Weddingbee boards
I totally forgot to post this until now. If you're new to the boards or haven't seen this post before, I like to get everyone to post 10 non-wedding related things about ourselves, so that we can remember that we're not just brides; we're people.

7. Despite being a really picky eater, I thought it would be a good idea once to eat a fried grasshopper in Mexico.

@ejs4y8 - No worries - I wouldn't flame you for that because I'm the same way!
1. if its not obvious by my username, i have an obsession with college football. like, diehard. i can probably name you the top 5 (or 10..) teams every week of the season.
2.i hate raw tomatos. like, HATE them. i don't even want to cut or touch them. it's something about the texture. i love pizza sauce though.
3. i'm deathly allergic to tree nuts. i was hospitalized overnight once because i accidentally ate a walnut cookie. i carry an epipen, and on our 7th date, i showed my fiance how to use it (i find it romantic that he would jab me in the leg with the pen to save my life).
4. i have natural blonde hair, but people like to argue with me and tell me i dye it.
5. i have two guinea pigs and refer to them as 'my kids'
6. i hoard bottles of wine because i'm afraid i'm going to run out. there are currently 18 bottles in our apartment, unopened.

4- I am INLOVE with the little bins inside my fridge door that I HAD to get but never use.
5- When I was a kid my mom always told “you’ll get kid napped” about everything so I HATE going anywhere alone because I might get kid napped even sometimes when im alone in the house.

8- I have never had a steak, hot dog, or hamburger. ( anything put chicken really)

1. I am a homebody. I would rather have dinner parties at the house than go to someone else's house.
2. I am a perfectionist. I love my house clean and in tip top shape. I usually make a point of cleaning when my daughter is napping.

7. I dye my hair red, but am in the process of going back to my regular color, which is a reddish brown.

I havent seen this before, I like it!
1. Im a picky eater, but I love to cook. I just get rid of the things I dont like (tomatoes, peppers, etc)
2. I love reading but hate buying books because I will usually finish them in 1-2 days. And they arent short stories either :)
3. I watch way too much TV but theres just so many shows I love. My parents dont call me the "walking TV Guide" for nothing :)

5. I play way too far in advance. Just mentioned a big trip next year and Im already researching when we cant even do anything or book anything until next year!

love this! yay! @bakerella, whenever I am off work, I will watch Golden Girls and it comes on 2-3 times (mini marathons) a day and I will watch each time, without hesitation.
These are great! It's actually kind of relieving to see others post things that are quirky and/or not-so-perfect since it makes me feel less guilty about my own flaws...
1. I am a perfectionist and don't like displaying anything less than perfect in public. I'm working on getting over this since it is sometimes almost crippling.
2. I have social anxiety and hope this doesn't get in the way at the wedding!
3. I was an English major and read (and still read) a lot of literary fiction...but I won't pass up a good romance novel :-)
4. I love to quilt, knit, crochet, and cook. Can anyone say "50's housewife"?
5. I have the cutest little bunny! FI and I picked him out together and I almost got a different one. FI made the right choice. He is so smart!
6. I love country & folk music. When FI and I started dating, I only disclosed some of my music preferences...but I've come out of the closet on that, and we both love most of the same music now (I listen to a lot more alternative & ska than I used to, and he loves folk & country!)
7. I'm in grad school, studying to be a librarian, but I'm really not 100% on what I want to do with it!
8. If curling up with a book and a cup of tea were a sport, I would be an Olympian.
9. I love puddle-jumping after a rainstorm.
10. FI and I are both totally, head-over-heels, in love with dogs. Pretty much all of them. We talk about having a farm when we get older, and having 8 dogs of varying sizes, including an Australian Shepherd with whom we can practice agility training. Hey, a girl can dream :-D
1. My favorite dip for French fries is sour cream. A close second is honey mustard. I hate ketchup.
2. I spent hours and hours memorizing and practicing the “Peter Piper” song when I was little, and can still say the whole thing SUPER FAST. At the time I thought this would impress people – then I graduated elementary school!
3. I think sweet pickles are an abomination of both man and nature.
4. My cat is obsessed with my feet and ankles. She sleeps draped across one or both of my ankles every night, and usually puts her arm (paw) around my foot. I can’t imagine it’s comfortable, but it works for her. I can’t sleep well unless I feel her across my ankles.
5. I have a detailed contingency plan in case of a zombie apocalypse, and have bought items specifically for this plan (of course, I said they were for something else!!).
6. I am the worst pronouncer of foreign language words ever. Pronounce something French or Spanish, forgetaboutit. Like, it’s appalling. I don’t know why I suck so much at it! lol
7. My FH’s mom married someone 25 years older than her who had adult children from a previous marriage, and FH is 16 years older than me, so the span of ages between me and my soon to be step-brothers-in-law run from 28 (me) to 65 (eldest brother-in-law).
8. I have really long legs for my height. I’m only 5’3”, but can’t wear petite pants, and have to wear regular length pants several inches below my hips for them not to look like high waters.
9. When I sleep alone, I have to sleep surrounded on both sides by pillows.
10. I want to buy investment property
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad. I look at listings everyday, and have a big ole excel spreadsheet that I update with asking prices of properties I like every month, so next year when we go to buy (hopefully), I can lowball the places that have been for sale for forever.
Alright, here goes nothing:
1) I've been a vegetarian my whole life. My whole immediate family is and I've never eaten meat before. I ate fish for 3 months in college but stopped because it was gross.
2) I am pretty unsentimental person in general, especially in my interpersonal relationships, but let me watch a sappy movie and I cry like a baby.
3) I am a cat person. I don't like dogs - I like them in theory, but in reality they smell and slobber too much.
4) I'm the eldest, I have a brother who's two years younger than me. We are pretty close.
5) I hate mushrooms, mostly because of their taste and texture, but also because it is a fungus.
6) I've been in many operas before, as a super (non-signing role) - because my mom is a professional singer.
7) I am more of a listerner than a talker and an observer than preformer; but am spontaneous to a fault.
8) I hate the water - the pool, the ocean, a hot tub. I do shower on a regular basis however.
9) I am equally comfortable shopping at Nordstrom's as I am at Salvation Army; I frequently will have aspects of my wardrobe from both sorts of stores.
10) I love my alma mater - my dream job would be to work for my univeristy as a recruiter.
1) I've never traveled outside the North American continent, but I've been to both Canada and Mexico.
2) On work days, I can only drink water at my desk. And I have flavor packets to put in it but I only allow myself to add one after I've refilled and drank my water bottle 3 times.
3) I got a rifle from my dad for my 16th birthday.
4) I have 4 brothers but no sisters. I'm second-born.
5) I didn't go to a Big10 (or any other 10) college and don't get the whole sports/rivalry thing. In fact, my college didn't even have sports!
6) I loved to sing when I was in High School but I almost never sing to my daughter. I feel silly and she's only 1.
7) If I HAD to be on a reality show the only one I would do is The Amazing Race. It looks so cool!
8) I love the beach and swimming but I hate salt water!
9) I love to go to micro breweries and try their beers! I collect a pint glass from every one I've been to.
10) Ever since I had my daughter I swear my brain doesn't work half the time! I forget words, what I was looking for, etc. I look like a moron and I'm an engineer!
I'll play :)
1)I'm ALWAYS on time...read: I'm always early
2)I make lists EVERYDAY...a list of things to do, stuff to buy, goals I've set, etc. Sometimes on paper, sometimes on my iPhone, sometimes both
3)I love the food network and recipes...I have a recipe box (from Etsy) that I try to add a few recipes a week to
4)I love to scrapbook but need to get better at *starting* the projects and not waiting as long inbetween pages
5) I'm a control freak. I am not bossing or rude but I will say "No, I'm okay but thanks!!" so that I can just do it MY way (I'm working on being able to ask for help when I need it...which is easier for some things then others. I know it isn't shameful, I'm working on it! ;) )
6) I love to go to resturants and if I could afford to (both moneywise and caloriewise) I would EVERY day...
7) ...but I also LOVE to cook and bake :) But I hate buying all the ingredients!
