JerseyKittens Planning Thread - long and lot's of pics!

[jk1101]

There have been so many times throughout this process when I never thought I’d make it this far.

First, I have to say, I Love BDW.

I don’t know what I’d do without this site, the ladies on it and the volumes of advice, experiences, and strength that I have gotten from here.

I think I have gone on The Knot 10 times in the year + of planning, but I am on BDW countless times a day. I feel like everyone on here is my friend…especially my girls on the April 2010 Brides thread.

 

 

So, where to start…my FI…we went to high school together and he found me on classmates.com 20 years later. We were inseparable almost immediately and he proposed to me on our 1 month anniversary.

Here is our story:

My ring

 

 

 

We chose our wedding date while sitting at a gas station waiting for FI’s oil to be changed.

 

This is me after we picked our date!

 

 

 

Picking a resort was the most difficult thing for me to do. After narrowing down an island (Jamaica) it was a BDW Bride’s pictures that made me choose mine – I think her name was Caroline – Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton in Lucea.

I don’t have pictures of my reception décor – it will be white candles with pink and orange mats under them.

 

 

My friends and family are coming the 8th, the wedding is the 10th and they are leaving the 12th. FI and I will stay through the 17th as our honeymoon.

 

I hope the next few days fly by - and then our trip goes by very slowly!!!!
