My FI and I live in beautiful Sonoma County of Northern California. I'm an Interior Designer and FI is an "Account Exec" for a medical supply company. We are recently engaged so we're just at the beginning stages of the planning process. Currently, we're experiencing extreme sticker-shock over the outrageous price-tags weddings come with! With that in mind, we've yet to set a date, but we're tentatively thinking of holding off for a couple years to give us some time to save and plan what we want, rather than settling. He's Persian and I'm American. We plan to incorporate traditions of both cultures setting the way of our lives together. As an Interior Designer, I am loving planning the decor and setting for our wedding vision.

*UPDATE*...We've decided on the date. We're scheduling for August 31, 2008 at the Embassy Suites Hotel in San Rafael, CA. Its the Sunday of Labor Day weekend. With that said, I now need to kick the planning into high gear. With it being a holiday weekend, I'm booking vendors asap.