8) If I eat a mint of any kind I bite it (always) and then sneeze (always)
9) I *BLEED* green. Let's go SPARTANS :) I love Michigan State (!!) and any Big 10 football and basketball.
10) I'm reeeally competitive...and with weird things! I caught myself asking my fiance "How much are you at??!!" the other week while we were returning cans...pointless? yes but I still was doing it ;)
1. I just got back from NYC and I have total New York fever and want to move there like right this second.
2. There is something wrong with my jaw where it hurts to fully close my mouth and when I do, it feels like my teeth don't line up. I need to call the dentist but I'm dreading it.
3. I am dying to do the post-wedding chop. My hair is super long, straight, and boring. I would like a chin length bob with bangs.
4. I can't go into Target without spending at least $40. Today I just needed Tylenol and conditioner, and came home with a straw beach bag, a nail polish, and a cardigan too. Sometimes I go for maybe cat litter or toilet paper, and instead come home with shoes and snacks, and forget what I went there for in the first place.
5. I cannot stop once I open a bag of Sour Patch Kids. Even when my tongue starts getting raw, I still keep eating.
6. I am relieved my wedding is over. I had a blast, but I was so tired of planning and writing checks. My family went crazy about a month and a half prior. I am ready for things to go back to normal.
7. I quit smoking 3 years ago after I realized I had smoked half my life and that was gross. I had a cig on my honeymoon. Whoops. It was fine and it didn't make me want to start again.
8. I am very excited for the next few weeks because I have tickets to see three of my favorite bands. Going to concerts is my very favorite thing in the world.
9. I am proud of how LITTLE I spend on my outfit, rather than how much. For example, today my dress was free, my shoes were $20, and my earrings were $3. The only clothing I can justify spending more than $20 on is a nice bag.
10. All my friends are grad students and are moving at the end of the summer. I'm really sad. I'm losing 6 really good friends and I'm kind of in denial.
Oops, I just realized a couple of those are indirectly wedding-related. Sorry.
@blondeeebuckeye I also have a weird obsession with checking the mail :)
@iceprincess717 How did you stop biting your nails?
@MrsH1010 I also have a crippling fear of spiders
1. I love raw chocolate cookie dough
2. I had four semesters of Spanish and did well, but still can't speak the language
3. I consider coffee to be my life force
4. I love reading bad reviews about places (restaraunts, nail salons, hotels...)
5. I was in the US Navy
6. When I was little I loved playing in the water at the beach, but was freaked out that something might get me at the deep end of the pool.
7. I bring flipflops to shower with when I got to hotels.
8. I like beer better than wine.
9. I pick nail polishes based off of what name they are given. (For a whole month my toes where cajun shrimp:)
10. My BFF and I plan to live out the rest of our lives as the Golden Girls:)
awesome thread! I'll start off with one someone else posted, but do ya better...
1. I wear a size 11 shoe - and it SUCKS!!!! seriously, i'd LOVE to own more shoes, but shoe shopping is practically painful - both emotionally and physically. :(
2. I lived in Chicago for 4 years while going to school at Columbia College Chicago - where I got my Bachelors degree in Television Production.
3. I can't get water in my ears. I've had tubes in/out of my ears since the age of 7 - had surgery on my right ear last year (tympanoplasty to repair the ear drum and mastoidechtomy to remove scar tissue) - and have hearing loss in my left ear and have to wear a hearing aid. I'm 30.
4. I LOVE books on tape - and am especially addicted to Harry Potter. I have all 7 on my ipod and will - every couple of months - listen to them straight through from book one to seven at work.
5. I'm terrified of the dark. Again I'm 30 - and yup - I'm terrified of scary movies (refuse to watch them) and always think there's something going to get me...it's gotten better since living with my hubby (sleeping in the same bed) and having our two dogs in the room with me - they wake me up if there's anything "out there"...
6. I live low-carb/high fat as and truly do LOVE it - i could eat steak every day...but at the same time, I TOTALLY admit that I DO miss junk food - especially french fries and oreos.
7. I LOVE country music - but am like the only person I know who does...
8. I used to play Ultimate Frisbee in College.
9. I'm addicted to my laptop and am on it WAY too much (like no joke - all night, every night).
10. I LOVE roller coasters and can ride them all day long - but HATE any type of "swinging" motion and actually get sick ON the "swings" at amusement parks. The pirate ship - don't even think about it.
