Bio: Quirky, Jane of All Trades with natural hair and a penchant for dresses and high heeled shoes. I met my baby off of one of those free dating websites in March and we bonded over vegetarianism and our mutual love of Brazil. Flash forward and here we are and I couldn't be happier. Life is short and so am I (she's not but that's okay).

Hello So You’re Engayger’s!

I’m one of the new bloggers and I’m happy that I get to talk about everything surrounding wedding with you all from beginning to end. I’m currently coming to you from the other side of the engayged spectrum; in other words, I’m not quite yet engayged! I know, I know, what exactly am I doing here, did I put the cart way before the horse here, etc., etc.

Okay, well being that I’m honest, that is all true – right now, this second I am not engayged but I’m here to write to you about my experience being that I’m about to propose to my partner and I have to be honest, I am excited but I’m also quite nervous. (more…)

Erica
Wedding Date: 17 April 2010 and 16 October 2010
Bio: My wife Alex is the medic, the Brit, the music & book lover, and the most compassionate woman I've ever known. I'm the writer, the pancake maker, the American living with her in London, and completely smitten with her. With the help of much family and friends, we've already thrown one amazing wedding in Cornwall, England, and now we're gearing up for a 'country kitsch' ceremony & party in Northern California--we can't wait for October!

Hello, again, lovely readers. I am Erica, your faithful blogger, recently bethrothed, and starting the wedding planning all over again.
Just engayged!

On June 16th, 2009, I introduced myself to you for the first time: a new blogger, recently engaged, and brimming with wacky ideas for our (two) weddings. Since then, you may have heard about what happened when our first wedding venue got sold, how we picked our diamond free wedding rings, seen the gorgeousness of Hawes & Curtis button-ups for women, giggled over our REAL UK Civil Partnership withme, and had the chance to meet my wife.

Bundled up for Christmas -- 4 months to the UK wedding!

You’ve been alongside me while we prepared to get married in England on April 17th, 2010, and I’m back again to plan our second wedding on October 16th, 2010–this time in California, USA!

Introduction: Brian

Brian
Bio: Date of Marriage: Civil Ceremony in New Haven, CT on September 7, 2010 and Wedding at Las Caletas in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico on October 17, 2010. About me: I’m a college counselor living in NYC with Tom, my partner of 10 years, and two cats, Toby and Maude. I’m a traveler, an activist, a teacher, a favorite uncle, a knitter, a blogger, and a now - a husband. I’m a lover of all arts and a passionate pursuer of dreams and beer.

Hi there! My name is Brian and I’m engayged!

I was raised in a very small, southern town called Yadkinville, in the tobacco state of North Carolina. Aching to experience a new way of life, I decided to make a big ole’ leap from “The Town of Progress” to “The Big Apple” at eighteen years of age. During college in 2000, I took a job as a waiter at a NYC theme restaurant called Jekyll and Hyde where I met my future husband-to-be. On Cinco De Mayo in 2001, we decided to start going steady. Eight years later in 2009, we became domestic partners in the state of NY on St. Patrick’s Day. To keep with our holiday theme, Tom proposed to me on Pearl Harbor Day that same year. He said, “If you’re gonna bomb, it might as well be on Pearl Harbor Day, right?!” He’s a funny man, my Tom. That’s one of his most charming qualities. Obviously, I said yes.

New blogger introduction: Nicole Marie

Posted on May 28th, 2010 by Nicole. 4 Comments

Nicole
Wedding Date: TBD
Bio: Blogger and bride-to-be. I married my wife, Rose, in an intimate courthouse ceremony shortly after it became legal in DC. Now we are planning a fabulous budget wedding in Baltimore, MD for next Fall to celebrate our love of art, games, wine and of course… each other!

Hello internet world! I am a new blogger and would like to take a moment to introduce myself. You can call me Nicole Marie. I work in the real estate biz where I like to say I run the office without the fancy title (or paycheck). I spend my weekends with my fabulous friends, usually over a glass of wine and some type of board game. I live to throw theme parties… probably because I always want an excuse to get dressed up. Halloween is my favorite holiday and I plan for it for months in advance. I am a firm believer that if you want to wear a tiara on your birthday, you absolutely should. I also love to paint, read, and shop for handbags like it’s my job.
