Stephanie is not only one of our bloggers here on Flaming Tulle but she's also a bride-to-be. Her passion for weddings and planning them is really being put to good use now!
Vicky: Let's start with the basics shall we? How did you and Mike meet?
Stephanie: We met in December 2001. Your husband knew Mike from being stationd together in the Marines. Mike was heading down to San Diego one weekend. Your husband, Dom, arranged a phone call between Mike and me and we talked and decided to meet for dinner while he was in town. We've been inseparable ever since.
V: Oh, I remember that night well. We were all at a Happy Hour together when Dom got this bright idea that you two should meet. I thought you two had things in common, but we never expected it to work out this well. So, how did Mike propose and when?
S: In the spring of 2005 Mike spent several months mountain biking in New Zealand. While there, he designed a ring and had it made by a local jeweler. He proposed when I picked him up at the airport, at LAX.
V: I love that! That's the second story I hear about airport proposals. When is the big day?
S: June 25, 2007
V: Have you picked a theme? Colors? A place? What
have you done so far and are willing to give away? I know that you and Mike don't want a lot of things to get out yet about the day.
S: It's at the Brazilian Room in Berkeley, CA. We wanted an outdoor wedding, but love this building, so we're trying to bring the outdoors in with lots of flowers and a natural, rustic feel to the decor. My mom's making my dress. We have a caterer. We've decided on centerpieces and favors, now we just have to actually make them. We decided on a kind of cake, but not a place to get it yet. We know what kind of flowers we like, but will pick out whatever looks nice at farmers' market the day before. At 4 months out, I admit lots of stuff is still up in the air, but we're not worried. We have the basics down for a great party. Most of our friends and family members are traveling from the East Coast and we really just want everyone to have a fun vacation exploring the San Francisco Bay Area. And we are a true team in planning this event. I can't imagine making all these decisions and doing all the work without Mike.
V: Congratulations again and I think the whole event sounds like it's going to be beautiful. I can't wait! Join us soon when we ask Stephanie more questions about her on-going saga in wedding planning and diying the whole event.

Yay for airport proposals! Mine happened at the baggage claim at Dulles, when my (now) fiance was picking me up from a work trip to Reno. I can't say often enough that the best part of Reno was coming home!
And now every time I go to Dulles, I get a little excited, 'cause it's "The Place!"