1. I won $20 on a Costa Rican game show.
2. I've been skydiving. I actually kinda hated it because my instructor spun us around so hard that I threw up shortly after we hit the ground.
3. Spinny things make me throw up. :) Even spinning in an office chair will turn me green. I love roller coasters though.
4. I have 16 holes pierced in my ears.
5. I am a spelling nazi.
6. My goal is to run a marathon next May.
7. I have a photographic memory, but seemingly never for things I'm actually trying to remember. This is why I buy enough post-its to wallpaper my apartment.
8. Most every article of clothing and pair of shoes I own cost under $20 a piece.
9. I don't like cereal and milk. I'll eat plain cereal out of the box but ever since I was a kid I've thought cereal and milk was gross.
10. I've had around 30 different paying jobs in my life.
These are always fun!
1. I am the pickiest pizza eater in the world. I only like cheese and meat on my pizza. When I was little my parents would never listen to what I wanted and get pizzas with veggies all over them. It made me cry. I love having pizza ordering freedom now!
2. My favorite thing to do in the Summer is lay on the dock and suntan and read a book for hours. I know the sun is our enemy but I just can't resist.
3. I'm addicted to red bull... I know it's gross. The longest I've gone without an energy drink in the past 5ish years is three weeks. Siiiiiick! I need Red Bulls Anonymous.
4. I just had a breast reduction and am fully obsessed with my boobs... TMI I know!! I didn't realize how awesome gravity defying boobs were!!

10. My cat's breath smells like cat food.
1. I put Siracha hot sauce on almost everything...fish, chicken, rice, veggies, chips, sushi, etc.
2. I play BrickBreaker on my Blackberry ALL the time. It's so addicting, and my FI thinks I'm crazy.
3. I love to look at maps! I study them for hours.
4. I keep all kinds of gum (multiple brands and flavors) in my desk at work. I need to chew gum when I get stressed or working on a big project. It helps me think!
5. I have a notorious sweet tooth...my favorite desserts are carrot cake, gelato, or peanut butter cookies.
6. I love to eat snacks for dinner...like pieces of cheese, crackers, and fruit or veggies, chips, and hummus....and it always tastes best with a glass of wine.
7. I love, love, LOVE the beach and could stay there all day long in the summertime (like from 10am until 6pm). I am a professional beach-goer.
8. I am addicted to silly Bravo shows such as RHONYC, RHONJ, Millionaire Matchmaker, etc.
9. My biggest pet peeve is when people share drinks...especially drinks with milk (lattes, milkshakes, smoothies). It totally grosses me out....ugh saliva!
10. I'm a super punctual person and am always early too! I get very annoyed when people are more than 10 minutes late without an explanation.
I loved reading all these so I had to join in the fun!!
1. (sorry brittromance...:( ) I am always always always LATE. Never SUPER late but at LEAST 3-5 minutes late. Always.
2. I cuddle with my dog almost more than my husband.
3. I love french fries and cosmic brownies... mmmm...
4. The most endearing fact about my (new) husband is that he has 100 times the patience that I do... bless him.
5. i think in Facebook status almost all day long. Pathetic. Super pathetic.
6. I eat tostitos and Jalapeno cheese dip every day.
7. I am super passionate about the beach. I lived in HI (see #6) fell in love in the Outer Banks, married there, vacation there twice a year and can't wait for our Caribbean honeymooon. When I say PASSIONATE, I mean, I literally CRY when we leave. ((PS -- BP can SUCK IT for what they are doing to my coastline. Yes, I did cry over that too.)
8. Hate the fact that my mom has facebook. I can't stand it. I wish I could log in under her name and UNFRIEND all of my friends so they don't have to see her ridiculous statuses like : "Can't facebook today! Too much to do!" <-- REALLY? You facebooked to say you can't facebook!
9. I don't know what I would do without my girlfriends. It took me a very long time to figure out the ones I want to keep in my life forever.
