Scubadiva's Planning Thread

[*HOLLY*]

Hollys (Scubadiva) Planning thread

AHHHHHHHHHHHH. Ok here we go. I was not going to do one since my wedding was changed from St. Thomas to back home in MN. However some ladies HINT SB LADIES said I still should do one.

 

I want to start off staying thank you to Tammy and all the mods for this wonderful forum. I found out about this forum from my FMIL and I have been addicted to it ever since. I have received so many ideas from this thread and I know I could of not had the wedding A and I wanted with out ALL of you!

 

From the start…..

 

A and I met on craigslist back in December of 2007. Yes I know CL of ALL places. A friend told me about it and I thought I would give it a shot. Well I guess it worked since we are getting married, LOL.

 

Anyways. A and I moved pretty fast. We met in December 2007 were “official†Febuary 16th 2009 and I moved in April 2009. Like any realtionship we had our ups and downs. I knew he was a keeper when he treated my daughter Annabelle just like his own. He not only opened up his home to me but my daughter from my first marriage.

 

The engagment.

 

A tried to plan a vacation behind my back however he cant keep anything a secret from me!!!! He bought us tickets for a 10day Southern Carribean Cruise Febuary 2009  I have never been on a cruise before and I was sooooooo nervous. A had me become a certified scuba diver so we can dive the ocean together which was the best decision ever!!!
