About Me: I live in a little lakeside town in Ontario with DH and our two lovely kitties. I have a very energetic 5 year old stepson who loves Lego and visits us every other weekend. We're in the process of renovating our house because the first year of marriage isn't stressful enough! I love to hunker down, snuggle and watch a movie with DH and a great homecooked meal. I used to be a spoiled city girl, but I've discovered my inner homemaker and wouldn't change it for the world! And no, I have nothing to do with the Bakerella website, I didn't even know about it when I picked my screen name! Oops!

Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Physician

About Me: I am a NH-grown girly gal who has lived in Boston for 8 of the last 11 years. My fiance and I grew up in the same home town and are two peas in a pod who love golfing, the Red Sox, political humor, skiing, eating, and fishing (and drinking beer) on our bass boat. We work crazy hours but spend as much time as we can with our families and outside in NH. After eight years, I am excited to finally make it official and marry the love of my life! When it comes to planning our "casual chic" fall wedding, I try to make my decisions as cost-effectively and time-efficiently as possible, but can't help becoming obsessed with every detail! Wedding DIY projects and crafting give me anxiety, but I am taking them on anyways.

About Me: After finishing my master's degree, finding a full-time job, moving into a new apartment, and getting married all within six weeks, I am so happy to finally be enjoying life as a newlywed wife! I've started to redirect my wedding energy into decorating our apartment, much to the dismay of my new husband. I'm dying to add a dog to our little family, but until then, I'll just spoil my friends' and family's pups with treats and snuggling.

When I'm not on Weddingbee, you can find me at grabbing coffee with a friend; bargain shopping; running (I'm a novice, but learning); working at my job in marketing; or cuddled on the couch, watching a movie with my husband. It's our favorite way to spend an evening.

About Me: I live by Marilyn Monroe’s words, "I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

About Me: I never wanted to get married until I met my husband. Neither one of us wants to have children. From 2006-2010, I lived in Minneapolis, Western MA, Pittsburgh, Manhattan, and back to Pittsburgh, which is where I hope to stay for a while, especially since my husband and I just bought a new house. Alas, said new house has already taught us that home renovation sucks the life right out of you. I'm fantastic at skiing, but absolutely horrible at stopping. And I hate cooking dinner, but I'm mind-bogglingly awesome at baking.

My home is filled with fun and love and 3 dogs. Away from work you might catch me at the gym taking a Latin dance class, at a sushi bar, walking at the greenbelt, snorkelling when on vacay, or hanging out at home. I really love design and party planning and, in an alternate universe, that might have actually been my job!

You'll often find me voraciously learning new things, enjoying a good book, finding every opportunity to feel fresh grass under my feet, practicing yoga, or enjoying a mug of hot tea in the morning when the air is still chilled from the night before. I can't imagine my life without my fiance and wonderful family, and I'm so excited to be planning a celebration of everything that we cherish as we start our lives together.

Mr. FF and I are always on adventures outside or playing on the beach with our sons, Rocky (a Pit bull) and Buster (a Lab/German Mutt). We love cooking and we are always trying new and different things to cook. We love our careers and love working on the same ambulance when we get the chance. I love baking, crafting, photography and living on the Weddingbee site. I am slowly learning how to be more and more girly thanks to the bees. We are getting married on the beach with all our family and friends coming from out of town. We hope it will be a Fun in the Sun Wedding Weekend!

Venue: World Trade Center, Boston

About Me: My fiance and I are born and raised Bostonians and we wouldn't have it any other way. We grew up ten minutes apart from each other but didn't meet until halfway through college ... we love to imagine how many times our paths crossed before then! We are lucky to be both completely different and exceptionally complimentary to each other at the same time. I love writing lists, anything Google, trashy reality tv and our amazing family. Our twenty month engagement has allowed us to plan piece by piece so that we hopefully aren't stressed out the week before the big day!

Now that the wedding is over, I spend my free time studying, cooking with my new husband, and caring for my two chihuahuas.

Shortly after graduating college in 2008, I met my husband and began planning our very DIY beach wedding. Now I'm a former figure skater and marine biologist wannabe who traded in her skates and SCUBA gear for aprons and cloth diapers galore! But you won't hear me complaining!

Rosychicklet

Location: Boston/Big Indian, NY

Age and Occupation: 29, Biomedical researcher

Husband's Age and Occupation: 30, Video Editor

Engagement Date: October 2, 2007

Wedding Date: September 27, 2008

Venue: The Full Moon Resort

About Me: My husband and I moved to Boston after I completed my doctorate in 2007 and became engaged a few months later. We planned a wedding weekend extravaganza (including Irish step dancers, a campfire, an after party, day after brunch, and open house) to bring together all our friends and family. My parents' cabin in the Catskill Mountains of Upstate NY is very special to us, so it made sense to share it with all our guests. Our splurge was our venue- a lodge where everyone could stay together. So, we saved money with a lot of DIY (flowers, programs, menus, table numbers, etc) and the help of family and friends (ceremony music, entertainment, etc). Now that we're happily married I spend just as much time on Weddingbee and we love exploring Boston, walking the dog, and weekends in the Catskills.

Husband's Age and Occupation: 39, Sales/Engineering

Engagement Date: February 4, 2009

Wedding Date: September 12, 2009

Venue: Guilford Lake Pavilion (ceremony), Saxon Club (reception)

About Me: We are a small town girl and small town boy who met who were matched by his aunt and my SIL. I am an unemployed former banker looking for a job while trying to plan a wedding. Our wedding will be an intimate affair, with less than 100 family & friends attending. We are getting married beside the small lake we live on and plan to party it up with our friends all night long! We love the outdoors and animals and we're tossing around the idea of someday having our own farm. I'm at times a girly girl who loves shopping, manicures, jewelry, shoes, chick flicks, and the color pink. The rest of the time I'm a tomboy, who grew with 3 older brothers and I enjoy tent camping, hopping on the back of my fiances Harley, and don't mind getting dirty every now and then. Our immediate plans after the wedding include lots of home improvements and adding to our family-first a dog then some babies!
