In honor of the upcoming love-filled holiday of Valentine’s Day… I decided to participate in this mushy love survey! I saw it over on
Kat’s blog. . and new I wanted to play along
A lot of you probably know most of these stories by now, but hey – it’s all in the spirit of Valentine’s Day!
1. How long have you and your significant other been together?
Justin and I have been dating for over 3 years, living together for 1.5, and engaged for just about 6 months. Our wedding is 6 months from TODAY!
2. How did you meet? {What’s your “love” story?}
I do have an “our story” post.. so check that out for the long version…
My bridesmaid, Christine, had asked me to down to her apartment.. so I packed up my car and made the trek to see her. She lived about an hour away but I missed her dearly. We headed out to some bars in one of the younger cities in the state. She knew Justin was going to be meeting us out and had kind of planned on setting us up. Welp.. it worked!
We hit it off and began dating. And then we never stopped dating.
The night we met
3. If married, how long have you been married?
4. If you are married, where did you get married at? Big or small wedding?
We are getting married at a beautiful place on a lake. It has fantastic water views and has a great reputation. Our ceremony, however, will be at a church in my hometown.. the one I grew up going to. Our wedding is pretty big. Bigger than I expected it to be. But I have a pretty larger family! We are inviting just about 200 people.
5. Do you have any nick-names that you call one another? Do share!
I call Justin babe… and he calls me the same. We aren’t too creative over in this neck of the woods. Justin is an accountant.. so he has an excuse for his lack of nick=name creativity. But as I second grade teacher.. I have failed!
6. Name 3 things you love most about your honey.
He makes me laugh. Every day. Even when I tell him his jokes are corny… I still appreciate it!
He would drop anything to help me.
He is very family oriented – which makes me sure that he will be a wonderful father. He is already a fabulous dog-dad.
7. Tell us how he proposed?
8. Is he a flowers and teddy bear kind of guy for v-day, or strawberries, champagne, and rose petals?
Flowers and teddy bear kind of guy for sure!
9. Are you a sunset dinner on the beach kind of girl, or pop a movie in and relax on the couch?
We love to be outside – but we also love our down time! Right now Justin is working a lot and I am just stressed like I always am.. so we are definitely relaxing on the couch watching a movie WAY more then we are out and about! (We also like to play with photo booth..)
10. Tell us one thing you’d like to do with your significant one day. If you could do anything? Go anywhere?
One thing I really want to do after we are married and before we have children.. is travel to Europe. I want to go for a couple of weeks and see a lots of different places. Perhaps we can save for that after our tropical honeymoon! (JUSTIN.. ARE YOU READING THIS?!
