the new brides

hello! i'm bethany! =0)

occupation: during my year off between undergrad and grad school, i'm a teaching assistant at a school for kids with speech/language and learning dissabilities - i LOVE it! i'm going back for my masters in early childhood special education and debating between severe/multiple disabilities or deaf/hard of hearing, we'll see where that goes. in my sparetime i take sign language classes and do art (my undergrad was in sculpture).

best: getting engaged and just being with fh. we've been living together going on 2 years and just moved to austin for the year. we're just enjoying being together. =0)

worst: haven't REALLY started planning yet, but so far it'd be fmil. she's been giving us grief b/c while she's happy we're engaged, she's had bad marriages that left a sour taste in her mouth... =0\
