- Wedding: June 2008 - A garden wedding followed by a tented reception on Mr. Hummingbird's father's property.
Hey ladies!
Saw this post on the board and thought I’d jump in.
1. Name and age: Jill, 25
2. Location: Toronto
3. Fiance’s name: Ben
4. How did you meet? We chatted online and then our first date was at a coffee shop.
5. When did you get engaged?: May 4, 2007. He’s a cartoonist so he proposed to me in a comic strip!
6. Wedding Date: June 28, 2008, the four year anniversary of our first date (I saw going through the boards I have a couple of date-twins. Go June ’08 brides!)
7. Wedding theme/colors: Still working it out but right now I would say blue, green and chocolate brown.
8. Location of Wedding: We’re having garden ceremony and the reception in a tent on his father’s beautiful country property.
9. Whats been the best part of planning? Talking to new people and sharing ideas. It’s cool to learn about everyone’s plans and to be inspired by other crafty brides. 🙂
10. The worst? Worrying about how we’re going to pay for everything ourselves. We live in an expensive city so finding extra money for everything is tough.
A pic from our engagement party back in July:
