    I'm already engaged but filling this out anyway for the fun of it!!!

    What's your name? I'm Goldsgirl

    How long have you dated your beau: 2 Yrs as of December 14, 2009

    Do you have a wedding date already: Yup, May 15, 2010

    Do you have a ring picked out: My ring was close to what I picked out but not exactly what I wanted. He got creative. For my wedding band there is NO changing it around. Its an eternity band, prong set round stones, all the way around and 2 carats total

    What are you most excited to plan/diy after you're engaged: I think the most fun part is the fact that our marriage is a kind of a secret. We are planning a party and no ones we are getting married at the party. They think we are totally against any kind of wedding or any formal ceremony. Its our joke on everyone and we LOVE it!

    Do you have a blog?! nope :(

    bananagirl    October 10, 2010  

    What's your name? Bananagirl

    How long have you dated your beau: will be 1 year and 9 months as of january 9th

    Do you have a wedding date already: We had one that wasn't 100% official.  But his work required it to be pushed back, and then for our whole timeline to be pushed back.  I don't know when we will finally pick a date, and I worry that even then his work might cause a reschedule. 

    Do you have a ring picked out: We narrowed it down to 2...I think. 

    What are you most excited to plan/diy after you're engaged: I'd love to be able to officially ask people to be in the wedding.  After that, I think trying to get some basics decided on (location, church ceremony yes or no, type of reception, colors, etc.) so I can start looking at specifics. 

    Do you have a blog?! Yes but I can't remember the last time I updated it so I won't even list it.

    @crebre: I plan to get them some fun necklaces on etsy but other than that I haven't really looked too specifically yet. Probably some bags of some sort and I might try to make them some stuff if I find something awesome enough. Those wine glasses are so cute (I may have just found them so I'd know what you were talking about), but unfortunately all the bridesmaids I plan on having will actually be 18 or younger (kinda weird I know, but they're all family and I love them too much to not pick them).

    How long have you dated your beau: 6 and a half years (I KNOW, RIGHT?!) ;)

    Do you have a wedding date already: Not yet- I don't want to before we're officially engaged, plus I fear I might "jinx" it LOL - no, really, I want us both to figure out a timetable after it's official.

    Do you have a ring picked out: No! He knows the styles I love but we haven't gone ring shopping. I think he wants to do it by himself, which I think is so sweet :)

    What are you most excited to plan/diy after you're engaged: Definitely, dress shopping and venue searching! Also, flowers and the menu, since we're both foodies!

    Do you have a blog?! Actually I do, but it's NWR and I haven't updated it for a long time :S

    I might as well use this as my official introduction to Weddingbee! I've been a bit nervous to officially enter the waiting board but here goes!

    What's your name? MrsT2b

    How long have you dated your beau: 2 years 2 months

    Do you have a wedding date already: Only an ideal one in my head 12.5.12... But I'm from the UK so for you guys it's 5.12.12 - 12th of may 2012! I still have 1 and a half more years of uni and then I want a year to plan and save money after I graduate So 2012 is perfect. I'm a little obssesed over the symmetry of the date and it needs to be May because I want it not to rain on the day or be too cold so it's needs to a spring/summer wedding but I also want to go to the Maldives for our honeymoon and May is the end of the Maldives seaon... june or july would be monsoon season.

    Do you have a ring picked out: oh yes... blue nile three stone round diamond, 1ct tw, set in yellow gold. He's seen it and knows its the one.

    What are you most excited to plan/diy after you're engaged: I can't wait to design my invites cos I want to make them myself... I have a gocco and a million ideas. I also worked as a florist for 4 years so I can't wait to plan those.

    Do you have a blog?! nope

    Well, I post here sometimes. It's about time I introduce myself. In my mind I am afraid of jinxing myself by doing this, I know that makes no sense.

    What's your name? I'm lostinthemission

    How long have you dated your beau: 3 years (as of Christmas Eve)

    Do you have a wedding date already: We were thinking August of 2010 or 2011. It just has to be during the summer, or early fall. We want an outdoor wedding, but live in Ohio. The weather around here can be very weird.

    Do you have a ring picked out: I love 3 stone princess cut rings. I'm not picky though. The ring has been "bought", he got it on a layaway type program. It's almost paid off. For all I know he could have already paid it off. I am so impatient.

    What are you most excited to plan/diy after you're engaged: Honestly, I can't wait to be a family. I work at a high end event center, as landscaper, so I can get tons of ideas for free. I want to be an event florist, and am doing my own flowers. Occasionally I work in our floral department when they need me. I think that will be so much fun to plan, and then do my own. 

    Do you have a blog? I do but it's nwr, here it is

    Ms Sassy    January 4, 2012   Outside of Boston, MA

    What's your name: Ms.Sassy

    How long have you dated your beau: Going on 6 years this Feb

    Do you have a wedding date already: Yes..2 actually depending on which island we stop at (I want to do a cruise)

    Do you have a ring picked out: no rings for me thank you

    What are you most excited to plan/diy after you're engaged: I'm just excited to get married :)  Since I will (hopefully) be on a cruise, I am pretty much going to leave it up to a wedding planner to make the decisions for me.  I'm a pretty low-key girl and as long as we can get officially married and our families are there, I don't really care what else happens.  Although I say that now but will probably change my mind when its "official" right LOL. Seriously...its Hawaii, how can anything go wrong in Hawaii? I don't even care if I have to do it in the rare chance of rain.

    Do you have a blog: no-i'm way to boring LOL

    Ms. Snuggie    December 31, 2011   Northern California

    What's your name? Ms. Snuggie

    How long have you dated your beau: It feels like forever, but almost a year

    Do you have a wedding date already: New Year's Eve (2011)

    Do you have a ring picked out: I think he has the ring, but I've changed my mind after seeing the many many designs on WB.  Whatever he picks, I'll be happy with though.  I think?! 

    What are you most excited to plan/diy after you're engaged: My theme.  I am so excited to put on paper all the ideas in my brain. 

    Do you have a blog?! Nope, but I do write for Blackweddings.com and Examiner.com.  However, once I am officially engaged, I will be starting a personal wedding blog for my family and friends to follow.  And of course you all too.  :-)