10. Coffee <-----mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
1. I live in pajamas when I am at home. Seriously. The second I get in I change into pj`s. They are just way too comfy!
2. I hate butterscotch anything. Always have since I was little. My SO looks at me like o.O? How can you NOT love butterscotch!?!?
3. Touching wet plastic grocery bags makes my skin crawl. Thank gods! for re-usable totes!
4. I like to walk barefoot in the rain & mud. It's the goofy little kid in me that giggles about doing something I '"shouldn't."
5. I do not feel like myself without my specs. Ever since they broke beyond what electrical tape could cure I feel like I have been starring at a stranger every time I look in the mirror.I cannot wait to replace them.
6. I Live for Tea, Toast & Yogurt. If you ask me, it is a perfect breakfast. :)
7. I read waaaay too much. Seriously. I bought old textbooks from the 1970s at a high school fundraiser just because I had not read them yet.
8. I get really excited and even squeal & hop/dance when it comes to anything plant related. Not just flower/wedding related, anything lush & verdant & green makes me happy. Even the weeds.
9. I also get WAY too excited about playing legos with my 4year old. Legos rule, nuff said.
10. I hate flip flops. Can't really say if it's the sound they make when I walk, the annoying thong that digs in between my toes or the fact that they never stay on. I just can't stand them.
@missmouse29 - i hate flip flops too!!! i LOVE sandles - but i can't stand any type of shoe that doesn't have a back / slingback, whatever. i hate the "thongs" of flip flops between my toes and need something to hold em on the back! lol
1. I'm kind of a vegetarian, but I still eat (and love to eat) seafood. Most everything else, I never liked anyway.
2. On a day off, I prefer sitting on the couch watching cheesy DVDs, even if it's nice out.
3. My husband and I never had have that "I must have you right now/undying" love for each other. Our friendship runs very deep, and we're attracted to each other, but passionate is not a word either of us would use to describe our relationship. People think that's weird sometimes, but we're both extremely happy and committed.
4. If ice cream were healthy, I'd have a rockin' body.
5. I live in a city, and crave the country.
6. I could spend the entire day at the beach and still not want to leave.
7. I think online shopping doesn't count as spending money, which gets me into trouble sometimes. I'm better now, though.
8. I want to buy an amazingly large, old house on lots of land, and completely redo the inside.
9. I could care less about sports. Sometimes when I can't sleep, I'll find ESPN, and it puts me to sleep.
10. My husband and I have been living together five years, and I just started to fart in front of him like a month ago.
1) I am vegetarian, I even avoid all dairy and egg (My FI has anaphylaxis towards both as well as Peanuts/Tree Nuts and Horses.) However I don't say I am vegan, because I do not do it for animal rights reasons.
2) I am allergic to turkey and pineapple. The Turkey one is at the point where I have to leave the room if someone is eating it. The doctors can't officially test me for either but I have such bad stomache reactions to both that I am to avoid, avoid, and AVOID!
3) I have lived in three provinces. All of which have been so different and so fantastic in their own ways. I think I am so lucky to be able to live in a country where you can experience so many different cultures and ways of think, even by just traveling a couple of hours away from where you live. I have visited 9 provinces in total and I can't wait to get out to Newfoundland!
4) I am a recovering overeater. I am doing this with the help of my FI as I don't have any groups in my area. It has been an uphill battle but I am starting to gain control of my life again.
5) I am a total music snob. I was raised by musicians and music is one of the most important parts of my life. The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Frank Zappa, Eagles and the Who are some of my top favourite bands/singer-song writers. I am also guilty of correcting people who sing wrong lyrics to songs I know.
6) I don't have a driver's license and I live in a city where I kinda need one. (bad public transit!) Since moving to this city I have become super scared of driving and even to the point where I am a nervous passenger when ANYONE is driving.
7) I've wanted a sphynx cat since I was 4 years old and saw one in a Cat Fancy magazine. Lots of people find them gross but I don't care I know it is going to be the prrrrefect cat for me!
8) I am totally addicted to TLC and the Food Network. So glad we don't have cable here or else I'd never get anything done!
9) I love, love cooking and baking. People often comment on what my FI and I eat as we seem to have limited diets, and I say everything! I love being creative in the kitchen. Very empowering.
10) I collect tea and drink it regularly. I have yet to find a tea I hate.
I wanna play!
1. My puppy only walks on three legs majority of the time.
2. I am training for a full marathon on a strained tendon thanks to (legal) steroids.
3. I performed in the 1996 opening and closing ceremonies for the Olympics.
4. I have a spinal fusion. I can only bend my neck and two vertebrae in my tailbone.
5. I am a rock climber. I prefer to boulder, but with the summer and my strained tendon, I'm climbing routes right now.
6. I love long hair on guys. My SO shaves his head. I think he is super sexy anyways.
7. I fart a lot. Especially around my friends.
8. I'm one of the few people who lives in Atlanta, who was also born in Atlanta.
9. Because of my back surgery, I grew four inches in seven hours. It took six months to get over the vertigo.
10. I got a degree, bought a house, and bought a car before I turned 22.
@Daisylynn, my friend that just got married wore Cajun Shrimp! Apparently it's what a bunch of women in her family wear!
(1) I am a total Jeopardy freak, but even more than that, I am obsessed with Alex Trebek. Sometimes, I tell people he fathered my oldest child.
(2) I have never had a drivers licence, bc I suck at driving and have never been able to pass the parking portion of a driving test. I'm 32 yo and my husband drives my dream car, so it's not for lack of trying, I'm just really bad and really scared of driving.
(3) I am terrified of escalators. My tummy churns whenever I see them.
(4) I love going to really great restaraunts and then re-creating my favorite dishes at home. I have an outstanding palate and I tend to be able to pick out flavors and spices easily. (I secretly wish I were a professional chef, so I could be on Top Chef...does anyone else ever do the challenges at home or am I a nerd?)
(5) I am a classic movie buff. I especially love Natalie Wood, Elizabeth Taylor, Ava Gardner and Marilyn Monroe. I get really pissed when girls say they idolize Marilyn or Audrey Hepburn, but have never even seen any of their films. I will so call people out on this, and try to give them a list of movies to watch. They usually think I'm crazy...
(6) I have a bit of a shopping problem, so my friends are CONSTANTLY asking to borrow things from me (ie shoes, purses, dresses, scarves, etc) and it secretly REALLY pisses me off, but I have a hard time saying no, bc I feel sad for them that they don't get to shop as much as I do.
(7) I was married to my ex husband for twelve years, but we were actually only living together for a little over a year. I just never got around to divorcing him and it didn't seem like a big deal until I stsrted dating my current husband, even though I had kids from two other relationships. It makes me sound like a floozy, but really I'm not.
(8) My favorite TV show ever is Absolutely Fabulous, and I secretly worry that my best friend and I are going to end up like Patsy & Edina.
(9) I hate washing my hair and having my hair washed at the salon. It really bugs me. I also hate getting mani/pedis. I just don't like being touched in general.
(10) I love Jack Daniels Manhattans and Bombay Sapphire Martinis almost as much as I love my kids and I'm super sad that I'm not able to have them now since I have a Baby on Board.
@Miss Starlet, I went to the same elementry school as alex trebex! I do Iron Chef Challenges on my own. Picking an ingredient and timing myself to see if I can cook dinner in an hour, lol!
@Missstarlet- LOVE Absolutely Fabulous. They remind me of my mom and aunt!
(1) I hate wearing shoes because I feel like my toes are constricted.
(2) On a somewhat related note, someone once approached me at a car wash to tell me how much they liked my feet... and then showed me their tatoo of a pair of feet.
(3) Weird things gross me out, like seeds in fruit and anything else that is "embedded."
(4) I grew up near the beach and miss it soooo much!
(5) I hate those black and white pictures on greeting cards of little kids smooching dressed in adult clothing.
(6) I didn't realize it was weird to invite someone over for tea until high school.
(7) I'm an avid reader and love everything from the Twilight series to Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
(8) I'm terrified of bees (to the point I will run off in a mad dash in mid-sentence and embarass myself) but I have never been stung. I did get stung once by a scorpion though.
(9) I love Lord of the Rings!!
(10) I hate watching all team sports... I think I am missing the gene... I just don't get it for some reason and can't get excited.
