Subject: Living together before marriage...

"Old thread but im posting anyways...FH and I do live together with our kids. It started out weird! I am a very old fashioned person where the woman cleans takes care of kids and makes sure hubby is happy i mean im completely old fashioned!!!. I was very young when I had my first child (16) so I had to face reality that 'nowadays' it is much harder to live like that for financial reasons. So I started going to career classes and taking every skills test you could think of and it still said maid & chef were the top ones LOL I was getting used to the idea of having to work, then I met chris..."

Subject: Our Cuban Wedding

"Hi All, I am just getting to the wedding story now, we decided to do a destination wedding in Cuba. When we were first talking about it we were humming and hahing about the pros and cons and then we just bit the bullet and said this is what we always wanted to do even before we got engaged we talked about having the sand between our toes on our wedding day. So it all started on May 5th we organized a limo bus to come pick us and our guests before heading to the airport, there were a couple of people that didn't come..."

"Well, this coming Sunday (18th) will be our 1st Anniversary!!!!
I can't believe it, a whole year has gone by and we hardly even noticed it! It definitely doesn't seem like it was a whole year ago that I was finalizing all the finishing touches and sooo excited..."

Subject: Article in the local newspaper

"Ok, So I am a little disturbed by the fact that they had mentioned A united states website, verses a canadian website in an article about brides on the web. First of all I am just biased against the other website, because I tried to order fans, from their wedding shop, but I had to have an american credit card and they only delivered to the states. So I guess if you are having a destination wedding... and have an american credit card, then it would be helpful... but... there was no mention of a great canadian local website..."

Subject: The Proposal

"so, I've been engaged since march, but just wrote my proposal down in my keepsake book and decided to post it on here. It was our 3 year anniversary and I had been staying at my parents house dog sitting for them. Chris has planned to come over in the afternoon and then we were going to go out for dinner as planned. Just before Chris arrived I received a gerbera daisy arrangement. In the afternoon Chris and I decided to go to the mall to kill some time before dinner. I didn't know where we were going for dinner, as he had planned it. I asked him when I needed to be ready for, so I knew when I had to start getting ready. At 6:00 we went outside to leave for dinner. At the end of the driveway was a stretched limo. I didn't think this was for us!! He said Happy Anniversary and told me he wanted to do something special for it, so decided to rent..."
