woohoo we've got a fairly active board now!!!!  Octobersky and I were talking before the holidays and she told me that the August board would pick up after Jan and she was right...  yeah!!! (I'm doing a little victory dance) So let's have another check in :)

When is the big day?

What is your theme?

What is your color scheme?

Who is your guy?

What is one new detail that you're excited about?

Tell us one thing about yourself that you haven't shared with the girls on PW before :)

I'm Miriam....  I'm pretty much here a lot (except the beginning of the week when i'm SWAMPED with homework).

The big day is 08.09.10 yes a monday six hours away from home :)

Our theme is slowly taking shape.  We are having a rustic wedding with touches of vintage.  And I can't forget to mention the keys :)  There are skeleton keys everywhere in the wedding.

Our color scheme is cornflower blue with touches of ivory and brown

My guy is Craig.  he is the love of my life...  he owns his own business doing performance suspensions and motors for dirt bikes and motorcyles

The latest and greatest idea is that I'm going to sing to my fi at our ceremony as his gift.  I've decided to sing Feels like home by chantel kravuiazk (just slaughtered the spelling of her last name... oops)

one detail... hmmmmmmm  I took 14 years of piano lessons

who's next???

Miriam, I love your colors!!

My name is Jackie and I'm getting married to my guy, John, on August 7, 2010.  We have been together for over 7 years and were high school sweethearts.  We have lived together for 3 years and in some ways, we feel married already!

We aren't necessarily having a theme (unless you count casual elegance in it), as much as being a wedding with tons of flowers.  It's probably a bit rustic too, as we're getting married at my grandparents' farm (like I said before, not the yeehaw, hay bale kind of farm) and our reception and dance is in their gorgeous barn.  Our colors are dark purple and bright green

I'm really excited about getting my dress in May!  I have all of my jewelry, my shoes, and my veil, now I'm just waiting for my dress to come in!  I'm also really excited about my flowers, as all of that was taken care of this past week and they look gorgeous.

As far as something new... I guess I don't think I've shared that I'm currently in my 3rd year of college and I'm going for a bachelor's degree in secondary English education. 

Hello I'm Karima... let's see

I love reading smut....... especially the Fabio lookalike on the cover ones.  My favorite times are me laying in my hammock or heading to the beach to read them.

When is the big day?  August 21, 2010!!

What is your theme?  Simple with a splash of details, romantic (of course!) and fun! 

What is your color scheme?  Blue, Green, Tan, White and Black

Who is your guy?  "My Daniel" (as all the ladies at work make fun of me for saying My Daniel as I introduce him to new people like "he's mine and I'm not letting him go!" is a Health and PE Teacher, among other things. :)  We've been together five years and it has been amazing.  He has an identical twin brother, who is also a teacher.  The two of them are inseparable...they teach together, coach together, play together...it's just a good thing his wife and I get along just fine!! :)

What is one new detail that you're excited about?  My photographer found the perfect park location for our first look (since our ceremony isn't until 7p.m.)  When I e-mailed her in despiration since I'm not from the area (FI is) she came through and then some!!! I'm PUMPED!

Tell us one thing about yourself that you haven't shared with the girls on PW before :)  I cant think of anything off the top of my head tonight.  Maybe the fact that I am absolutely TERRIFIED my psoriasis that has been absent in my life the past two years will come back in full force due to the wedding stress....I will SCREAM. :(

Sara, I hope that doesn't happen for your sake!  All of this wedding planning is really stressful, but try not to think about it and try not to stress yourself out over little things that you don't need to!  On another note, it's really cool that your photographer came through for you!!  That's awesome and gives you something to look forward to!

October, your color scheme is awesome... and I like reading smut too sometimes.  Haha.
