    Seven Treasures    September 29, 2012   Midwest

    Hi all,

     

    Longtime lurker, first time poster.  I woke up today and realized my wedding is in about 8 months and I feel like I'm falling behind schedule on planning and executing.  My wedding is hugely DIY and everything takes longer than it should.  ;-)

    Anyway, I love so many of the clever DIY ideas I've seen here that I figured I should register if only to express my thanks.  

     

    Cheers,

    Seven

    My name is Frank I run an online electronics business.  My girlfriend told me when I first started dating her that we would never get married.  It's been two years and  I still love her. Life is good. [self promotion removed]

    I have been lurking the site for a couple weeks now and finally decided to register and try posting! My name is Shasta, I am 24 years old, and I currently live in Washington state. I got engaged on October 26, 2011 to my best friend and the love of my life, but our wedding isn't for a few years due to college and other important things. Most of my wedding planning is simply for fun and to cheer me up a little during times when I'm down. Until now I have never cared one bit about a wedding, so I'm rather surprised at how into it I am getting. The good thing is that my fiance is thrilled over my choice of a beach wedding, and I'm hoping he'll like the rest I'm planning! I've really enjoyed reading a lot of posts on here and most everyone here seems so nice and helpful. I'm really looking forward to getting to know everyone! <3

    Hi all! My name is Jolene and I have found this site invaluable in terms of advice and inspiration.So I thought it was time to join! I got engaged August 2010 so we've had quite a long engagement. Wedding is in 3 months! I'm freaking myself out because there suddenly seems like a million things I haven't done or thought of! I have a tendancy to get super obsessed, and I also procrastinate a lot because I seem to love everything and can't make a decision! 

    Anyways, can't wait to share the rest of my wedding journey (and beyond) with you all! Smile

    Hi! first time poster here although I've been looking through this very useful site for a few months looking for advice and inspiration when I get confused by the wedding. I'm marrying my 'college sweetheart', we've been together for nearly 9 years and time is rushing along quite fast towards it now. I'm a bit mental about preparations though so everything is well in hand (I hope!)

    Been stalking for the past month, but I now need people to share my wedding ideas and goodness with!  My fiance and I met about a year ago, when his mom taught at one school I attended in the mornings, and he attended (and now works) at the other school where I take courses in the afternoon.  His mom had been telling me to meet him for a while, and I eventually saw him in the commons area and introduced myself with a "Hi, your mom told me to meet you".  We started dating in May, and on January 2nd of this year he popped the question!

    However, we are two very broke college students, so planning this wedding is going to be a challenge and a project (which I absolutely love!).  My current estimated budget is roughly $1,500 and my guest list has already topped 125 people!  However, my family is the master of doing big things on a tiny bankroll, so I am ready to start!  I have just under 6 months to plan, coordinate, and execute the wedding of my dreams to the love of my life!

    Hi everyone, I'm new also. My name is Lyndsey and my fianceé and I are getting married this summer. We've got a lot done for the wedding but still some things to go. Since I'm using David's Bridal Guava, some things are hard to find. That's how I found this board.

    Hey everyone...technically I'm a newbee however, I have been on this site a lot since I got engaged January 4, 2011 but I never had anything to post. My wedding is March 11, 2012 so I'm a little late to the game. I am working out details at this point so I'm hoping to get a lot of ideas and input in the next month.

    Hello all! I've been lurking on these forums since I first discovered a post from deathbydesign about moissanite gems and jewelry. I've had a lot of fun reading everyone's proposal stories and it's honestly a great way to pass the time. I'm still in college studying for my undergraduate degree and I'm neither married nor engaged. I've been dating my boyfriend for nearly five years now and although marriage has come up a lot recently, a big part of me doesn't really believe it will happen. o.o;

    Hi everyone, I discovered this site by Pinterest posts, and I really haven't had a chance to look much. I got engaged on October 7, 2011 to the most amazing man I have ever met. We finally decided on a date last night, actually - September 14, 2013.  We want to do an outdoor wedding in Pittsburgh, and hopefully find a venue that we can do the ceremony/reception together. I'm excited to start browsing and getting some good DIY ideas since we will definitely have a budget.  :)

    Hi All!! My name is Charla, I'm 24, and I'm from Wisconsin. 2012 is definitely the year of Weddings!

    I would count myself as a newbie, too... though, I've done random google searches for wedding related items and for some reason, I'm always directed here, to Wedding Bee! SO - I finally signed up and am so grateful for it!

    My FI and I dated for over 6.5 years before he popped the question. 6.5 years sounds long - however, we are High School Sweethearts - began dating when we were 16! So - by the time we tie the knot, we would be together for 8 years... and I fall in love every single day!

    I'm planning for a fall wedding this year - and the journey so far has been a rollercoaster, but it'd be weird if wedding planning went smooth, right?! But, thanks to this site (SERIOUSLY) things have been going much more smooth!

    I look forward to posting, replying, and just getting to know some of you!

    Nervous Bride-to-be    November 10, 2012   Wisconsin

    Hi!

    I'm a newbee!

    I've been engaged for almost a year now, but am just now getting to start planning our wedding. Life, in the form of a job loss for me the week after getting back home from the proposal vacation, a move in with his parents, a very sick mother (recovered, thank goodness) and now a job loss for him, has kinda gotten in the way of our wedding. But we have a date and are putting the deposit down on a venue tomorrow.

    I met my honey online, and he proposed on the two-year anniversary of our first date. It was a very sweet proposal, and I can't wait to be married to him.

    I'll be 39 in a few days and he turned 36 last year. This is a first marriage for both of us, so it feels a little like we're late bloomers.

    I guess that's enough of an introduction....

     

    Thanks!

    Celtic_Bride    August 23, 2012   Belfast, N. Ireland (from Toronto Canada)

    Hi there....

    I'm a newbee to the site, we got engaged in May 2011. After dating him for a over a year, but I couldn't be happier. And well it wasn't even a planned proposal, he just decided one night to ask me to marry him it was amazing... sitting in a wee Pub while my sister was singing (she sings in pubs around Belfast) and he just asked me to mary him with no ring or anything.

    Well the next day was damage control (sorta) having to go over to his dad and tell him we were getting married and then go to my mum and ask her... lovely. Then my mum offered him her ring, the last ring my dad bought my mum and I was so overjoyed as it is sentimental too...

    We are both in our mid 30's and this will be a first marriage for both of us too. I thought I would never meet a man like him, but I love him to bits! Kiss

    Now it is just getting it all sorted. The hardest part lately has been who to invite!! It wasn't hard when we first did the list a couple of months ago, but now it is getting difficult and the number increasing. You are always going to have someone complain if they are not included.... but se-la-vie.... as long as everything goes to planned and I get married I'm happy Smile

    Good Luck to all the Brides-to-be... and don't get stressed after all it's your day (oh & his)

    @bakerella:  Hello everyone.  My name is Bridgitte'. I have three wonderful children (ages 22, 17, and 4).  I'm new to WeddingBee.  My fiance proposed to me in November 2011 in front of the Visitors Center at the Baltimore Inner Harbor. We initially were planning to wed at Hard Rock Hotel Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. Then the airfare prices came out and we were like Holy Smoke, we don't want to pay $500+ for airfare or ask our friends to pay those prices either. So we are back to square one and looking at different options for our December wedding.

    I look forward to interacting with you all.

    Hi everyone.

    My name is Darlene, I am 46 years old, and live with an amazing man named Mark.

    I am hoping to be engaged soon, we have picked out the ring I'll be getting and my boyfriend is the greatest person on this earth. He is everything I've ever wanted. I only had to wait 40 years + for him to show up...lol

    I live in Massachusetts, I have a daughter who is 26, who is also soon to be engaged, and I couldn't be happier with her boyfriend. Everyone wants a good man for their daughter, I think she's got one.

    I am hoping Weddingbee helps me w/ the planning of things, gives me ideas for both my daughter and I when the big day arrives and brings me closer to all of you.

    Find me on facebook too if you want to add me as your friend, all you newly proposed to ladies. My name is Darlene Oliveira

    Hugs, D Laughing

    Hi ladies! My name is Stephanie and my fiance proposed to me when he was home on leave in September. :) He is stationed across the country from me while I go to school and hopefully we will be able to be together sooner rather than later! We're planning our wedding for January 5th, 2013 in Wisconsin. I'm so excited to become his Mrs!

    Hello all,

     

    My name is Frank and I have been datting my girlfriend for 2 years now. She said we are never going to get married so I have not talked to her about it since then. I still love her.  My hobbie is bee keeping and I work with computers during the day and it is what pays my bills.  I hate computers and hate my job.  10 yrs ago when working for a forutune 500 electronics company I came home from work and threw my computer out of a two story window and went on vaction.  It rained while I was gone all over the computer and when I came back from my trip I dusted it off and it worked just fine.  Amazing.  Maybe some day I can run my own honey business and take care of my bee's and never look at another computer again!

    I think I might have posted in the Hello getting to know you before, don't know so thats my funny story.
