Lincoln Wedding

Hello!

We are looking to get married next year in Lincoln NE. We are planning to move there in May this year and figured to make it easier on us, we should move the wedding there. The only thing is that all this time, I've been looking at places in Omaha, so I have no clue where to start....

We're hoping for a outdoor ceremony, and a decently priced place for the reception.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I need ideas! DH is soooo hard to shop for!!

So far I've gotten him a watch

on our second anniversay which was May 2,2010 Derek took me to Hermann Hill Inn and Vineyard in Hermann Missouri and he took me up to the proposial spot and got down on one knee and asked me to marry him and i said yes and then he uncovered champane and two glasses and then someone walked down to take our photos. he also said that we have reservations for a night at hermann hill and also stone hill resturant. i was crying. he is so romantic

I've been seeing some new faces around, so I thought it would be fun to introduce ourselves....

we want to buy a new car and want to pay for it full in cash because we don't want to get financing bc the rates are higher than what the bank is paying us in interest. so its cheaper for us to pay in cash if that makes sense. but i read somewhere that having a car payment is actually good for getting a loan for a home? dh's credit score is over 800, does it really matter to have a car payment or not really bc of his great credit?

Hello!  I could use a dress for the following wedding:

Friday, 9/23, 3pm, outdoors; reception indoors at 6:30.

Must be $50 or less.

Must go with silver shoes.  Purple accents a plus.

Must be from a brick-and-mortar store so I can try it on in person.  

Any ideas of where to look?  I tried Fox's, TJ Maxx, Lohmann's, Dress Barn, and a few other places I can't remember.

Thanks!

We took our engagement pics on a brisk fall morning(8 am to be exact) with Laura from Exclamation Imagery. She was referred to me by my friend whose wedding she shot a few months ago. I had told Laura that we may have some issues with Dino. He is an auditor and the serious type; i didn't think he could loosen up for the pics.

Laura to the rescue. She showed up with a bottle of champagne and orange juice. In 15 minutes, we were both feeling good and ready to take our pics. Here are a few. 

If you are in the DMV area and need a great photographer, contact Exclamation Imagery.

Just got engaged the first weekend in October 2008. My boyfriend suprised me by unexpectedly showing up during my trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee. He had pre-arranged it with my friends who live in Chattanooga, and came to a resturaunt that we were all eating at, and proposed in front of everyone. He worked every detail out down to booking the same return flights back to Lincoln, Nebraska where we currently live. So exciting! Now for the planning... I am from Indianapolis so the wedding will be there. Long distance wedding planning, here I come!

I started working at Wells Fargo Bank when I was still in school at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln in June of 2006.  I was only a teller and had been working there a couple of months when we had a new banker join our staff.  One of my friends that I worked with actually had a crush on this new banker and (secretly) I did too!  We started hanging out and on August 12th of 2006 it finally became official! We moved to Omaha in August of 2007 so he could pursue his dream job working with investments and becoming a financial consultant! We love Omaha but I hope to move somewhere warm someday!
